[QUOTE="old vin ag, post: 388375, member: 5425"] No is the answer to your question. Rough time line of events are Up to 1969/70 A C Bamlett were owned by the Oliver Rix Group M D Changes from W J (bill)Lupton to G H Evans.(ex Western mac & equip co). 1970 company sold for £1 to G H Evans, name changed to Bamlett Farm Machinery ltd. Foundry and manufacture of machines begin to end. Work force reduced From 140 (approx)to 20. Import of TIVE drills and pneumatic fert spreaders begin. Partnership agreement (50/50) with Bamfords to make yard scraper at Mold factory. Some equipment also made by Russell's of Kirkbymoorside. Late 71 company approached by W Fabian (MR SAME) Wilkinson and signed up by SAME of Italy to import and market S A M E tractors in the U K. 1972 all products connected to W J Lupton were transferred back to his company Econoheat of Ripon, where he continued with the LUPAT brand name .
