powerrabbit Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 For those interested there is an open day for the Coldridge Collection of Ferguson tractors at Mike Thorns Lower Park Farm, Coldridge near Crediton in Devon on 7th July. Mike as you may know has a very extensive and interesting collection of Fergy tractors and machinery in the collection and has recently been given a large amount of the Banner Lane collection to add to it on the closure of their museum in Coventry. At the open day there will be a lot of stalls offering mainly Ferguson related items including spare parts, salvaged, old and new and also printed stuff like hand books, literature etc. These open days, which happen around once a year is very interesting. The contact number for more details is 07966 328600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike has most, if not all, of our SCALEDown Fergies in the collection on display too, and probably some conversions on them done by Keith Ogbourne, like the half-track and arctic-survey TE20s.
