Came across this on sunday did not realise how special it was till i looked it up on the web.
The Ivel number 131 is belived to be the oldest working tractor in the world. It was built in 1903 and called a Agricultural Motor as the word tractor was not used then. It was used as a works demonstration model after being exhibited at The Royal Show. Its owner is John Moffitt who must have spent a lot of time and effort on this machine, its a real gem.
