RALLY REVIEW 2021

PART TWO

Excellent support

The Kent Summer Show was the replacement for the annual mid-July three-day Kent County Show and took place over July 10-11. The heritage section was well placed, mostly on hard standing at the top end of the site with the steam (large and small), commercial vehicles, buses and the many cars and vans. As for the tractors and stationary engines, they were on the grass area further down.

Steve Pike brought up the Muir Hill one ton dumper based on a Fordson Standard N to the show. His team had been rapidly rebuilding the dumper from a heap of scrap rust, having been buried in chalk for over 40 years. The mainframe was absolutely corroded but is looking good now after some new fabrication. There were to be several new restorations that people had undertaken during the lockdown, debuting in all classes. Rodney Gibson’s Ford and Fordson
