1920 Garrett 4CD Showmans Tractor 4nhp Double crank compound  'The Leader'

1920 Garrett 4CD Showmans tractor. Works No. 33987. Reg no. BJ 5597. 4nhp. Double crank compound. Two speed. 'The Leader' This beautifully presented small showmans engine started life as a standard 4CD tractor. The original buff log book indicates that the first registered keeper was William John Cooper of Liskeard, Cornwall. It would appear that the engine spent its entire working life with this owner, before passing to James and Crockerell Ltd of Durrington, Salisbury in 1951. James and Cockerell were prominent in the early days of steam preservation also owning the Burrell Scenic Showmans 'The Prince of Wales' at this time. In November 1957 the engine passed to Robert Bailey of Amesbury, Wilts and it is around this time that the engine was converted to full showmans specification. The Garrett became a familiar sight on the rally fields passing through a series of well known preservationists including Peter Barlow of Retford, R. Baxter of Eye, Peterborough, Phil Ives of Olney, Bucks and Anthony Wootton of Wolverhampton before passing to the current owners. The Garrett underwent major boiler work in 2014 and is now in superb condition and beautifully presented. V5 available
The 10 year hydraulic test has just been completed and the engine comes with a current boiler certificate.
New asking price of £170,000
