    Varied vintage collection achieves high prices at Cheffins sale

    The Manor Park Farm Collection, owned by Peter and David Ingall, was offered to the market by Cheffins at a Lincolnshire sale with over 50 classic and vintage tractors, along with other historical vehicles.

    The top price of the day was £60,000 for a rare 1918 Latil lorry, which was originally used by the French military and was one of the first to be fitted with four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering.

    There was also strong interest in the well-maintained tractors at the sale. Bidding reached £50,000 for a 1995 Massey Ferguson 390T which had just 2,692 hours on the clock, while a similarly aged, low-houred Massey Ferguson 372 with a Trima loader achieved £34,000.

    A range of classic Ford tractors also sold well, with a 1988 Ford 7610 making £31,000 and a 1990 Ford 5610, with just 1,603 hours, reaching £27,000. There was also a selection of Fordson machines, including an E27N DG4 half-track, which made £10,000.

    Offered in excellent condition, with the decals still showing, a rare commemorative two-wheel drive Case 1594 was sold for £15,500.

    Bill King, chairman at Cheffins, said the sale was a great example of how modern classics continue to be in high demand. “The strong trade for classic tractors appears unabated with collectors prepared to pay premium prices for good low-hour examples in original condition. The selection on offer at Manor Park Farm highlights that superbly presented examples of popular models continue to do very well at auction.”

    Plant machinery was also available at the sale, including a Caterpillar D9G dozer, which made £31,000, and a Ruston Bucyrus RB22 ICD dragline which sold for £10,500. Two classic JCB loading shovels received good interest, with the JCB 112 making £14,000 and a JCB 114 finishing at £11,500.

    Bill concluded: “The quantity and quality of second-hand machinery coming to market continues to be strong and the auction calendar is filling up for the rest of the year with on-site, vintage and genuine farm dispersals. Vendors are seeking to maximise returns, while interest in well-maintained modern, classic and vintage machinery remains at an all-time high.”
