The last sale in July provided further evidence of CVA's consolidation. Volume has held steady at 450-500 lots with conversion rates of around 55%. A good number of Oaf CF85 6x2 tractors with 380 and 430 drivelines went under the hammer, and they came from a wide range of sources.
Despite Oaf's strong reputation Wright reports that demand for tractors has slowed, although multi-axle rigids are still popular: "We have been short of tasty eight-wheelers recently. We get mid-to-late 1990s examples that sell very well."
The 7.5-tonne tipper market is proving inconsistent, with solid performances at one sale followed
by a mediocre showing a fortnight later. Clean and tidy late-year 18-tanners continue to do well. "Recently a Scania 02 [18-tanner] got way over book money," Charlie Wright says, pointing out that there aren't many about.
The trailer market continues to be a goldmine with strong performances on the domestic and export markets.
For example, 1998-registered trailers with sliding roofs from leasing companies can fetch up to £5,000 compared with £3,500 six months ago.
Flatbeds, old curtainsiders and tipping trailers continue to do the business for export, although fridge trailers aren't as popular.
