Saturday, August 18, saw the latest Cheffins Harrogate Vintage Sale (auction) take place at Great Yorkshire Showground.
The tractors on offer dated from the early 1930s through to classic models (from the 1980s and 1990s).
Bill King, chairman at Cheffins, explained: “The Harrogate sale has always been a key date in the vintage and classic calendar and attracts enthusiasts from all over Europe.
This report focuses on what we like to call the ‘best of the rest‘ from the sale; in accompanying articles we focus on other brands in isolation.
Tim Scrivener was there for AgriLand to sample the atmosphere, capture these pictures and to jot down the key prices. All the pictures in this report are from Saturday’s auction.
All (hammer) prices are subject to a ‘buyer’s premium’ (commission) of 5%.
