I liked the 1941 Fordson Major with the original 28 hp petrol/paraffin engine replaced with a Cummins V8

Apologies for the rubbish photos, I rarely take any, but had to get the D type, apparently genuine and not a repro

That's a Perkins V8 isn't it? If the badge on the front is anything to go by.

Just googled D Type values, that’s a £5-6m car

I was just waiting after ringing the door bell in a small London street, in the 70s, when one of the early ones went past at full chat, then had to stand on the brakes as the street was short. Lotta nice noise, completely anti-social

Thort those well thought out porkers were not favoured by the dyed-in-the-wool tail wagging fanatics?

According the very knowledgeable owner it’s the real thing.

It was at the monthly car club meet near Beaune today, about 100 cars, obviously mostly French though a decent turnout of British stuff, mainly Triumph and Jags. The D type and my Morgan were the only RHD cars there.

The club (AOC Beaune) owns the garage and site, and the committee guys dress up in 1950’s period uniform - the one dressed as a Gendarme plays the part well with his whistle and baton!

We have a good turnout out at St Savinien on the first Sunday of the month. I will see if I can runs some good pics from the next one. No ag stuff, just cars and bikes.
Some quite valuable cars turn up, but not quite in that catagory.
Most of the bikes are HDs or similar, can't raise too much interest in them. Recent and very chromy.

Going back to the 70s, the local bike fixer guy in East Dearham rode a shovel head HD, rusty as hell and about as old as he was . Did nice work on customer bikes. I drove a Greeves 250 for a couple of years to commute, but not really a biker. Still have a BMW K75 in the shed, but not likely to ever use it.
