Lord Ferguson Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Well... I bagged this bargain on eBay the other day and I thought I'd better share it with you all... I don't know a great deal about this model... only that it was made exclusively for MF Powerpart back in the 90's (unsure of the date)... if anyone has any more information then please feel free to post it up in here. Not sure of the maker... but it does 'smack of' conrad to me looking at the wheels \ - anyway.. here it is... sorry about the pic quality... my dog has broken my tripod.. and Barry pinched my white background thingy... Bonnet opens to reveal a 'bit' of engine detail... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Rear linkage is a nice touch.. I bet not many survived in this condition... it's VERY fragile really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Brian Parks (founder of SCALEdown) was approached by MF to do this for them.... but they decided to go with (presumably) a cheaper quote....and got that.. the plough that was issued at the same time (on a blister card,if my memory serves me) is not even the same scale.. and yes I have them both...somewhere.

Lord Ferguson Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've since seen the plough... it's tiny... Do you know what year this was Nigel... my guess is 1988-1990 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmtoysDK Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi nice model, Had one a couple of years ago. And I just bought one again, with plow. I've seen a few on a german convention, priced at 200-250 euro's. How much did you pay for yours?? Regards Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi Sonny... I think I paid a little over £40 for it from memory.... quite a bargain then by the sound of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
