You must rearrange your directives:

# For security reasons, Option followsymlinks cannot be overridden.
#Options +FollowSymlinks -Multiviews
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch -Multiviews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+single\.php\?name=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /page/%1? [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$ single.php?name=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(Web/2015/wessexcars)/internalpage\.php?seo=\?name=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^(Web/2015/wessexcars)/(.+?)/?$ $1/internalpage.php?seo=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

firstly change your config file make index file blank

$config['index_page'] = '';

and make a htaccess file

    <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
    </ifmodule>
