My first new puzzle for a short while, so for a point, please identify the make, plus the model name and nick name of this vehicle.

Yes, it is a Ferguson, so now Locked to FrontMan to correctly identify the model designation.

No, not an R2. The Lock remains for another try.

Getting much closer, and the car was also commonly known by its 'nick name' so the Lock remains for another attempt.

Three days on, the Lock will be lifted at 24:00 GMT tonight, and then open to all again for the correct model designation and nickname.

No direct Rover co-operation, but it did use a lot of Rover inspiration.

I've now awarded a point to Frontman for correctly identifying that this is a Ferguson, but I'm now moving it up a level for the model designation and nickname to be provided to complete the puzzle.

That leaves R3F and R3G. I'll take R3F first.

Close with one of your guesses, but it's not R3F. Now Locked to you for the correct designation, but remember that I also need this vehicle's familiar nickname to earn the point too. Happy hunting...
