RichardJW1 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Just thought I'd pop these up on the forum. They're old scans taken way back.......I had a Kodak 277x that took those square pics and the film had to be rolled back inside the spool and taken to Boots.....sorry some pics are a bit 'cut-off' So to start with we have this 'V' plate 780DT, the pic I am sure was taken around June '79. The contractor had been to rotavate over some steep ground [we only had a 165 & Dexta back then] and sow grass-seeds after a crop of stubble turnips. We were trying to re-instate pasture ground that had burnt off during the drought of '76. The iron on the front was for a dozer blade for clearing rough patches of gorse etc. I have to say I really have a soft-spot for these 880/5DTs, they have a real purposeful look about them. This one belongs to the same fella who had the 780DT. Its an 'X' plate with the narrow cab. Pic I think must have been taken around Autumn '83??? Then some pics taken around at different shows during '83? when they moved to the supercomfort-wide models - pure porn!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Nice pictures there Have to say I agree with you there, I used to drive a later 110-90 and loved it, great puller and just something about the way they look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Great pictures. I don't think I have ever seen a Fiat in the flesh, but they sure look cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJW1 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Although not strictly complying to the title here's one more on the Fiat theme I found on the hard-drive. This 980DT was traded in '92 for a last-of-range new 956XL4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJW1 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 I believe it may have been, although as I remember it came off a dairy farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
