As for the Westfield, I think it would be a very easy import into the US,

-------------------------------------------

Maybe not... five or six years ago, I went on a "blat" with a group of
Caterham/Birkin Sevens in the Los Angeles mountains. There was a gentleman
there, an automotive writer, who ran with us in his Westfield Eleven. He had
a 948 sprite engine in it, and on those twisty mountain roads, he had little
trouble keeping up with the Sevens. He said he bought that car some twenty
years earlier, and it was registered in CA, but I don't know what the title
said. I am pretty sure a posting on the USA7 forum would give you an answer,
as the same people who were on that "blat" are still active in the Seven
world.
