After spending some time with Tanya and Dave Steele, who live in Market Drayton, Shropshire, there’s no denying the fact that they’re dedicated Ford and Fordson fans. “It all started with my father,” Tanya explained. “He’s been collecting Ford and Fordson tractors for many years.”
Shropshire is a county that’s well known for both its agriculture and its tractors. I bumped into dad and daughter at Tern Valley Vintage Machinery Trust Ltd’s rally last August, at which the family was exhibiting a couple of blue machines from the collection and, due to time constraints, we decided to do the article there and then.
“I learned to drive the New Performance Super Major before I learned to drive a car, so Ford and Fordson is in my blood”
They’re in the blood!
“We’ve lived in Shropshire for many years,” said Tanya, who works as a telemarketing manager. “I learned to drive the New Performance Super Major before I learned to drive a car, so Ford and Fordson is in my blood.”
Tanya can still recall sitting with her father, Dave, on the tractor
