What is this grille/headlight/front end, and where do I find

This is my favourite grille/ front end I have seen on a Mk1. I have seen it on only a couple different cars, and only in rare photos online but does it have a name? what model is it from? and most importantly, where do I get it?!

You may also be interested in where I found it, completely stunning example. Probably my favourite example of a Mk1 ever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

USA Westmorland front.

It's a whole front panel swap.

Thanks Funk! I just think this would look insane on my Cabby, it's a rarity!

Would it not be easy to swap over with the standard round lights? What would I need to do to swap? Is there a thread where someone has done the same conversion?

Bedford rascal lights and a grille with some chopping/fabricating would work. Depends on your skill level? I'd love one but not seen one up for sale

Make one myself? It sounds fun haha, but I couldn't see myself doing that. (If someone has a thread where they have done that, I would give it a go).

I found a website that isn't selling the lights and grille but is selling USA Westmoreland front side panels (the part with the arches) is that what you mean by the whole front panel swap, do they have a smaller front end? This means a different bonnet too? And any knowledge to if the different panels would be a straight swap with the standard ones?

Thank you.

No the wings are the same. It's the front slam panel, the part the lights fix to/bonnet catch is in.

So on my to-buy (/to steal/to search like a bitch for) list is a USA Westmoreland Slam Panel and then the grille/headlights will fit straight on?

Must go to work soon but will be checking later, been a huge help in the beginning of my quest for this beautiful front end!

wings arent the same they need modding! the westy if done right sits further back than the recess on normal wings!

check back end of this thread out to do it.

Thanks, I will have a big gander through it as soon as I am home from work. But for the arch side panels, they sit further back? Which means I need to have them to fit the grille? Or they just have different fittings on the Westmorelands but are same size, meaning I can use my normal panels? If anyone knows where I can purchase any of these items I would be incredibly happy

he got the front 1/4 of wings sent over from usa and chopped 2 wings to make do, the indicators sit further back into corner of the wing funk thats whatt needs chaniging.

im thinking proper westmorland here and breifly read that, that westy as westys ive seen are different?

Lol, the one above is the westy front, the one jack fitted is just the normal rabbit front.

I'm not going mad! Lol

Lol I must be! Long day

Haha I am rather confused now, I do or do not need new wings?
