Each Old Sodbury's Sortout event has its own distinctive character  yet they all have features in common.

If you like tinkering with Vintage Agricultural Machinery or Land Rovers of any sort you will know that at the end of any restoration or modification there are  ALWAYS bits left over.  Old Sodbury’s Sortouts are where you can buy or sell these bits knowing you are dealing with fellow enthusiasts. 

 By offering locations around the country  you should find at least one of the Sortout’s venues to suit you. 

 Yet by locating them next to an event with a National or International reputation it makes it possible   visiting BOTH  the Sortout and the Show. with one journey.
Where the Sortout is alongside a major show it will attracts even  more Trade Sellers than you used to find in a stand alone Old Sodbury’s Sortout.  This gives Buyers a wider choice  from brand new  components to taken off items that need work before fitting.

 

        Tractor World  provide  additional Venue for

Old Sodbury’s  Vintage Agricultural Sortout in 2012

4th March Three Counties Showground Malvern Worcs,

Tractor World has  built a reputation as the first National  Tractor Show of the year and the place to display restorations completed over the winter.  The tractors on display provide a demonstration of the standards that can be achieved after a painstaking restoration. As such they can be quite a contrast to the hard worked state many tractor were in during their working life! With the majority of the Show undercover   apart from the Sortout and the Auction visitors know it is  well worth coming whatever the weather forecast..

 Old Sodbury's Sortout  will help visitors to find those elusive bits needed to complete their restorations. Equally it allows Sellers to offer all those bits left over and cluttering up the workshop. 

The big advantage of heaving an Old Sodbury’s Sortout as part of  major show  like this is that if Buyers cannot find what they are looking for in the Sortout then there will be  plenty of trade stalls to try at the show as well.  If  there is any doubt whether a part is right for a particular tractor there is likely to be a suitable  exhibit on site for comparison.


For Sellers the visitors to the Tractor World mean they can be assured of  plenty of visitors will be looking round the stalls. What is more they know enough about tractor restoration to appreciate the true worth of items on offer even if theyhappen to be rusty, damaged, or unserviceable. 


The specialist  Land Rover Sortout is alongside the famous Beaulieu Autojumble in the New Forest on Sunday May 20th. 2012   (Note this is the correct date but is a week later than the Autojumble date given in some publications) For more detail  visit  Beaulieu

July 29 brings a Vintage Sortout alongside the Show at Tortworth.  This a typical smaller and manageable steam rally. With a bit of everything most of the exhibits are interesting without being lost in vast numbers of similar exhibits.


 For each Sortout you have three option 

Option 1 Making a one day trip to the Sortout  and fitting in the other show in the same day. It makes for an interesting  but busy day but you get the maximum entertainment  for your fuel cost.

 Option 2  If you can spare the time for an  overnight  visit you can take in the show in more detail  and make a break of it. Trade sellers may prefer  booking a stall at the show to get two days full trading out of the trip,

Option 3 If you can take a longer break  Why not spend a few days in the area?  Depending on your interests you are bound to find some interesting places to visit nearby.  this year we have planned   most Sortouts to run  alongside another interesting event.

We have also got involved in rescuing some interesting films and transferring their contents on to DVDs   Dustbin Films
