If they are the same price then the Westfield sounds tempting. It would suggest that either the Westie si cheap or the Tiger is overpriced.

If the cars were newer and the Westie was attracting the normal badge premium, I certainly wouldn't discount the Tiger.

Comes down to personal preference really.

I'd buy a westy ahead of a tger but specification and condition are probably more important. If the westy is rusty and falling to pieces and the tiger is straight and clean the tiger would probably be the better buy.

Is it a Cat or a Super Six? Only the Six tends to be alightly more expensive than the Cat.

The other thing I'd say is that these are pre-SVA cars so be thorough in your examination of the car to convince yourself that the builder was competant.

Edited to say: Re-reading the original message, you may well be talking about the engine cc not the year it was built.

If you buy the Six, make sure you check for oval lower front wishbones - I believe they were originally oval and are now round (mine certainly are, with oval uppers) and there were a few cases of wishbone breakage. I think Tiger offered free replacements for the old style oval lowers.
