I don't know but unless you have huge hands, that looks really small, so I'm not thinking american V8 or anything

yeah, it is quite small so im thinking maybe fiesta? in length the total measurement tip to tip is 190mm.

an ebay search for 81AB - 11000 gives fiesta/escort starter motors

81AB - 11000 - EB
agreed, cross reference shows fiesta/escort.
