2016 Westfield XI 1380cc Manual – NOW SOLD

From its humble beginnings in 1983, Westfield Sportscars began manufacturing the Westfield Eleven, a replica of the iconic Lotus Eleven produced in the 1950s to race at Le Mans. In 2004, over twenty years later, due to popular demand, the Eleven was re-launched as it was in 1983. An internationally renowned manufacturer of quality kit cars for discerning enthusiasts.
