It was something over 12 months old when the uncle bought it. It was a demo tractor for Massey for a bit and the man who had it on demo liked it that much he bought it. My uncle got to know him well about 15 years ago and he said he always regretted selling it. He bought a Leyland instead and reckoned it wasn't half as good. Whenever the two would meet yer man always asked if the 168 was still here and how was it going. He always planned on calling over this way to see it but unfortunately he died of cancer before that happened. The log book has 1974 as the year of reg for the old lady.
I was looking at the docket and saw they weren't an MF dealer and was thinking it was traded in, what price would she have been new, about another 100 or 200. I bought a 168 a few years ago for 3000 euro from my uncle. I didn't need it but bought it because I knew it and would be a shame to see it exported.
