A PRIZED collection of more than 280 vintage and classic tractors, vehicles, implements and parts sold at auction on Friday, October 30 and on Saturday, October 31, reaped a good reward for the owner, Imbert May.
Imbert amassed the private collection over many years and a two-day dispersal sale of the entire collection was held near Pocombe Bridge, Exeter.
