FORGOTTEN NIPPY REAPPEARS • Seen just after the torn sheets were removed is 1926 Aveling & Porter 6 ton tractor No. 11705 Nippy before it was moved to Reeman Dansie’s sale building at Highwoods, Colchester, Essex. The engine was last rallied in the 1990s and looks to need a full rebuild and refresh in many ways. It went on to sell for an amazing £115,544 on Friday 11 November - see Market Place for more details.

CUGNOT’S FARDIER À VAPEUR STARS AT CAUSSADE • The first steam road vehicle in the world was created in 1770 by French army captain Nicolas Joseph Cugnot.

Having seen one of the two replicas in action at Locomotion Caussade over 22-23 October one can only be impressed with his amazing FIRST in the world says the editor.
