has decided to call it a day after half a century.
Colin, 66, is now turning his attention to his longheld ambition to own a vintage car. He's picked a Model T Ford and he is only the third owner of the vehicle that started its working life trundling across fields for an Argentinian fanner.

Colin says: "I have for many years had this ambition to own a vintage car and luck came my way on retiring, selling my lorry and hearing of the T for sale."
