My apologies if this is in the wrong section.

While just perusing some Westfield photos I came across this:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2244/241 ... 3d.jpg?v=0

Not only does it look pretty unique and cool, it appears to have a lockable trunk as well. I've never seen anything like it but I was wondering if you much-more-knowledgeable folk have? Is it one off, aftermarket, or some new option from westfield? The quality looks top notch with perfect cutlines for the trunklid so that makes me think factory.

Also, I found this little thumbnail image that intrigued me but the link is dead, so I would much appreciate being instructed as to what this kit car is:

Thank you for your time and I would be grateful for any help!

That car has the Westfield FW Evolution body. The Flyin' Miata Westfield has the FW Evolution nose on it, but they were unable to order the rear as there is apparently issues with fitting the fuel tank with the IRS under the FW Evolution rear end.

Strip away the google search string and that photo comes from the TotalKitCar website. It is the Zolfe.

Hope that helps. :D

I'm looking for more pics of the westfield but can't seem to find anything on it. It looks cool enough to try!

That top Westy looks sweet probably one of the nicest I've seen. I do like that rear end the normal 7 rear is way to angular and plain.
