Frank Foot, of Micheldever near Winchester dismantled many Does to export the Majors. I have heard that he has at least one joining kit left in the yard.
Personally if I was spending £30 to £50 grand on a Doe for an investment the serial numbers on the tractors should almost match. In the restoration world now people are getting really canny about matching numbers. If you want top dollar for an early Land-Rover all the chassis, axle, engine, and gearbox numbers have got to tally.

Its a "Pseudoe" . George Prior would be spinning in his grave if he knew about that thing.

Did many many years with a tractor dealer as an apprentice removing front axles and 4WD slices from Plough Masters & Roadless Tractors converting them back to 2wd . Axles & slices to Cambridge made big money, tractors to Cypus & India after removing cabs, fitting shell fenders. Remember seeing a complete Doe turntable in the scrap field. 5000 's were exported by the 1000 back in the 70's-80's and 6600 later on.

Used to be a 130 Doe here. It got split into two tractors to enable the owner to sell it He says if you'd had anything to do with them commercialy, you wouldn't give them a second glance now.
The steering Rams are still here !!
Not too many miles away is another 130 just sat in a yard, been there 25yrs that I know of, still got the majority of the Fritzmeier cab on it, and baked been cans on the exhausts.
I do like how they were made for the 'heavy Essex clay'.....
Yet most of the preserved ones are now on the sand and gravel in Nottinghamshire.
Still, engineering at its best I suppose for the time.
