What is that one cylinder, single front wheel mounted engined tractor?
Seems the driver should handle the machine standing up only? Does the gear change handle not get in the way for tight RH turns?
Amazing machine.

Hi
Opperman Motocart
http://www.vhgmc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Opperman-Motocart-IMGtruck062-1024x768.jpg
The driver stands directly behind the wheel and he told me that LH turns were most awkward for the gear change as it is then almost out of reach.
The engine on the one at the show was a J.A.P.

Hi
A real village horticultural and crafts show, with a bit of equestrian and a fun dog show, some displays in a showring (gundog retrieving, a Morris side, stunt cycles etc and then the car section thrown in for good measure.

Every August.

Great stuff, thanks for posting all the photos. Particularly like the Bedford lorry, the J-Type, and the early Spitfire.
