That landcrab might sell to someone on here if you post up some details.

[tooSavvy]

Sell each item 'by weight' [fill tank with water*]

Any mk1/2 transits in any state? Any that are saveable I would be interested. Anything that isn't I know a man who will buy them.

 

Otherwise a brief listing on here ought to get some stuff shifted. The large stuff like those Bedfords would probably go for export.

Old Glory magazine or vintage tractor and machinery I think offer free classified advertising and there are always wanted ads in them

[lesapandre]

Depending on the amount, type and age - you could get an auction house involved. Not one of the posh ones but a local general or agricultural auctioneer. Amazing what old agricultural kit, lorries and machinery goes for.

[lesapandre]

But that takes some time to set up. Otherwise the specialist mags for lorries, tractors etc.

Put some pics up on a few "barn find/abandoned cars" Facebook pages and they'll get some good coverage

Whether they turn into sales is another thing....

Chuck em all on ebay no reserve and hope you don't get too many arseholes. It should get a fair price for them all, but don't list as a job lot. List them all seperatly and anything that doesn't sell get the local scrappy in to clear.

thanks for the replies guys, gives me some starting points to look at

Any idea what the bikes and tractors are? Any of the transits V6s?

[dsp resto]

hi DodgeRover, I am down there tomorrow so i will take a look and let you know, i know some of the tractors are fordson dexta's i think, there is also a marshall, international and one under so many brambles i can only see the big rear wheels.

[SiC]

Build a list up first and then some pictures.

 

eBay should shift most or at least give an idea of prices. Given what classics go for nowadays, they all should fetch far more than scrap.

[Tamworthbay]

Fiat coupe looks intriguing.........

[DodgeRover]

Cheers my father had mentioned he was looking for a Dexta, if you've got a Field Marshall there they are worth big money in any state. That one in the photo is a TVO Fordson Major (I think)

[DodgyBastard]

I've no real interest in buying anything but I'd love to see more photos of the place.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

That Mk1 Landcrab looks mega!!

[Junkman]

The large stuff like those Bedfords would probably go for export.

Wrong century, m8. Them foreigners are leasing new Scanias now.

[Cavcraft]

An on-site auctioneer as Lesapandre suggested probably the best bet. They and you can advertise the sale, and people will be obliged to cough up, unlike eBay where no doubt someone's kids will have bid my mistake.

[Coprolalia]

Paging legasoil96.

Classic recovery services required.

Cheap fg potential.

 

Definitely one for you lads.

 

[lesapandre]

I'd use the classic vehicle magazines and papers and discuss with your local agricultural auctioneer first if not in a massive hurry. I'd use Ebay as a last resort - it will attract all kinds of characters not all genuine. Especially if the site does not have someone there 24/7.

[lesapandre]

Auctioneers will also be able to flog all the rest including the metal sheeting, machinery and even buildings if they are demountable.

Is that a bell sounding cable across the forecourt? Only place I know of one of them is a garage near Milborne Port in Dorset.

[lesapandre]

If you are able the auctioneers may be able to do press release that may get picked up by the agricultural press etc to further stoke interest. Amazing what a crowd an auction can attract - and a few buyers too if stuff is no reserve.

[dsp resto]

few more for you all, sorry you will have to stand on your head.

[DodgeRover]

I'll buy the Ossa and Honda TL125, any idea on a price? Will study photos more in a minute

And the early honda cub(s)

 

Is that a Simpson sat next to the Ossa?

 

Any other competition/ off road stuff?

 

I would tend to agree an on site auction may be the best way forwards. Is it pressing to get the site cleared?

[tooSavvy]

Anyone up for an 'inversion'.... Or tell him how to?

[Jerzy Woking]

I'd be interested in any of the two stroke mopeds/small motorbikes, and the W202 Merc estate (on steel wheels) could be of interest.

 

Amazing vehicles here.
