The car is owned by Kev Leaper of PPC Magazine who we do various work for. This is a westfield XI, a copy of the Lotus XI. This car has been graced with bigger arches and a bonnet bulge to accomodate it&#8217;s vauxhall XE &#8216;redtop&#8217; engine. It&#8217;s a fair deviation from how Lotus intended it to look but I thiink it looks like a rolling work of art, assuming that is you can see past the dust, rust and cobwebs.<\/p>\n<p>The plan id to get it race ready, no mean feat but one we&#8217;re all set for. So far we&#8217;ve got it running and resolved a few cooling problems. The next\u00a0obstacle\u00a0was freeing off the brakes which wasn&#8217;t too hard, but then found that they wouldn&#8217;t bleed back up again. The master cylinder had seized so once that was replaced and several tight bleed nipples freed off it had brakes once again. Now we&#8217;re down to the nitty gritty of getting it set up and all those little details that take so much time but I can&#8217;t wait to see the car back on the race track<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/DSCF1774.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-311\" title=\"DSCF1774\" src=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/DSCF1774-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/DSCF1774-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/DSCF1774-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Westfield XI in need of some love and attention<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[106,28,3,30],"tags":[56,31,32,87,86],"class_list":["post-310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aa-sport","category-garage-services","category-projectcars","category-track-day-toys","tag-brake-overhaul","tag-race-car","tag-track-day","tag-vauxhall-redtop","tag-westfield"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":548,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310\/revisions\/548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
