Lord Ferguson Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Just had a call from my local friendly MF dealer... I hear there is a new BFA MF390 (with a mower) coming out... with each MF dealer limited to 7 pieces per site I believe. Whilst I'm not a fan of the old BFA in general.. I've bagged myself one as an investment (The MF35 I bought in 08 is still in it's box in the loft, having never been opened) Just thought I'd give you the heads up anyway you lovely lovely people you * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Cheers Mark, Is there any images floating about as we are doing a BFA feature this coming MF issue. I'm not sure Andy... I'll ask for you on Monday... I didn't think to ask the timescale for delivery either... perhaps Bill can find out for us \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 More is the point Mark.... I haven't even heard about this on the grape vine > ...mind you I suppose I don't really keep up with the local MF dealers. Having said that the BFA society or supplier's should have let die hard BFA collectors know :of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I'm not sure Andy... I'll ask for you on Monday... I didn't think to ask the timescale for delivery either... perhaps Bill can find out for us \ Mark / Andy, A bit close to closing time on an adverse Friday night but I will be making a call tomorrow to the PostHorn in Castle Douglas or the owners in Inverurie ( Ian Sinclair) of Sinclair's and the local Massey Ferguson dealers Balgownie now somewhere in Inverurie.

BC Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Well I called The local Massey Ferguson dealer Balgownie at Inverurie and spoke to Gordon in the stores. He checked his email's and nothing on this but he said he would contact MF on Monday and to give him a call back late afternoon. Without having to ask he said he would easily reserve one for me 8) I will still give the Posthorn a call to see if they know anything about this. In addition I will drop an email to the Border Fine Arts Society of which I am a member but the earliest I will hear back will be Monday. Mark the chap was asking the name of your dealer in Cambridge I thought \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well I was kinda dubious after my Porsche GT3 wind up Mark ;) Anyway I called the local MF dealer at Inverurie this morning and he has 4 coming in. May be in before Xmas but may not. He has reserved two for two of their mechanics and one for me and will have one for stock. The cost is £ 162.

BC Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 My regular supplier the PostHorn came back with an email today.I',m not quite sure who they mean by the Massey Society ??? Hi I have spoken to Border and the Massey Society are getting a Massey 390 and Mower Studio Tractor A21281 RRP £190. We are unable to get our hands on one as they are all being send direct to the Massey Society. Sorry Heather I was sure the chap at the MF depot quoted me £ 162 but well time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Oh you could be right Mark.... I was off duty and at lunch when I posted that so wasn't thinking numbers. However when I come to buy it I will be saying to the storeman "but you said the price was £ 162" ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 MF dealer told me today the builitin says delivery coming shortly (posted it in another topic.. UH I think) .. Now sold out as well so MF say. I'm not sure what the Massey society is... unless it's an American club.. there are a fair few over there \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanMF Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I have found the requested photo. Robert told me that the photo was presented on the French forum. There is something wrong with the bonnet. The bonnet is too steep. Best regards Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorbob Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 bonnet does look steep..who can answer that question why ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That bonnet ruins a nice piece \ Will it be fixed on the others or not? If I were to guess I would suspect it is too late in the process to have them changed since well some deliveries are expected pre Christmas. bonnet does look steep..who can answer that question why ? Well I'm no Massey expert Rob and looking at a photo I have of a 390T it does in fact look a bit steep. I'm surprised since well Broder Fine Arts do not usually get things wrong... :of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That's a shame, although it does seemed to be emphasised more due to the BFA style. Otherwise, I do like that and think they have given it a great finish. I wonder if we will see any of the current Massey Range in BFA format in the near future?

Lord Ferguson Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Umm... what a shame... who let that one go.. and who at Massey approved it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I will certainly be following up with Border Fine Arts but I'll need to see the model in the flesh first not just on the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 looks to me like the front grill should be a tad higher.could be wrong Well having looked at both photos the top of the front lights are almost in line with the top of the bonnet side panels in the model whereas on the 390T the line of the side panels is almost in the middle of the lights. In addition the height between the top of the transfer and the bonnet is much lower on the model. Whatever has happened it does not replicate the real deal as well as it should assuming there is no difference in bonnets between a 390 and a 390T...I assume it is just a turbo ??? I have seen BFA get paint colours drastically wrong on two models but I was able to get them to repaint both. Cream wheel centres on the Leyland instead of silver and Gold coloured batteries on the Fergie Yellow belly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
