December-Month of Colour

Well here we are already, the last month of the year has crept up on us all of a sudden. I have always been intrigued as to the multitude of colours of tractors so to brighten up the dark days of December I have scoured my photo archives to see if I can find 30 different colours, shades and colour combinations of tractors to display each day this month.

Lets start of with a GOLD International BMD Super. Queen Elizabeth the Second became queen in 1952 but her coronation didn't take place until June 2nd 1953. In honour of that event International Harvester of Great Britain in their Doncaster factory painted 50 Super BMD Farmall tractors gold.
