CAB 282 is one of the best-known examples of the marque and is one of two survivors of the four prototypes built by Dellow immediately after WW2. Lots of spares included including standard spare engine, drive shafts, rear arches, engine spares etc.It is a regular FTD winner against single seat racing cars, perpetual class winner and multiple record holder. It also comes with a Race-Technology DL1 data logger, full UK (the BSC calendar, England, Wales, NI and even Scotland) logged circuit and running data supplied with car (especially great to have if you’re a newbie). Also included are x3 wings, x2 front and x1 rear but although in period I doubt they are originally from a Kaimann.

The car has since run faultlessly for two seasons in HSA Speed Championship in the growing Pre '94 Formula Ford Class. It is with a heavy heart but the time has come for my highly successful and much loved Westfield to go to a new home. The B48 was subsequently raced by Eddie Jordan and Brian Robinson, who eventually converted it to a Donington GT car with a Lotus Espirit body.The car is all ready to go but needs a bit of TLC as it has only done a few events in the last three years, with none this year. Lightweight Westfield bodywork (not in showroom condition and has several small cracks some damage to the drivers side rear wing – all easily repaired). It was re-imported into the UK in 2012 by club racer Steve Baker who has since commissioned the rebuild and now offers it for sale. This early Mallock U2 Clubmans car (updated to 6b spec) is a superb example from one of the UK’s finest car restoration connoisseurs.
