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. 

Hi,  in my topic ( Westwood W8 (1983) "Baby" - restoration) I've completed the information about colours. I have information about RAL numbers from Westwood (Ariens).
They had difficulty with 7021, because they were not sure. But in the end it's this number that matches the original.
So 2002 and 7021 are the current equivalents of colours from years of production.

reading the brochure...  Only 3 models on Mk2 . W8R, W8E and W11E - all 36" deck.

 

So when did 28 and 32" decks become options?  Mk1 or Mk3?

I have a W8 from 1983 (undergoing renovation). There is a 28" deck there and it was like that from the beginning.

yours looks like mk3, we've done quite a few sets of 8hp 28"

 

Assume it has lights on the dash? - hard to tell from the pic...
