Bob, I think your photos are of two different tractors; the first, third and fourth pics are of the same one, but although the second pic shows a vehicle with the same foot scraper and downward-leaning horn trumpet, I think it has been converted from a Type R saloon rather than a chummy... I wonder whether it shows the fate of Mr Trickle's beloved car!

Phillip Merrills, a SWA7C member had one based on a "Mag Enginned" car, this also used two three speed gear boxes in tandem and had solid rear wheels of about 30inch diameter. A couple of years ago, a new SWA7C member, Tom Thomas, recognised photos of the tractor as one that he and his brother had built from a Chummy in the late fourties for use on their father's small holding. Then Covid came along before Phil and Tom could attend a Club Meeting, and sadly they both passed away before they could meet up.

P&A Woods (the Rolls Royce specialists) have one with tracks if I recall. I have a picture somewhere taken at a show.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!

Oooooh.
I feel an article in the Grey Mag would be of interest so I’m fishing for authors. Anyone take the bait?

That grey one looks to be a very professional effort.
