    The long awaited King Size Matchbox with box. Not super expensive but not free. The trailer is a Whitlock trailer according to my source. Ah it says it on the underside of the trailer, that is a good source.
    Fordson was the name given Ford Tractors built in England until after 1964 when they were just Ford tractors as in the Ford Motor Company.
    This model the K-11 was made from 1963-1969. It would have been in a windowless box until 1968. In 1969 the boxes had a plain blue background inside placing this firmly at 1968. Firmly that is unless they had not used up all the boxes made for 1968 which happened. But it is supposed to be a 1968 box so close enough. Not quite like buying a real new car sold as 2020 when it is actually left over from 2019.
    The Whitlock trailer has the simulated hydraulic lift which is nice as it holds it up in any position. Next weeks model is older and lacks this feature.
    Plenty to see this week so stay tuned and everyone post your items!

      Work has meant I am late to MMM but I am not disappointed.
      This looks better than the day a Fordson rolled out of it's factory, and I have stopped worrying about the veracity of your sources now you have proven this one is good.
