MJB1 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 What a shame that is... she needs cleaning up and putting in a museum... certainly a head turner fancy owning a proper modern factory built one off bit like the experiment 290T with the reversed engine (as in put in backwards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe as much as these smelly MF's are my least favourite brand this one looks great. I think a FTF commission would be great. I'm sure the near millionaire on here "Me Lordie" could fund the castings etc ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 What a shame that is... she needs cleaning up and putting in a museum... she needs a guy called mark to go and do a bit on her for classic massey, thats what she needs mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPS Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi all, The prototype machine is parked in the Engineering compound at the back of the factory in Beauvais, France and has been for many years. The armco barrier in the photo surrounds the bump track. I'm not sure what the future plans for it are. I too have some photos, if I can find them.
