Ah, remind me before Newby Hall, I have a most of a spare unit for a Wheelhorse that you can have for a nominal sum...

A mate of mine down on the Sussex Coast (no not Mr Showman) has a large collection of stationary engines, mainly generators and battery charging sets, amongst which is a little set made by W.E.Conyers Ltd. I always fancied this little set and thought if one came along I would add it to the collection, as its 6 12 or 24 volt I could use it to demonstrate the 12 volt Tarpen equipment that I have. Walking round the Sunday Sortout at Newark last November I spotted a Conyers set on the very last stall we looked at. It wasn't dear so was duly purchased and brought back to the camping field (see first photo below) A few days later I popped down to see our mate Steve who owns the other Conyers set and found that not only did my set run with a bit of tinkering (and a bit of smoke - too much oil in the petrol) but that it and Steves set are only two serial numbers apart !!

Thats the one...

Its back on there Neil... Installation depends on the application, for your Trojan you may need some mounting brackets fabricated...

Heres a photo of the second Multigardner on the rotavator chassis, taken yesterday evening, nearly finished...

And heres another few items I picked up last year...

Fantastic job, well done !!

We could sleep in it John, not at Newark though its too damn cold !!! Hairy pooch not forgotten as regards accomodation...

Thanks Neil, good man !!

The motorised fork is Steve D's jobber, my Jobber is similar but has a hedge trimmer attachment.

Indeed they are Neil, thats not the entire collection

We also have a few Landmaster machines, some of these were also displayed at Ardingly last year (photos taken before the low flying Trojan arrived )

As many of you will know I collect Tarpen equipment and now have a reasonably sized collection, shown here is the display we put on at the Ardingly Vintage Vehicle Show last year...

Absolutely, good stuff !!

Jolly Good !!

Cracking job, well done team !!

Yes indeedy the show may have changed but the hospitality will be just the same !!!

Thanks Neil, I know its a long haul for you and it would be much appreciated if we saw you there.

Anyone else who wants to come and support us please let me know, entry forms are available from me... 2013 Vintage Vehicle Show entrants should all have received a form from me anyway... We would like to make this an anuual gathering at the Smallholders Show, its a good show and well worth supporting folks...

Must admit I always fancied a Subaru pickup they just look like a neat machine...

The Cuckoo Fayre is held at Laughton in East Sussex over the late May Banl Holiday weekend each year.

To be fair to the old blue oval I have had three Focus, a 1.6 hatch which was a bit of a dog, a 2 litre hatch which was superb, only bettered by the 2 litre estate I had for 8 years before trading it in last year for the Duster.. My dad was in the Ford world in the motor trade for many years so I think some of his influence rubbed off, until now I have only ever owned Ford or Vauxhall cars and they never let me down, luck of the draw I suppose...

Can you sweet talk Fergie Dave to bring it to Tractofest then Nigel ?? Please ??

Or on the ground, must be the fat bugger thats sat on it holding it down...

Great refurb, well done !
