It all happens on Saturday September 2 at Little Clanfield, Bampton, Oxfordshire OX18 2RZ, when Patrick Edwards Ltd puts his private collection of modern, vintage and classic machinery under the hammer, besides diggers/loaders, trailers, parts, collectables and so much more.
Patrick is so well-known to all of us and, just like he did ten years ago now, is to sell off some gems. HJ Pugh is the auctioneer and, as Howard Pugh says, this is a unique opportunity.
Just one of the highlights is a collection of concours Fordson Majors and Dextas that the Tractor Mart editor can vouch for. Here is a selection of what is going to be on offer - remembering all the stock is clean and very tidy indeed.
