In Britain, you can buy a factory-assembled Westfield. In the U.S., we don't have that option... Westfields are only imported in kit form. This "FM-Westfield" is a single-donor kit - in other words, it's designed to use a whole lot of Mazda Miata components - such as the uprights, hubs and brakes shown here - plus of course the engine and transmission. This makes the Westfield especially inexpensive to build and convenient to service.

Even the instrument cluster comes from a Miata:
