844john Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 It is an IMT Sean, we had one years ago now, a 540 deluxe (there was nothing at all deluxe about it!) which was based on a Massey 35 but with the same bonnet and cab as that one. If memory serves me the cab was made by Victor so I suppose that's where the similarity to the Leyland cab comes from. I think I'd be about seventeen at the time and just passed my test, so it sort of ended up as my transport for a while.....it was not cool......

I think it was a perkins made under licence in Yugoslavia, to be fair looking back mechanically it was a canny little tractor, but as for street cred for a seventeen year old, well........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended at £60ish. Said the reserve hadn't been met, so I messaged the seller asking them what the reserve was set at they said £125. And said these are one of a kind, as the 3050 only comes as a 2wd and they changed it to 4wd and added some extra detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point is Lee that the decals on the 40's and 50's are stickers rather than tampo printed (I had one or two in the early days without a sticker on), so you can easily take one off one piece and put it on another - no need for an axle swap (not saying thats what he has done). Other than that it looks like a standard issue model. These are well over priced for what they are in the first place, but adding that kind of money on for very little work is taking the mickey! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 So I asked what has been done to it and this was the reply: 'I swapped the bonnet an bored the hole for the breather an changed the axle all into the original 3050 chassis' Worth £100 more than what I would value the original......?

Stabliofarmer Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I've got my business model completely wrong! £260 is what I had charged to build this a few years ago To be fair this seller lists a similar build every couple of months, and prices generally average between £40-£100 so I wouldn't say it's being bid up, just two people that really want it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
