I spotted this little gem on Gumtree it few weeks back. It looks complete but it has not been ran for some two years. I spoke to the seller and a deal was struck. He was well chuffed that it was going to a collector and that sealed the deal. It had a new clutch on it a few years back and the seller repainted the bonnet. It need a new tyre on the front apparently. A mate of his will be delivering it to me from Scotland to Devon for an amazing £100 on one of his regular sorties into England.
Here are some photos of it and it nice to see the centre cap on the steering wheel.
Just heard from the seller that the cheque cleared and that it will be delivered sometime tomorrow evening. He also said that he put some fuel in and it fired up but was a wee bit smoky. Not bad after being laid up for 2 years. Looking forward to seeing it in the metal as it were. .
Alain,
Those Tri ribs looks the DBs. That's a bugger about the suppliers messing you around but I am sure it will be resolved one way or the other.
Cheers
Jammy Gits! On Dartmoor today we were expecting sleet and snow sometime today but instead it was sunny and warm! However, snow is now expected tonight. My eldest son is camping out on Dartmoor tonight as part of his training for Ten Tors.
Great to see the tractors working and great to see your lads joining in the work party too.
I like the look of that trailer too; it looks very substantial. I can't quite make out the logo on the trailer.
I think Chris will use the digger to create an underground storage facility or he might use it to store them on top of the existing buildings...... The possibilities are endless......
