British kit-car maker Westfield is releasing two limited-edition models to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

Just 25 Jubilee XI and Jubilee Sport SE cars will be produced, with the latter available as a kit for those wishing to build the car themselves.

The Jubilee XI, modelled on the Lotus Eleven racing car of the 1950s, is available for £16,950. It features a 65bhp 1275cc engine and special trim, including limited-edition yellow split-rim wheels and a plaque commemorating the firm's 25 years.

The Jubilee Sport SE costs £25,995 built by the factory or £19,995 supplied as a kit. It is powered by a 2.0-litre Ford engine and includes the same one-off features as the XI.

Westfield was set up in the garage of founder Chris Smith's home, Westfield House, in 1982. The company is still family-run and every car sold is designed and built in-house.
