Hi Trevor had a TM yes on a v plate. Rusty old thing. Dad said in 1977 he had one on demo from greenhouses Shrewsbury had Detroit in it they hired a trailer from cadwalladers for it. Think he was gutted never bought him that. He got a 6 wheeler B Series ERF instead

Wayne those detroits did sound sweet !! and from your neck of the woods Hills Pontesbury had one . Trevor .

I think he, or one of his family wanted to buy another of Ivor’s Foden’s off him, but Ivor decided to keep the other two for the time being.
Cheers Dave.
