From restorations to recollections and also hundreds of readers free-ads there’s something for everyone here Featuring models, articles and news to interest all collectors, owners and enthusiasts, each issue is packed with restorations and recollections as well as readers free-ads there’s something for everyone.

SALES CORNER • In this issue we look at everything that happened at the massive Cheffins Vintage Collective Sale in April, regarding the Ferguson and Massey Ferguson entry. The market is holding up very well, but we have seen a slight drop in Ferguson Brown A prices, which has continued as the season has progressed. You also need the right Massey Ferguson 1200 to obtain the high prices vendors expect these days; punters are not stupid and will not pay such prices for half restored, tired and worn out examples
