PHOTO - now THIS is a RARE tractor

Hi Gang;
This is the "only" example (?) of Fordson Dexta fitted with a gasoline engine in England. All the engines for Dextas & Super Dextas were diesel, manufactured by Perkins Engines, and supplied to Ford Motor Co (slight differences from engines used by MF etc).
All (not too many built) were exported to Scandinavia. One was retained in ENgland and used on the grass mowing duties around Ford Tractor training centre at Boreham House. It escaped into preservation a few years back. Ford retained it for years because the engine was quiet and wouldnt disturb the students in the class rooms.

Now my wife is moaning that I have to dip into the family savings jar to get some money out. No not for another tractor, but for gas & entry charge to a big tractor show to take some more photos for you guys.
What do you want to see? Green, red, orange, common makes or something different?
You can send answers on a used $20 note, send via Allans "mate" Akmed !!!
Actually I do sympathise with you Allan, last Christmas some "thing" from the swampy end of the gene pool hacked into my computor, and I got some very "interesting" photos. I am broad minded, but these photos shocked even me, and really upset HER INDOORS.
Cheers David
