Introduction |
Like Caterham, Westfield builds
cars based on the Lotus Seven, but with more deviations, such as V8 power,
independent rear suspensions instead of de Dion axle and recently a full
carbon fiber body / chassis integral. The man who drives such progress is
the company founder Chris Smith, who was a racing driver during the 60 `s
and 70 `s.
Unlike Caterham, Westfield primarily
produces cars for week-end racing and provides services alongside. Its business
also extended to the USA where Caterham is still unknown. Obviously it is
the number 1 arch-rival to the Caterham. |
