Morris. Pete Jones who manufactures them is a grand bloke, farmer and contractor as well as fabricator. Excellent crush, very well made. When I bought this one we deliberated over self locking yokes and decided against… no regrets. No cattle now either 🤔

Drove past local Land Rover dealer this morning….. talk about shiny paint, lot was full of what seemed to be 72/73 reg motors…. Quite a sight, if you are determined to inflict a LR product on yourself….. now might be the time !

Sainsbury’s Ludlow today , hard to believe the trade is as hot as it is when the supermarket has this on the shelf.
