The Nuffield Tractor Story (Volume 2) - Nuffield and Leyland 1963-1982
In Volume One of "The Nuffield Tractor Story", Tony Clare covered developments up to 1967, including the powerful 10/60 model. In Volume Two, he continues with the evolution of the Mini tractor and the final Nuffield mid-range models, the 4/65 and 3/45. He also examines their transition into the first Leyland-branded tractors, the 384 and 344.
Through detailed research and extensive photographs, the book explores the challenges faced by this key part of the British tractor industry. It discusses the British Motor Corporation's later struggles and its government-backed merger with Leyland Vehicles.
Further advancements included the introduction of the '98' series engines, safety cabs, the 'Synchro' gearbox, and the 'Harvest Gold' range. The story concludes with British Leyland's decision to sell its tractor division in 1982.
