Interestingly a 1954 Marshall MP6 sold for over 80,000 pounds at this sale.

And this particular tractor spent time [attachment=31388]540x360.jpg[/attachment]in Tasmania before being repatriated to the UK.

I'm pretty sure it came from a property nearby and quite likely there are others still in Aus as most of these were exported including to Tasmania.

I think the treasure hunt will being in earnest now - to find any others that might be lurking in barns or under blackberries😊

Just thinking back to what I've owned and wrecked/sold for peanuts and which sold for heaps at this auction😞

And I'm now looking at the Super major sitting in the paddock with different eyes - I need to build a shed for it soon!!

Hopefully the proud new owners will share their new treasures with generations to come so the history will live on.

This photo was taken at the recent Mini Earthmoving Day held here.
Includes a Marshall tractor belongs to a neighbor.
I believe he has another.
