TE20 GFU 550 early photo and ourchase invoice

In a nutshell, I have a photograph, taken circa 1954, of a ‘Grey Fergie’ with its then owner in our backyard. We live in what was previously a Victorian smallholding in northern Lincolnshire. As well as details about the former owner and his family, I also have a copy of the sales information for when it was sold on by Briggs & Holmes, Chartered Auctioneers, Brigg for £82.10s.0d (buyer unknown) 1st October 1959. The tractor’s registration is GFU 550. From the information I’ve been able to glean online, it appears that it was first registered 1/1/50 in Maidstone and has had a total of nine keepers in 74 years. A V5C was issued 1/8/24 and so it must still be around. I’m assuming that the present owner would be interested in having a copy of the photograph and information about the tractor’s early history, which I would be happy to provide.
