colin Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 some tidy stuff there, can remember a farm near us ran renaults when they first did the 145's and i think they had a 106 to later on, came from a dealer baout 10 miles away from them, they even had a nectus one,the gold edition you dont see many of them gold renaults or white 103s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 i have a feeling it may have been the one in ct mag a while back to, supplied by thorndon tractors in suffolk, not sure how many made it over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 yeah i saw that on in the mag i only ever saw 1 white 103 in armagh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The white 103's / 106's were the Tracfor variants [think I've had this conversation somewhere before] and soon had the white scheme dropped so that it wasn't obvious they were a cheap and cheerful version. The Nectra version of the larger ones [120 & 155 from memory] was a top spec LTD edition and they seem to be like hen's teeth now.... I've only ever seen 3 in the flesh [2 x 155s & a 120] and I worked for Renault! If I can track down my old Britains 155 [which I left on the window sil of the office where I used to work ] I will convert it into a Nectra version... Any more info on the original home of your 106 Colin... would love to know why it looks familliar \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 They're a rare machine, a farm I worked on as a lad waited for a late one to come along for ages and it never did. A farm I do a bit of work for now do have one, bloody tidy on but still not as tidy as yours. That's a treat to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
