This machine looked and sounded very well!
YA
Who's driving , i seem to remember having to sit in the middle to drive it, maybe he just has a long arm
They were hot, dusty, bouncy, noisy, under powered and engineered. I think the Mk2 was better but I did not drive one properly. The latter did have a tendency to jump out of low range on overrun down hill. I think a 6 cyl version was experimented with, my then boss even supplied and engine out of an MF combine.Had a Mk1 with MF35 steering box without power steering, horrible thing to drive.
This Trantor is at Biddenden Tractorfest https://www.tractorfest.co.uk/ this weekend.
I asked the owner if he had been to the seaside with it recently, & he added that he got a speeding ticket on the way into Worthing on the day you took the photo @Young Apprentice !
I mentioned this thread, hopefully he will be along for a look later & here is a bump back to the top to help him find it.
