The MB on the front of the tractor stands for Mike Bigland.
Bigland (Preparations) Ltd., and the development of RNLI launching tractors (lifeboatenthusiasts.com)

There's a real 70s Ford look about them, front also looks very Granada.
Door handles look BL, maybe Marina but too short I think.

Headlamps were Opel Rekord D, made of unobtanium now!

aha! The Linton Flyer.

In my school days, there were school buses bringing students in from the surrounding mining villages, one of the smallest of which was Linton. Most of them were ancient retired double-deck fare stage buses but the Linton bus was just such an elderly Bedford coach - with a little four-cylinder petrol engine as I recall*.
Once a school trip was organized which required all the school buses. The little Linton coach proved faster than all the ancient double-deckers, overtaking all of them down the Great North Road (eventually).

Thereafter it was known to all as the Linton Flyer.


One of the double-deckers was registered RTC 700. I wanted that plate even when I was still pedalling a pushbike!

*Edit, or did it have the same 6 cylinder one as the Green Goddesses?

That's where all my supply of Reliant parts have disappeared to...



My 1969 Regal 3/30, work-in-progress the last 29 years. It was on the road - back in June 1992 - other distractions have hampered progress over the years.

What a fantastic post, me and father have just sat and read through, looked at, and drooled over, some of the vehicles. Dads, memory went back years with some of the cars and vans in particular. He had very fond memories over the Bedford Bus same as his old school bus. Being to young I haven't got any thing old or rare. My first car was a old beat up land rover 90 defender that was an experience,


had a short spell with a slammed VW polo,

a lot of fun with my Nissan 350,

and now run a Merc. Ive just remembered I do have a CJ5 Jeep project ongoing.

Have had a few tractors bought refreshed, restored and sold but nothing old and rare apart from the 920 John Deere here’s a snippet,

 

[jordhandson]

I did a nice rubber bumper change on a mates MGB but cant really call them old or rare. here's a before and after pic



here's some of fathers Ransomes MG6 crawler pics saying that the twin ploughs are rare together now,

Mansley Cultivators are quite rare I picked up 4 in parts and made there good ones

and even rarer is the Ransomes Howard rotavator, dad said like hens teeth. Lol.

Hope this is fall into the posting catagory lol

Imagine the corrosion

No need to imagine just book a weeks holiday there and you can just sit with a beer or glass of wine and just watch it rust away.

Nice. looks like my old 1960's Willys Jeep ? Do you have the four cylinder, or were lucky to get the V-6 engine in it ?

 

[stevethegrease]

Not rare, absolutely unique. The Costin AutoV ( auto five) Currently resident in Wales. I helped tow boxes of it back to Wales from Brackley some years back, before it was restored . Older picture shows Frank Costin driving. Auto Union 3 cyl 2 stroke, goes like stink, weighs nothing. Fibreglass , wood laminate and magnesium.

Any relation to Mike Costin (Cosworth) I wonder?

 

[Bobupndown]

Far from unusual but getting old now, 58 years young to be precise. My 850 Morris Mini Minor.
