Nuffield and Leyland Tractor Club

‘The Year of the Clubs’ – The friendly indoor show at the Three Counties Showground Malvern, Worcestershire.

The ‘Not to be Missed’ show of the year.

This years Tractor World Show was again very successful, the attendance was high and we were kept very busy answering questions, advising on restoration projects, taking membership subscriptions and generally helping club and non club members to get the best from the show.

One of the ‘Stars’ on the stand was this very rare Nuffield 126, pictured below. One of six IMT tractors imported into the UK in the late 1980′s and re-badged as Nuffield 126′s they were destined for Nigeria. The deal fell through and the tractors were disposed off for non agricultural use. This tractor worked in a quarry for many years and appeared at last years show in less than perfect condition. It has now been restored to as near new condition as possible by its current owner. 

This fully restored Nickerson Turfmaster, one of only 7 produced, is based on a Marshall 302, and was featured in a recent edition of ‘Vintage Tractor’ magazine. It is currently for sale.

Note the Leyland 4100 in the background, this tractor won the Nuffield and Leyland Tractor Club cup for the best Leyland in the show.
