That is not bicester heritage, there is no shed around the heritage site that looks remotely like that. There is nothing agricultural or involves tractors at that site.
It is another scam, I drive past bicester heritage every day.
Genuine sale the picture is from one of there HS2 depots not far from us.
By all accounts, hire company that got fed up not being paid by HS2,
Now there’s a surprise,
Yep HS2 bring down plenty of business in are region, the word on the street mainly Haulage Companies

Nephew had a stint 4yrs ago driving for an ag contractor, on BS2, they couldn't get the money out of the firm subbing the contractors in even then, when they were actively trying to spend as much money as possible as quickly as possible, to make the job uncancellable.

In my various dealings, I find that the govt is a brilliant payer, always within 7 days, either bank transfer or cheque. The people above with issues are those who are working as sub contractors, the main contractors will have been paid, but not passed the money on.
I have been waiting 8 yrs for govt to pay me

This auction is happening at bicester heritage site when it happens. Its advertised in the press as well. From what I'm hearing with cancellation of the northern part companies are offloading gear now to reduce inventory.

The govt still pays by cheque? Really?
