Since 1990, when they took over the the Street Beetle project, the Chesil Motor Company has undergone several changes of ownership, but throughout the intervening years have produced over 500 examples of their highly regarded 365 Speedster replica in both kit form and factory built, both for the UK and overseas markets.
After a period of low volume activity Chesil is now in the capable hands of Westfield Sportscars and the Speedster will join their established line-up of Seven style cars and highly innovative autonomous pods. Production will be centred on Westfield's existing premises at Kingswinford in the West Midlands, under the stewardship of MD Simon Westwood.
Apart from the the conventionally powered Chesil Classic, the new fully electric Chesil E will join the range.
