Among the tractors, a David Brown 50D tractor has an estimate of £22,000-£25,000; a rare David Brown DB4 crawler fitted with Bray front dozer, dating from 1941 is set to achieve between £5,000 and £7,000 and a 1942 Marshall Model M tractor, has an estimate of £15,000-£18,000.
Tom Godsmark, director at Cheffins said: “Rodney Thompson was a well-known restorer of classic and vintage vehicles, and this sale is a testament to some of the fantastic restoration projects he undertook during his many years of collecting.
“Having been in the motor industry all his life, during his later years, his passion became more focused on collecting and he amassed quite the eclectic mix over the course of over 40 years. The collection is being sold on behalf of the family and sees some very original examples, including a number of rare David Brown tractors, a particular favourite of Rodney’s, as they were some of the first tractors which were used on the family farm in Carnforth.”
