Vintage Tractor Auction Triumph!

It was back to the 60's with a fabulous turnout at the Vintage Tractor Auction at Mayobridge, Newry. The vendor who recently lost his brother was offering the collection of prized assets on his late brothers behalf to the highest bidder and we are delighted to confirm they were all sold at an excellent financial return which was delightful as many of the attendees would have known the owner and been close family friends.

Group Auctioneer Drew McCarter stated 'it was fabulous to witness the turnout of buyers. In total over 500 turned out for the event with no online activity as the location didn't lend itself to the technology we normally use, that's how remote the public auction was! However it worked well as the farming community whom we at the City Auction Group value immensely bid passionately on this special occasion.

CEO Raymond Hill commented 'as a son and brother of the farming community I was delighted to be invited to auction this event. We have regular agricultural and vintage auctions both at our centres and at other locations at the request of vendors from the community. We have cutting edge technology if required and qualified auctioneers with decades of experience in this sector. I thoroughly enjoy this part of the business in fact it's where I cut my teeth in the auctioneering industry many years ago. With three centres ideally placed in Belfast, Omagh and Dublin we can offer our professional services across Ireland at anytime, any place. We aim to expand further in the coming months with some exciting development plans driven by our MD who wants to offer more assets and more vehicles to more people across the UK and Ireland initially'.
