Good, old and (mostly) British

Restoration, fixing and maintaining my fleet and other note-worthy incidents!

I never knew that..

I was informed by a member of the Club Triumph Forum where this blog is now featured that I should really be restoring a Ferguson tractor, as that has some association with the Standard Triumph company. I am struggling to find any reference of this fact, but I have found out about another thing that was mentioned. That David Brown and Aston Martin were infact the same thing.

David Brown bought Aston Martin in 1947 and the DB in the famous series of cars DB1-DB7 in fact stands for David Brown. So when (if ever) I drive my tractor, I will not be driving an Aston Martin, it's the Aston Martin owners that are in fact driving a David Brown, and priviledged they are to do so!!!!

I'm sure many of you already knew this, but I didn't and finding out has made me a little chuffed...

Of course, I would dearly like a Fergueson 20 but this tractor kind of chose me and beggers can't be choosers.
