Got one of these 100th anniversary Britain's Fordsons today.

Also bought a new bottle of superglue 🤣

It's a nice little tractor despite the detached parts - simple to fix back on - I haven't glued the driver back on though.   Want to find something to tow behind it if i can.  

Just a question - is this and the 1940s original the only model of the E27N in this scale (besides kits which I'm sure exist)?

White metal copies of the Britains original are out there too, either as kits or complete and painted, as seen on ebay. Don't recall any other 1/32 examples.

Kits by Scaledown and Browns Models 

I think Britains missed a trick here and could have added old style linkage, our loss

A New Line from 1/5/48, the rubber tyred version was 6d dearer at 5/- !

Thank you for the reply; I have also seen a lower bonnet version of it with a Henry Ford figure sitting on it, do you know much about that one?

Don't know what you mean by lower bonnet but there was the William Britain Collection Major 8715 (later 08715) from 1997-98?  Henry Ford is waving his hat. Comes with a wooden plinth and white metal supports (to hold it in position)

That was the one I meant, yes - did I mean to say lower clearance? The bonnet doesn't seem to be as high as the 100th anniversary model.

Megs models did a P6 engined version about 20 years ago.The late Dennis Goodburn did several conversions based on our SCALEdown kits inc V8 4wd versions.

Try swapping the wheels over.  Grey with white rims and white with black rims😉

I am sure the white one would look better with the black wheels but don't think the grey one would look good with white wheels.
