KIT CAR Test Drives A Westfield XI

All last week I had the opportunity to test drive a Westfield XI, which is a replica of a 1956 Lotus XI racecar, distributed by Manik LLC in Texas. The car was an absolute hoot to drive. I was mere inches off the ground in this 1,200 pound racecar. The Westfield XI handles like it's on rails.

I was mere inches off the ground in this 1,200 pound racecar. The Westfield XI handles like it's on rails. That's all I'll say for now, but watch for a full feature on the diminuitive racecar in an upcoming issue of KIT CAR Magazine. You won't want to miss all the cool photos we took and all that occured while touring Southern California in this sweet machine from the glory days of road racing in the 1950s.
