Please remember that this one is still Locked for Frontman, but the other two answers are incorrect anyway.

So, Frontman, the Lock remains for a further 48 hours.

It's a new one to me. I thought the R4 came first, and indeed I thought the puzzle image was a Siam di Tella!

The Ferguson R3 was definitely before the R4, and was proposed as a three-door estate (looking a little like a contemporary Hillman Husky) as well as the Pick-Up featured here. I will try and find more photos of both shortly.

Based on what I found, there were five of these prototypes. In order, they were: 'The Crab' (R1?), R2, R3, R4 and R5. Does anyone have images of the others?

Yes, there were a number of earlier Ferguson prototypes as you say. A very good Ferguson book was released a few months ago which (from memory as I've not bought the book as yet) includes images of most of the prototypes, so once I've got a copy, I will scan the others in.
