It’s not every day you see a classic machine sold at Ritchie Bros. auctions, and it is often surprising where the buyers come from. Before the lockdown, in our 11th February 2020 Maltby auction, we sold a Guy Pioneer Big J6 Mixer concrete truck (Lot 41) to classic plant restoration specialist Johnny Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
His friend had seen the lot on a Facebook video<\/a> with our Sales Director Rupert Craven<\/a> and journalist Peter Haddock<\/a>, alerting Johnny to its sale. Johnny proceeded to come to the auction and was a successful bidder on the machine. Peter Haddock was also at the event, and he interviewed Johnny to hear about his plans for its restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can hear what he had to say in the video below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
