Company reg no. I Love my Caterham but I also have a real soft spot for Westfield and looked at them when I was looking for my 7. ...the depreciation on a Caterham is glacial - you are going to loose way more on your top-top every year so it's not much of an issue. With Caterhams you tend to know more what you are buying as the specifications and models are well known and understood.I think that Westfields are a bit more fibreglass than the Caterham and you are buying into the heritage bit with the Caterham. Note that recently there was a joint meeting of the WSCC and the L7C at Curborough sprint course; the fastest induvidual cars were WestiesWell, I have wanted to own a Seven since the early 60s. My local hillclimb is Loton park and the various class records are traded between Westield and Caterham. and what are the main differences? I have owned both but to be fair my Westfield was a Pre-litigation Seven some years ago and my Caterham is a late nineties model. Don't forget too that the Caterham is the "official" current version of the original Lotus 7 design (Caterham own the rights). Okay... so why are used Westfields so much cheaper than used Caterhams? Caterhams tend to be more expensive but hold ther value well as they are generally built from new componentry wherease many Westfields are built from donor vehicles which are of necessity already well and truly secondhand. Thing is I have set a budget of £15k and have already been in a caterham which was all I expected and more. Westfield prefers to employ the same glass fibre body method that Lotus has traditionally used for their other models such as the Elise, Esprit, and Elan, rather than the aluminium used by Caterham. If you want a less partizan crowd to ask the question to, and I suggest you do, you should check out the The main difference between Westfield and Caterham is that the former has bodywork made from glass fibre, while its rival has an aluminium body. Bottom end for a Caterham is what, £6000 ? Finally the Westies are out at the sprint track this Sunday!Hmm, this is an L7 club web site forum, so I think asking this kind of question here is somewhat naive, if you pardon me for saying so. Beautifully built, with acceleration like the tide... relentless. To declare my allegiance, I own a Caterham SLR, and cannot see myself owning any Se7en other than a Caterham, but that's not to say they are better than all the rest. Who are they to say what's right or not? I also have a friend with a Rover V8 in a Dax Rush. The Westfield is a mere copy and as we all know copies are not worth as much as the original, especially when they are inferior to that original. Of course not. ...the depreciation on a Caterham is glacial - you are going to loose way more on your top-top every year so it's not much of an issue. Caterhams cost lots more but hold more value. All Westfield supplied component built cars do in fact hold their value well as well as Caterhams, but most are more likely to be scratch built and therefore less valued, similar to any bolt on goodies they never retain the value eg tintop addons Caterhams cost lots more but hold more value. Edited by - dogvet on 23 Jun 2000 20:05:47Please don't take this the wrong way, but "if you need to ask this question then I suggest that you buy a Westfield". I gave serious consideration to the pre-litigation Westfield until said litigation put an end to that possibility. Well Mike, the Caterham is a direct descendant of the Lotus 7 with the provenance to prove it, so therefore holds its value. I wouldn't dare... especially after being taken round Mallory Park last year in a Carbon Fibre Westfield powered by a 260bhp Cosworth engine. Caterhams cost lots more but hold more value.

Find all the transport options for your trip from Caterham to Westfield Stratford City right here. If you are considering travelling up to test a westfield, then please let me now when so that we can meet, why not stop over at our house. Caterhams cost lots more but hold more value. Rome2rio makes travelling from Caterham to Westfield Stratford City easy. Cost for cost, the Westfield is likely to win (if competently set-up), because the price of even a moderately specced Caterham will buy you a lot more power and trick suspension on a Westfield. Hire one or go to the local club meet and get a ride. However when I see the spec of them compared to the competitors two things get to me. You are not likely to get an impartial response here are you? This is easy. Not trolling - just noticed that Westfields are much cheaper.
