Description
2002 Westfield S8 4.0ltr V8 11000 miles
Runner but no MOT, just in need of a little TLC. The price reflects the rarity of V8 versions of these cars.
It uses the double cross bolted 4.0 litre P36 Range Rover engine, advertised when I bought it to produce 200 bhp; I've never checked this figure.
I bought the car in 2012 and it's been continuously looked after and improved year by year, but hasn't been used since covid. It had 5500 miles on it when I got it, so 5500 added in the first 8 years of my ownership. I averaged 500 - 800 miles a year in it.
I added a personal plate to it, which will stay with the car.
The original cut and shut alloy range rover plenum has been exchanged for an RPI carbon fibre plenum and intake trumpets.
The whole brake system has been changed for a system made by Hi Spec, with grooved discs and 4 pot alloy race calipers. Much more effective than the originals considering there is no servo assistance on this car.
The wheels are Wolfrace Assasins with Nang Kang semi slick directional tyres which are very effective. The spare is unidirectional. The rear wheels are spaced 8mm out each side.
There are a couple of starburst cracks in the bodywork, and a chip in the bodywork near the bonnet lock, which were there when I bought the car and have not changed in my 13 years of ownership. It has picked up a couple of light scratches along the way, but I never risked polishing them out, which probably wouldn't take much effort. There a couple of tiny nicks in the driver's seat, but very minor.
The suspension is fully adjustable with red springs from Faulkners.
Even more unique customisation includes CNC machined rear light housings, with LED tail lights, including fog and reverse. CNC machined front LED indicator mounts, replacing the ugly wing styled originals. The front nose louvres have been removed and replaced with a full size mesh. In my opinion, considerably better looking than the louvres and allowing more air flow. Even the engine oil filler cap is handmade in blue anodised aluminium with a yellow Westfield inlay.
Chrome motorcycle headlamps replace the original bulbous items, although the car has been used once at night; the nose blocks half the headlamp beam and it's not fun in the dark!
And just for the record, it's never been driven in the wet.
There is a tonneau cover which I have never used, but it's still supple after 13 years being rolled up in the loft. Doors are also included, again never fitted. It has a locking boot lid
