Saturday (April 21) saw the latest Cambridge Vintage Sale auction take place at Cheffins Auctioneers’ sale grounds in Sutton, Cambridge (England).
These sales can attract a huge number of lots, including classic and vintage tractors and farm machinery, alongside all manner of other collectible items. They also attract Irish interest; some dealers and collectors journey across to these events.
Good weather on Saturday bolstered attendance; punters came from far and wide. Some were there to place serious bids; others were there to kick the proverbial tyres and to simply soak up the atmosphere.
On the day, there was a varied selection of tractors on offer – representing several decades of front-line farming. Some rare items had quite considerable ‘reserves’.
In this report, we focus on the red-liveried Ferguson and MF-derived tractor highlights.
