This is my latest purchase and arguably my favorite one yet. An aveling barford calf dozer, a very early one being the hopper cooled one and the original 800cc dorman Petrol engine. A beast of a machine and built to with stand the test of time. Due to the nature of use, usually these machines are worn out but this one is pretty good in my opinion. Starts easily and will run all day. Has the front blade with it and drawbar. Wanted one of these for a while and now finally have one. here are some pictures for you guys.

Here's a few photos i took of the arena display today. The only thing i bought was a couple of galvanised signs for £2.50 each, worth the money i thought

Day 2 photo's. An extra tractor turned up to join the horticultural line up. Another Bolens. Hoods up, have they broken down or are they just comparing old age problems. And the last few, more bikes and trikes for Norm.

Only Chris and I in the horticultural section today. Will there be more tomorrow. ? A selection of photo's as we know you all like photo's, especially Norm. A cutaway Gardner engine. The remains of a Scammell open top Fire Engine. A good weekend project for someone. Mr Showman ? Fire Engine, RED paint. OK, maybe not. An unusual tracked Mobility Scooter. Something else which Norm likes. A kit of parts and the end result. And the last for today. The first tractor which friend John bought years ago. Now in the hands of a MoM member.

At least he turns up to the shows

I see Courtney's still in place. Looks like he's become a permanent fixture.

Last year I bought an old DAF 66 estate locally. It's a quirky little old car that is powered by a 1.1 Renault engine with variomatic transmission. It will need some TLC on the sills. The colour is Tundra Green. These are photos of when I got it back in December and have yet to update the photos. Very unusual to find a DAF, let alone an estate. I have sorted out the engine with a service including finding a new alternator. The DAF Owners Club is a gem of a club and have helped me out with a few items.DAF Hobby, in the Netherlands, sourced me the outer sills. Here are some photos for Koen's benefit.

Here you are Chris. New car just delivered. Carol thanking the delivery man.

He just has to grin and BEAR it, especially as he is cable tied to the wheel.

The Chevy van in the 13th photo I could go for. As to the Gold Wings. No thanks. Cars minus two wheels. Not proper motorcycles.

Photos from the working weekend at the Scottish Vintage Tractor & Engine Club @ scone 10th september

Happy birthday Harry💋

Now that is a real prize Harry, congratulations, I know I am green with envy!

Yes I'm on the Daf Forum, there's a couple of Facebook groups as well, I will try and get a picture on but I had a lot of trouble trying to upload pictures last time I tried and gave up

Nice Daf 66, I have a Daf 44, 850 twin cylinder boxer, I love it but its in the worst colour possible s--t brown.

Something different.

That's a machine Harry, very impressive

That's neat Andrew Back in the mid 80's a friend of ours used to tow two vintage motorcycles to shows behind a saloon version, we all wondered how the car put up with it !

Very cool machine Harry

I like that. Kind of cute.
