Description
Here for sale is my beloved V8. I bought this off the son of the owner of JE Developments (Rover V8 specialist John Eales).
I bought the car being around 60% done and since then I've invested another £8, 000 in work to get it to a 100% complete and finished and fully working Seight with of course no expense spared.
Also has loads of carbon fibre, such as:
Carbon wing mirrors
Carbon cycle wings
Carbon rear numberplate surround
Carbon tail light surrounds
Carbon door sills
Carbon foot sills
The ultimate star of the show is the engine from JE Developments, it produces around 330 BHP and goes as well as it sounds (especially after it's been camed. It's also colour matched to the car!
Below is an extract from the original advertisement which contains further key information
"Here is my 1998 Seight which has been completely upgraded since I bought it in 2015.
I’ve always loved V8s (my Dad was Factory Manager at JE Engineering) and seeing the development Seight at the JE workshop meant when I decided to buy a Westfield it had to have a sorted John Eales V8 heart.
So I’ll start with the JE Developement engine in this car - it is a 4420cc V8 on 48mm down draught Dellorto carburettors, a 234 cam with Vernier timing gear and high rev lifters.
The Compression ratio is 10. 1 : 1, 44mm inlet valves 38mm exhaust. It produced 320bhp / 296ft on JE Development dyno as a fresh build, its loosened since (done 2k miles) - in short it’s delivers epic performance with all the drama and sound you would expect.
It has recently been given a new AP racing green clutch plate, cover and new release bearing fitted
