Interesting debate been raised on FB about Vintage World Style. Jim Cochrane is a formidable collector of ag lit who has posted lots of Fiskars and Ransomes sales literature. The debate naturally followed on to allowing some of these Fiskars and exotic Ransomes bodies to plough in the Classic Class. Many of us have strong feelings toward protecting this class from such encroachment but nonetheless would not wish people to be excluded. The Classic Class over the European movement is in chaos with all but England allowing these much bigger Semi-Digger ploughs to compete alongside TCN’s and RWM’s. Should World Style bodies / work come to the fore in the Classic Class, then both these bodies would be sidelined, as they were in the late 60’s / early 70’s.
Vintage World Style is long overdue and would give people, some currently excluded, a chance to plough ‘on terms’ within like for like classes. As ever, getting it accepted is a different ball game, more often than not the powermongers not overly keen to promote ideas not of their own origination.
