The Aston Martin Tractor

I'm off down the lanes to the market with a Michelin starred chef and a beauty therapist when the cry goes out from chef...."A David Brown tractor!!"
Eh??? says me and the beauty therapist.
Aye says him, the guy who founded Aston Martin started out making tractors.... David Brown, you know, like DB7....DB? See?
Oh ...OK says me and the beauty therapist.
So we goes to the market and get a free range chicken, two John Dory and a gilt head bream and head back.
Right where's this tractor then? Righty-ho there's the fellow there.

Not much to look at but that's an Aston Martin sort of, in a round about "Who do You Think You Are" type manner.

Anyway, back in the UK I gets into Google for a rummage and indeed this was indeed linked to Aston Martin. Not only did I google I emailed the man from the David Brown Tractor Club. This is from the late 60's and was known as the bottle opener because of the stylised DB on the logo.

We only went out for a fish.
