Good plan there Jan, like the sound of that . Keep eye out for an old Britains FMV log trailer, pop wheels off and give it a spray with a bit of Satin black spray and she's spot on for a Botex trailer to go along with a County with Igland winch and blade, heres one i did to go with the 1174 Edited April 30, 2020 by Valley Axe Man 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to resort to a total scratch build! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I have a memory of talking to someone on the Range Rover stand at the World Ploughing Match in Rosegarland in 1981 Today I was doing a big tidy out and I found this brochure that I got on the day, with the price written on it. I now remember that's what I was talking to the guy about. For reference, you could buy a nice 4 bed house for that money in 1981. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
