Best vintage sale of the year!
Posted by Chris Graham on 18th December 2021
Peter Love reports on what many regard as having been the best vintage sale of the year, held by HJ Pugh in Bristol, early last month.
Best vintage sale of the year: The line-up of Fordsons at the recent HJ Pugh & Co sale was superb; this Standard N water-washer model sold for £3,000.
HJ Pugh & Co. headed to Netherton Wood Farm, Nailsea, Bristol, on Saturday, 6th November, and organised what many regard as having been the best vintage sale of the year.
The owner was downsizing his lovely collection and the sale featured the best selection of vintage and veterans to be offered this year, with most running well. Not all of the tractors sold on the day, and some may still be available. Here’s my pick of the results:
