Hi Ed this is Michael Hart here and I live near the town of Newark wich is on the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire borders. I live 60 miles from Uttoxeter wich is known locally as Utcheter and is in dairy farming country. Wizzo(David Bate) seems to have disapeared from this site. I am a 74 years old agricultral engineer who has played with vintage tractors for over 50 years MJ
 
You might find this of interest. I have an Oliver 500 with this tag on it in place of the serial tag. They were actually based on the David Brown 850. There is a serial number stamped in the top of the frame rail. It's serial number 3. I've exchanged several emails with Peter Williams of David Brown Parts Ltd. I sent him this picture and his last response was the following: "It is certainly looking like your tractor is a prototype from the experimental department!". This might be quite a piece of history.
