You should put them inside, it make all the difference we're considering going two high on racking ...............
The corrugated iron is worth more than what's in the shed.
 
I always wonder at the family in that Co-op funeralcare ad, they all groan and make "faces" when he tells them "one day all this will yours" don't they realise that traction engine is probably worth £100 grand.
no probably not lots of people do not realise the value of old stuff/vintage items,shame but thats the modern way,sad really as its our heritage,to me to go to a vintage show and see all the steam engines lined up is a tremendous sight

I wouldn't worry... as soon as the word 'inheritance' is mentioned, family know how much old machinery is worth VERY quickly.

Looking at the results of latest cheffin vintage sale the doe dual drive fetched just under 70,000 pounds plus comission, according to the information with it it said over 40,000 pounds had been spent on restoration, i saw an unrestored doe tiple d sold at the same auction some ten or more years ago make i think 67000 pounds, the point im trying to make its very dangerous thinking vintage tractors make good investments?
Dangerous indeed, them with the interest and the money are getting old very old not much yooof in to them.

I can see your points but consider the other view. Twenty years ago someone offered them a grand for it. Ten years ago ten grand, today thirty plus? Now why should they sell as that beats money in the bank. I have my old collection of cars that were just scrappers in the seventies when I stored them, now they have kept up with the values of land even with some ups and downs and a couple are really increasing weekly, I don't lift a finger but someone wants them and the value increases, one day I will sell but until then I will gamble that they will keep increasing as if they don't I've only lost a few quid on them.
not if they are lying outside
