A local restored 87 year old Austin 10 / Ten - Four Saloon Car in black coachwork with green details, registration no: VJ 5308, Chassis no: G 16398, Engine no: 1G 16659. She was first registered on the 1st June 1933 having had three owners in the same family since. She is understood to have been purchased by a Mr. David Arthur Jones of Ewyas Harold who left the vehicle to his niece's husband who had the vehicle restored in 1992 in readiness for his niece's daughter's wedding at Ewyas Harold church. The comprehensive works were carried out with a total disregard for cost, there being paid invoices on file that appear to total £10,338.04 with 763.5 labour hours referred to. The restoration; as would be anticipated, was a thorough body-off project, the invoices and a good number of colour photographs evidencing sand-blasting, engine work including new pistons, upholstery and trim restoration, bright-work, paint-work, etc., The owner sadly passed away some years ago and the vehicle passed to his wife, who has also now sadly left this life. Fascinatingly, with the car is a "Royal Air Force - Not Transferable Certificate No. 2609", stating that "The Undermentioned Mechanical Transport Vehicle is being used for duties essential to the Royal Air Force and is not to be requisitioned by any other Service or Department for other purposes". This bears a stamp of the "Observer Corps Western Region H.Q." and is signed by the Director of Equipment C.C. Ibbetson. There is a V5C present, also an old brown log book showing that she was taxed from 1962 to 1965 as well as several old tax disks including 1946 to 1952, 1963, 1965, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Other items present include an Austin Ten Drivers' Club members list (1994), an Available Austins parts catalogue (Apr. 1991), a Practical Motorist magazine dated March 1980 with an article: "Cars worth keeping - Austin 10", and a "The Times 1931 Cars of Today" annual publication with "96 Complete Reviews" the road tests within making extremely interesting reading. The Austin has never been left out and has started promptly every day to be moved in and out of the sale-room. She does not have a current M.O.T. and is exempt from such testing but old M.O.T. certificates dating from 1965, 1992 (2079 mls), 1993 (2132 mls) and 1994 (2176 mls); all carried out in Ewyas Harold show that there has only been very light usage and the odometer currently shows only 2184.6 miles. Once the vehicle's classification is changed to "Historic" road taxing will be required but will be free of charge under current legislation. The car has been laid up for several years but now; with a new 6 volt battery, she drives very nicely and; as she was not taxed or road insured, we trailered her to a local country residence where the long, sweeping driveway provided the atmospheric back-drop for the video that can be viewed on-line by those with an interest. Here arises the opportunity to purchase a much loved, character motor car with virtually everything done, which will keep up with modern day traffic being able to cruise comfortably at around 40 m.p.h. and with the welcome safety of four-wheel braking. ***N.B. THE BUYER'S PREMIUM ON THIS LOT WILL BE 10% + V.A.T. (TOTAL 12%). If purchased via the-saleroom.com an additional 5% + V.A.T. will be added (18% TOTAL)***
A nicely presented International McCormick Farmall F.F. Cub 1,000 cc. petrol-engined farm tractor Registration No: 594 YUE (Non-Transferable number), Chassis No. 706570, believed to have been manufactured at Saint-Dizier, France in 1956. This tractor was imported from France by a farmer from near Whitchurch, Shropshire and was purchased by the present owner in 2012 when it bore the French registration no: 1757187. It was first registered in the U.K. with an age-related number on the 11/01/2013. These popular and; although weighing in at under a tonne, capable little tractors were originally produced in the U.S.A. and many were exported to France until around 1955 when production there was commenced. There are attached the remains of a French label: "Comptoir Agricole du Limousin", and the tractor has been restored over many years by its local owner. The tractor has a 6 volt electrical system with road lighting, there is a self-starter and it is accordingly easy to start and with its three-speed plus reverse gearbox is highly manoeuvrable and the visibility from the off-set driver's seat is astonishingly good. There is a power take-off shaft but no hydraulic lift system for implements is installed, instead there is a substantial hand-lever lift mechanism with a large assister spring to ease the handling of either mid or rear-mounted implements. The V5C registration document is present as well as a National Vintage Tractor & Engine Club Certificate of Age and several photographs taken prior to commencement of the renovation work. ***N.B. THE BUYER'S PREMIUM ON THIS LOT WILL BE 10% + V.A.T. (TOTAL 12%). If purchased via the-saleroom.com an additional 5% + V.A.T. will be added (18% TOTAL)***
An Allis Chalmers model W.C. petrol/T.V.O. engined Row-Crop Farm Tractor Serial No. WC 127547 indicating a war-time build date of 1943 and the work carried out by this tractor certainly must have assisted with the war effort. It is highly likely that this is one of the many Allis Chalmers tractors that were re-assembled at Bacton Station yard in the Golden Valley only about 3 miles from the sale-room. They were crated from the U.S.A. into the ports of South Wales, then transported by rail, the branch into the Golden Valley commencing at Pontrilas station. Provenance: We are currently uncertain of the identity of the original owner but it is known that this tractor was owned by the late Mr. Smith of Cwmyoy; who owned a hill farm in the lower Llanthony valley, both he and his late wife were very loyal customers of our firm and entrusted us to sell their property when they retired and moved into Ewyas Harold. We understand that one of their sons; with a keen interest in farming, has in the last few days mentioned that the tractor was the first tractor in the Llanthony valley after the war in 1947. These tractors have a 201 cubic inch (3.3 litre) capacity, four-cylinder engine with a low 4.2:1 compression ratio ensuring that they would run on the variable quality fuel that was available at the time, they were long-lived being low-revving producing their rated horsepower (25.45) at only 1300 R.P.M. In the rigorous 1938 Nebraska test (No.303), such a tractor produced an impressive draw-bar pull of 1385 Kg. The tractor is running on new tyres all round with 12.4" x 28" rears and on the narrow front are a pair of 6.00" x 16", the turning circle is surprisingly tight; having a radius of only 8 feet, so these machines were capable of turning out at the end of a bout and turning in to the next bout without coming to rest. There are also independent hand-lever operated brakes (working very well) further enhancing the manoeuvring abilities, these having a novel, but simple, cam system on each lever providing parking braking. The tractor is fitted with a Lucas magneto with an impulse drive making starting with the starting handle relatively easy and quite safe from kick-back. A dynamo is fitted for tensioning the fan belt, an ammeter features on a small panel under the steering column but no battery is currently installed, however it would appear relatively straight-forward to up-grade what is present including fitting a self-starter, the bell-housing having a recess for such and the flywheel having a starter-ring. ***N.B.

A 1963 Nuffield 4/60 Diesel engined 55 h.p. farm tractor registration no. GCG 357, fitted with a Boughton Winch with ground anchor - serial no. 7079 having had a new winch cable recently fitted at a cost in the region of £300. This tractor was apparently supplied by the agents Wallis & Steevens Limited of Basingstoke; a firm renowned also for their manufacture of steam engines, being sold to the original owners - Laverstoke Estates Ltd of Hampshire and was first registered on 28/05/1963. Records show that the winch was apparently sold by T.T. Boughton & Sons Ltd to Anna Valley Tractors Ltd on the 20th January, 1959. The tractor is known to have migrated to the Isle of Sheppey from where the present owner purchased the machine; which had been standing unused for some years, to add to his collection of Nuffields. Recommissioning and considerable restoration works were carried out and; with the assistance of Hampshire County Council's archivist, sufficient evidence was produced in order to obtain its original number which was re-registered on 11/11/2004. The chassis number is 60B/1995/38364, there is a safety cab with recent new canopy and weld-mesh to the rear to guard against a possible winch cable breakage, also a front weight is fitted. She has a new fan-belt, working horn, road lighting and a rear work-light. New 16" front wheel rims and new tyres are fitted all round, the rears being 12.4" x 36". These five forward gears and reverse gear tractors also having a differential lock were often favoured due to their good turn of speed for road work. The V5C document is present as well as various correspondence regarding retaining the registration number and an owner's manual. An extremely useful machine, starting on the button and capable; with the winch fitted, of well-exceeding the tractive force of one (or possibly more than one) of today's massive, complex modern tractors, some costing well over £200,000. The tractor has a single clutch ideal for winch-tractor use, where quick control response is a great benefit. An illustrated Driver's Handbook is to be sold with the tractor. ***N.B. - THE BUYER'S PREMIUM ON THIS LOT WILL BE 10% + V.A.T.
