The National Vintage Tractor & Engine Club (NVTEC)

was formed in October 1967 as the Fordson Vintage Owners Club.

There were originally 6 members, but as they say. from acorns Oak trees

grow.

It was soon realised that the scope of the club was becoming too great to hold to

the name of the Fordson Vintage Owners Club.

In April 1969 the club became The National Vintage Tractor Club.

The first 'Vaporiser' newsletter was issued on a monthly basis in January 1969.

1970 saw the formation of the first area group in Northumberland, and soon

after groups were formed in The Midlands, West Midlands and Notts and Lincs.

This was the beginning of a more rapid growth of the Club.

The club progressed through the early seventies and the newsletter style Vaporiser

became a printed quarterly journal changing its name to Vaporising.

In 1977 the current club logo was designed and the Title National Vintage

Tractor & Engine Club adopted.

Today the club distributes some 5400 magazines quarterly to our membership.

We aim to provide a focus for people with a common interest in rescuing, repairing,

restoring and exhibiting or even just watching tractors & engines in action.

Local group meetings are a place where those with a shared interest can get together

once a month. There you can get the latest news on forthcoming events and rallies.

Some problems are too big for any group to handle. Changes in legislation, Health

and Safety requirements,

European directives, are all negotiated by the National Executive

so that individual enthusiasts can enjoy their hobby with the minimum of interference.
