Just register it as an agriculture vehicle 

Yeah that's what I want todo. Then I can insure it through nfu. How do I go about doing this? 

Hi Everyone 

This might seem abit crazy but has anyone ever managed to road register a Westwood tractor so it can be used on the road in day light only. I want to use it to go up the road about a mile to my allotment. 

Has anyone ever managed this or is it to much hassle 

Thanks

Tom

Hi Guys 

Thanks for that I've checked the website out and found just what I'm looking for. Great stuff.

Hi 

Can anyone recommend where they get brand new tyres from for there machinery. Somewhere online that's decent price. 

I'm wanting some 

16x6.50-8 rear 
13x5.00-6 front 

Thanks

Tom 

Yeah sure I will do.  I've got some on my computer. It's currently in storage at my dad's and for the obvious reasons I can't go there. Yeah of you could put the brochure on that would be helpful.

Hi, I'm currently restoring another Gazelle (not pictured on profile) and i've looked on the MK2 and the bonnet colour is more red than Westwood orange. I was told on the forum Rover red would be a good option as it's very similar. For the body I'm still trying to find some paint although I think dark grey is right rather than black. 

Pictured is the Mk2

 

Hope this helps!

I'm still trying to find out what model mine is. There is nothing on it apart from gazelle. 

My other one is a gazelle w8 with the rear exhaust. 

I did some googling last night and I read the Westwood orange is RAL2002 and the chassis colour is RAL7021. I'm not sure how true this is but having googled the paint codes they look similar.

 Can't help you with the paint colours, but

 

 There are two or three Westwood owners on here. Put Westwood Gazelle in the search and see what comes up. I think the paint colours were mentioned in a topic somewhere.

Brilliant thankyou 

Hey 

Picked this up the other day fairly local to me. 

It's my second gazelle my other one has the rare rear exhaust. 

I'm planning on resorting this one to original colours. Where can I get the original orange from?

Is the chassis just black or a grey colour? 

Thanks

Hi all I just thought I'd post some pictures of my Westwood Gazelle W11, which I bought in 2010 and fully restored (apart from the seat and some little bits). I would like to at some point to replace some of the steering joints, paint the engine and maybe give her an under-body exhaust that exits at the back like I hear the originals had.

 

Here it is when I bought it, it was a Gazelle but with Laser parts and was badly rusted:

And here she is after I restored her:

I no this was years ago but I have 2 gazelles and currently restoring them. What colour did you use for the bonnet? And is the chassis just black. ?.
