The history of Westfield Sportscars n the spring of 1982 historic grand prix competitor and engineer, Chris Smith decided to design and build a replica of one of his all-time favourite race cars, the gorgeous 1956 Lotus XI Le Mans car. Such was the accuracy and beauty of the car he produced in his home garage at Westfield House, Armatage he was immediately inundated with requests from enthusiasts wanting one for themselves. By the following Easter in 1983 the company Westfield Sportscars had been created. Further demand for the new Westfield XI replica kit meant bigger premises and staff were required and the fledgling sportscar company was under way. From the outset Chris and business partner and wife, Eileen recognised the importance of constantly reinvesting in product development. Furthermore every aspect of the cars from the chassis to the seats and interior trim would all be designed and built entirely inhouse to ensuring both high quality and value for money. This is an ethos that continues today and sets Westfield head and shoulders above any other product in the kit car industry After the introduction of a new car, the equally well received Westfield 7SE, a decision was taken to fade out the XI allowing the team to concentrate on production of the new kit. The company continued expanding rapidly to cope with ever growing demand, which became even stronger after the bodywork was redesigned and moderised. Westfield was now firmly established as a big player. In 1991, Westfield again needed bigger premises and moved to the impressive factory and office block in Kingswinford where it is still manufacturing today. It was here that the incredible V8- powered SEIGHT first caused the earth to shake. With monster power and an incredible 0-60mph time of 3.6 seconds it was Wesfield s fastest machine thus far and received critical acclaim from the motoring press. It would be hard to follow a car like that but Westfield went on to become one of the first car manufacturers to harness bike power. The small, but very powerful and high revving machines enabled incredible feats of speed and agility and offered fantastic performance at a low price. In October 2004, in response to a constant flow of enquiries, the XI was reintroduced. The car proved a massive hit once again, with a full order book and rapturous praise from new owners. In December 2006, the company entered a new stage of its development when British owned Potenza Sports Cars Ltd acquired it. The resulting inward investment will take the development of the company to new and exciting levels whilst ensuring that its products consistently redefine the quality, engineering and technology standards within the kit car industry. Westfield remains a family run, UK based manufacturer. Its skilled and highly trained workforce will continue to produce high quality craftsmanship in every aspect of production.
