Interesting, my standard Dexta had a super Dexta Cowl and was called 'Red One' with all but the body panels red!

Matches the topper

As rare as those are they must be worth a fortune.

Hi
It looks to me like it has the fergie closed center rear wheels fitted as well. if my thinking is correct they came of the t20 with the continental engine.

early model at least .

It's a 1963 model,confirmed by the serial number and Oct. 63 stamped into the fuel pump housing facing the block.
I wonder why someone wanted it to look like a Fergie so badly?
The blue you can see is my "touching up" with a spray can,it was entirely red,stripped right down to the metal.

Come on guys, the previous owner probably had every intension to paint his dexta blue but did not get around to it.

SUNBURN.

Sunburn at this time of year....yeah right! I think that the reasons for odd coloured Fordsons may have more simple reasons. While we have here a red Dexta,and on Trade Me (#483359678) there is a red and black Major, but notice where they come from, Canterbury, do you think they might be provincial/Crusader colours??? Maybe a yellow and blue Dexta might have been owned by a Highlander/Otago supporter TSG.

Wait, mine is going to be GREEN and GOLD just to follow the theme.

And mine is going to be Ford Blue and Grey. I'm probably the only guy on here that doesn't like the Empire blue. Sorry.
