1970's
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.
