A significant auction of tractors and other equipment took place on Saturday, November 23, in West Row, Suffolk (England).
The sale involved the so-called ‘Cooper Collection’; it included over 30 classic/collectible tractors, as well as commercial vehicles and other lots. In particular, there were clusters of especially eye-catching Ford, County and Roadless tractors.
The sale was conducted by Cheffins.
