Title: Grass topper and scaffolding for sale
Post by: Tudful Tamworths on May 18, 2011, 11:24:18 am
We're having a clear-out, so the old man has posted a few things on eBay that we no longer use.
These include a 4ft topper (sold the tractor and use more of the land for pigs now, so not needed)

Also advertised is a job lot scaffolding

Oh, and there's also a Green Goddess fire engine (long story)!

Yes, that's the good news. Bad news is he's bought a diarrhoea-coloured Austin Champ military jeep! At least it's a bit smaller...

Yes, you're quite right Robert, it has a RR engine. Sad thing is, that magnificent piece of machinery hasn't turned over since he bought it! Delivered last week to a Champ expert north of Birmingham. That's all this bloke does. So hopefully it will be running soon (and costing a fortune in fuel, no doubt - but hopefully less than the 8 miles to the gallon that the GG does!).
