~ Nick's Pics ~
This is Nicks 1996 Seiw with Vauxhall power.
He has been in America for a while and whilst he was there, he raced his car. They weren't sure what is was as they apparently don't see many Westfield's but were very surprised by the performance of this little rocket.
Now Owned by Asterix (Peter).
