[TR] Tractor anyone?

[Peter Caldwell]

I looked at it, then looked it up in Wikipedia. The serial number is 
TE28288 stamped on a plate on the "dash".  It is a Standard engine. 
It has a Lucas starter.. bullet nose but 6 Volt. Up draft carb.

Unfortunately, I can't see myself buying it. I have stuff to get rid 
of. Anyone want an Austin Champ?

If someone is somewhat serious, I will take pictures, etc. It's being 
sold by a friend of mine.

Here's the CL listing. Price VERY negotiable.
