CX820Joe Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Can anybody tell me which models of Ford Versatile were imported to the UK? I'm sure I've seen photos of the 846 and I think there were some pics on here somewhere of one the 9xxx types working in East England. I did see a 9682 for sale in CT a few months ago, that had been based in Lincolnshire, seller was looking for 35k, I wonder where it is now? If anyone knows where to find some photos of these monsters working in UK fields let me know Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Do prefer them if I'm being honest though Seen plenty of pix of them over here, if not in the flesh - only artic tractors I've ever seen are MF1200's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 We used to pass a farm near Shrivenham, Wilts. In a shed was a 9880 on big singles. Something I am gathering parts to make in 1/32 with the Ertl version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke DeWitt Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 FW's were Steigers weren't they? yup, they were just blue and white Panthers. Are there any TV 14X series bidirectionals floating around the UK? I was wondering how popular the 9030's were. We had two of them and they both caught fire. Some sort of wiring issue.
