Can anyone confirm if the MF70 backhoe loader was available for sale in the UK ? Not really come across this model before and was available around 1970/1980 ?? Has anybody seen one in the UK before ? Await your confirmations !

Hi To the question about MF 70 Backhoe loaders, I am lead to believe 2 were sold in Britain. 1 is still about and in very good condition. It could be for sale to the right person.
