Books by Michael Thorne

Michael Thorne, founder of the Coldridge Collection, which houses a host of examples of Ferguson and Massey Ferguson tractors. turns his attention to the outstandingly successful and well-loved 100 Series of tractors, of which the 135 and 165 were the best sellers, with half a million and 98,000 built respectively.

Telling one man's story of half a lifetime of rescuing half-dead tractors and collecting live ones, this book, written in an informal style, should capture the attention of anyone who cares about vintage tractors.

One of the world's best-loved farm tractors, the Ferguson T20 was built in huge numbers across the world. This book charts its development and evolution, including the US- and French-built models, special purpose versions and industrial types. It includes many facts and photographs, and information on tractor options and accessories.
