Cheap project
maybe a tad overpriced but if it is a westie could be worth having.

Could just possibly be a pre-litigation westfield, I would want to see some verification on that before paying that much though.

good in a way, it was the close caterham/Lotus Series 3. Before Caterham took legal action and won, moulds then destroyed and design for subsequent
Westies changed dramatically.

Looking at the welding on the chassis would definately say that part is NOT westy, nose cone and rear arches may be, front gaurds are not. Looks like
a bit of a mongrel to me. Honest opinion too expensive. Just my feeling, so don't shoot the messenger. Ray

Pre-lit Westy is the car from which the Locost design was borrowed by Uncle Ron.
The car on Ebay looks very much like a book Locost chassis design to me.

If that is a westy it's a damn early one. Or, as is more likely, it's a Locost. Can't see why you'd bucther the back end
passenger bay to put those plates in if it was genuine.

Yorkshire Rally Spares are literally around the corner from me!
I was speaking to Pete (the seller) about this car a few weeks ago and he said that the original owner had unfortunately died, so Pete didn't
know a great deal about it and I think he makes this fact pretty clear...
He's a genuinely honest bloke and I don't think it's overpriced when you consider that the panelling isn't bad and all it
needs are wheels to make it a rolling chassis! Realistically, it doesn't need many bits to finish it!
Spin 'er off Well...
