We already had that first gathering here in Thousand Oaks, when Jorger's old car showed up at my home. The nature of the cars sort of rules out long distance...
Here is a link to their version of the XI. It uses the Miata running gear including the front and rear sub-frames. Definitely not light weight. Esko ...
Hi guys. I've been looking at the Westfields for quite a while now, but would really love to see one in person. I'm in Santa Clara--any owners within 100 miles...
I have come across an "original" eleven from the early eighties that is complete. It belonged to a friend of mine who has since passed away. I have worked on...
Westfields trade for whatever someone wants to pay for one. A new kit, after construction, will probably cost the owner $34,000. Cars in Europe have sold for...
... A complete and working (and thouroughly raced) XI with a 1600 X-flow in it recently sold on/off eBay "in the low $20s". You could always base a price off...

I was wondering if there was a preferred year for the donor car, or if one was needed at all...Perhaps it would be cheaper in the long run to buy a crate...
Welcome to the group! I believe we have enough expertise here to get you thru the tough parts of your build. At this point in time, I would think that you are...
'Optimum' donor would be a 1275cc Midget, so obviously this rules out earlier cars with 1089cc engines, or later cars with Triumph 1500cc engines. I'n th UK,...
