What is this car???? (pic)

[TheCarMadDad]

As the title says really....

Alll I know about it is what it says on the windscreen... It's a Westfield Topaz Prototype sports car from 1986, just wondered if anyone had anymore info or history on it; engine, RWD/FWD, transmission etc etc...?

From the pic it looks like it has borrowed the headlights from a mk2 Fiesta & the rears look like they have come off a mk3 Granada? Also are the wheels from a mk3 Fiesta RS??



Edit: spelling

Wheels are not Ford ones

They are Cosworth lookalikes if you look at them through 10 pints of strong lager.

That's Honda CRX-sized.

[V8forweekends]

Idle speculation elsewhere on t'interweb suggests it was mid-engined, not much else to be found.

Morris Marina/Lotus/Range Rover door handles.

It's at the Black Country Museum.

I'm sure from hazy memory it was shown/unveiled at one of the shows, possibly NEC, around the time the caterham 21 came out. Mid engined...looks bloody awful, canned, never to be seen again

Different wheels and a better colour might make it a bit less hideous.
