A 2003 registered Fiat 110-90, dressed in blue livery, attracted serious attention at a recent auction in Cork, selling for €46,500 (no VAT). Being one of the last 110-90s off the production line, this two-owner, sought-after example had just 5,223 hours and was sold to a Co Kildare collector, where it’s understood it will go into storage.

The 110-90 was produced in the blue Ford New Holland livery in the latter years of production, following Fiat’s 80% acquisition of Ford. Both brands later merged to form New Holland and so the Fiat terracotta livery was soon phased out. Production of the 90 series spanned from 1986 until 2003. Under the bonnet of the 110-90 tractor is a 5.9l six-cylinder Fiat engine, producing 110hp.

However, not many of these tractors remained standard, given the engine’s suitability for turbo treatment. It’s believed that in 2003 a new 110-90 would have set you back in the region of €40,000 plus VAT.

The 110-90 was part of a clearance machinery auction of tractors, machinery and equipment hosted by Michael Doyle Auctioneers on behalf of the representatives of the late Anthony Doolan, Castlefreke, Co Cork, last week, on 14 May.
