I've been collecting and working on Westwood Tractors for some years, and have a few, and yesterday took delivery of a W11 Mark 1 after wanting one for some time. I am very much into original patina so am very pleased with the condition of the paint and decals . The only thing is at some point the gear change has been repaired and although it works well I would like to fit an original lever and leather boot/cover. Does anyone possibly have one they would sell ? The machine has sat unused in the dry for many years so my first job is to get it running , then clean the paintwork and treat with Owatrol oil to preserve it. The deck is nice and solid but has been painted with zinc primer so I will probably return it to original colour. Very pleased with this machine, and looks great parked with my Mark 2 W11, my T1000 and my work horse D1200. Proper engineering these Westwoods ,built to last !

I have a few Westwoods too and I have just got a Mark1 W11 same as yours. My cover over the gear selector is missing and the lever has been modified and as the machine is so original I want to put it back to original spec. Did I notice you had a couple for spares or am I mistaken ? I am in Cornwall so not too far away. Your machine looks super, you have done such a nice job bringing it back to life.
