What kind of tractor is in the 4th and 5th pic?  looks like an allgaier or porsche tractor  Koen

I can give you an answer Koen.     It is a 'Crawley' Tractor.

Built in the late '50's by a Company based originally in/near the Town of Crawley (4 miles away from me).

So you don't know just how close you were to thinking it looked similar to those you mentioned :thumbs: .

Also that it was designed by a fellow countryman of yours !!.   Here's a link to give you more detail:-   http://tractors.wikia.com/wiki/Crawley_Metal_Products_Ltd       

Regards.

thanks richard, thanks for the link pretty much explains why i thouht it was a porsche/allgaier

"The original design was by a Dutchman, hence the continental styling like the Porsche/Allgaier tractors."

The three wheeler in the sixth picture reminds me of one I used to have. Only mine was a Dinky toy.

Ahh the opperman motocart a grand machine indeed I drove one once on a tractor run now im not normally a nervous guy but i was jolly glad when i parked up at the end of the day lol the dinky toy option would suit me just fine 

will say for the cuckoo fair looks good
