Man buys 40-year-old tractor at auction for £215k
28.04.2022 - 16:57 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A Stockport business owner has splashed out almost £215,000 on a 40-year-old tractor in what auctioneers say could be a UK record for a modern classic machine.
The 1982 County 1474 “Short Nose” tractor would have cost around £20,000 when it was originally bought. Last week, the tractor was purchased at auction by 60-year-old Tom O’Connor, who grew up on a farm in Ireland and later became a collector.

The tractor was sold at the Cheffins sale ground at Sutton, near Ely in Cambridgeshire, last weekend. Its pre-auction estimate had been between £120,000 and £140,000.
Oliver Godfrey, head of the machinery department at Cheffins Auctioneers, said: “The market is alive and well, in fact it
