I've owned 2 Westfields and several of the early monocoque Robin Hood 7's all with various engines from a 1600 Ford crossflow to a tuned 3.9 Rover V8. I also had a Ginetta 27 with a Rover V8, with an Escort live axle.
You are right about the characteristics of the 7 but the bigger engines with matched diff ratio make them far more drivable.
Remember the 250 TR was a small car designed for the track first and foremost all be it with a big engine. The original TR must have been a handful with the V12 engine and skinny tyres.
