Andy Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 As mentioned in another post, managed to pick this set up last week. The box is quite poor and we are currently trying to repair it. 146F, Contains 2 x DDN's, Log Trailer, Tipper Trailer, Rolls, Plough, Timber Trailer, 2 x Drivers and a pair of discs The set can contain 2 x E27N's as it was a transition set from set 134F Regardless of the condition of the box, we are still chuffed to bits with the find and its a relief to avoid paying "vectis / ebay" type prices for it!

THEBRITFARMER Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 That is a very nice set Andy one that I have never seen before. Even with box as it is it still must be worth a bob or two. HEY Fordimore want to lift that for me :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Nice find Andy, whats an approx value of the set?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Mint and Boxed, you would struggle to pick it up from ebay / vectis for less than a grand. I think one sold in a restored box for ?1100 late last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 And the rest Andy, I saw one sell in front of me to a mate who has been mentioned on here who paid just short of 5K :o Have the Fordsons been resprayed or touched up Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Fordsons are original but, I have replaced the ones that I had in the set originally. Didnt realise people were prepared to pay quite that much! I wont say how much I paid then in the fear of giving your mate a heart attack! Deary me!

Deere-est Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Wow what a find Andy, thats something special. ?1000 you say? Jesus. Those people who tell me to invest in property need to have a rethink along these lines me thinks. Nice set, don't know anything about this old stuff so it's nice to see and read some stuff on it now and again Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
