miker Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Excellent job there miker - I often did wonder what happened the original \ according to the roadless video roger haines bought it but i dont know if he still has it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I had the pleasure to drive one of the original prototypes (3 where built.. one for a chap in Framfield Sussex)....better than sex ..well nearly :D At least one red tractor in the world was awesome :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Did you drive the original red one then Barry I don't think Roger bought it as he wasn't involved in the testing for the 115 but another contractor with Dutra's did - Richard Place I think was his name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Jan 1987 was the year...Richard was the guys name who owned her or may have been Rick I will always remember it.. Dad was in the cab with me I expect Nige Ford will put me correct I am sure he said that two more were still running.. they made them as prototypes for the 115 didn't they ?

nashmach Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Sounds like it could be Richard Place then. A story for Rory perhaps? I believe he bought that prototype and one off the production line model. The prototype was the only one with the Pre Force bonnet mind This sounds very interesting and sorry for hijacking your thread miker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yes the prototype red one was a pre-Force, done to make it look like a Dutra from a distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick a Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Jan 1987 was the year...Richard was the guys name who owned her or may have been Rick I will always remember it.. Dad was in the cab with me I expect Nige Ford will put me correct I am sure he said that two more were still running.. they made them as prototypes for the 115 didn't they ? thats funny the red devil was a prototype in 1968 and subsequently went back to the factory and went back out to mr plaice in correct roadless livery. so it did not exist in 1987 unless it was a replica - soory for knowing the facts correctly.
