Deere-est Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 She looks like she is used as well which makes it an even nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other green Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Great find. If you do get to drive 'er there will be rays of envy floating towards you from 4000 miles away, I always fancied a go in one of those. It would be great to see a nice hand-built model of one. Somehow they seem to get overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 would have to agree, would like one on my shelf or better still working round woodside Now, according to Lloyd Loaders, who own Muirhill, they don't, they were adamant that they had the model aspect covered and to a very high standard. I did ask them where we could get models of them if that were the case, and heard nothing back from them... And I don't think that's because UH are about to release a version either!! Most odd, maybe I'll write to them again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non turbo'd Ford 380 engine. Where did your dad work with the 121? There weren't that many of them in Sussex. I used to go down to Gloucester to pick them up from the factory. One I picked up was needed so desperately that the paint was barely dry on it, and it had the wrong wheels on it. They were brought up some time later. For the first few months it had grey wheels, although I'm not so sure they were on it until it was traded back in. I think I have a picture of it somewhere.
