BLOWN AWAY PRICES AT MALVERN TRACTOR WORLD |
Malvern received the usual amount of interest with people from all over the continent arriving to view and bid on the 1400 lots, which were on offer.
Friday was the first day of delivery and approximately half the entered lots had arrived by the end of the day included a good amount of literature and bygones, which were to be sold in the marquee. However that evening there were some heavy gusts of wind which unfortunately the marquee was blown over and destroyed. Thankfully not hurting anyone or causing too much damage.
In the morning Howard and staff had to rearrange the layout of the marquee lots and would like to thank everyone who helped at just a short notice period. Thanks also have to go to all the vendors who had to wait while the changes took place.
