Maybe not as comfortable as modern stuff, but if it all functions ok, and you have a few odd jobs for it, what’s not to like.
Looks a useful machine.

What breed ?
No electronics to worry about, possibly plenty of old oil seals tho

I've got one of those which I would part with. Its an Aveling-Barford, built at Grantham. They are a great bit of machinery. We hardly use ours now, but I know the engine it will start straight up with minimal fuss (smokes a bit until it warms up), you need to be a bit careful not to push things over with it by mistake! Ours needs a few oil seals sorting, but they knew how to build things then.

Your better off giving in to temptation on a four wheel beauty than one with two legs. Your guaranteed to finish paying for the four wheels but will be paying forever if ever if you just take a test drive on a two legged temptation.
She may need a few oil seals but will alway be there in your hour of need.

Why would you leave the door open

It’s not been left open very long and although it doesn’t look it in the photo it is undercover.
