Curiously enough, I picked up a handful of old motoring magazines
yesterday, because they all had Triumph articles or adverts in them.
In one, there was also a tongue-in-cheek, but very thorough, road test
of a Massey-Ferguson 35 (petrol model). See "Autocar" - Christmas
issue (December 21st), 1960, for full details.
"The sporting lines of the '35' are emphasised by the lack of
mudguarding... The cockpit is simply laid out, doors being dispensed
with, and footboards being provided for the driver's feet... When fitted
with the optional extras shown here [loader and trailer], the Massey-
Ferguson has limitations as a touring vehicle..."
