History of tractor:
In September 1919, in the first production year of the first Fiat tractor, two Fiat tractors did participate a ploughing competition down in Lincolnshire. Among 33 competitors, Fiat did take the first and second place in the competition. The success of this competition did result in several tractor sales. W. Dennis and sons from Lincolnshire did purchase 19 units Fiat 702 to work on his farms. It is not clear if chassis 700098 was one of the winners, or one of the new tractors delivered to that farm. From early 1919 till mid-1920, about 1100 units of 702 have been produced by Fiat. UK was a major purchaser of that particular tractor, because of its powerful ploughing capacities. After the second world war, the family Norman Vince and sons purchased the tractor to add to their huge tractor collection. A part of the collection has been sold by Cheffins on 15th of October 1994. A Fiat collector bought the tractor. The tractor has been stripped completely, and is rebuild as new. It is hard to find a Fiat 702 in a better condition than this one and he is the third oldest survivor in the world.( see register Fiat 702) Because of the “museum quality” of the tractor, and to avoid any damage, the tractor has only be used as a static unit on shows, not for land work jobs. The engine is running, the clutch and gearbox is in good working order. We deliver with the tractor : parts list, maintenance and repair manual, in Italian. Also registration documents.
