Corgi Massey Ferguson 165 value?

[Robert in NY]

What is a Corgi 66 Massey Ferguson 165 worth? It is in mint condition with box. I found it today at a small local auction and I am trying to find out its value so I don't over pay for it.

To start with there are at least 2 variations that I know about and I am sure that someone will be along shortly to say there are more than that.

The standard model has a silver seat and steering wheel, there is another rarer version with a red seat and a black plastic steering wheel

I have both. The standard model make £10-15 but the red seat version can make £25 - 30 on a good day, more if they are boxed.

to start with they are mf 65's mike, not 165's :laugh: :laugh: , which version do you have ?? the loader version or non loader version?? seen a non loader one at toytrac for arround 50 unboxed mind , few on ebay at present,although be ware as ebay prices can vary hugely compaired to auction house prices

Sorry [ Serves me right for not reading the post properly. I had the 165 version as a child but it is now sadly long gone, wish I had still got it but that is another story.

They do come up on ebay regularly but prices are up and down at the moment, a good boxed 165 might make £50 on a good day but I wouldn't hold your breath. Like Sean says, there are different variations with or without loaders or other attachments.

Standard model, with box £70 and no bids

I still think £50 is the top line for this model at the moment

Here is the one I'm looking at

[Robert in NY]

Ended up buying it for $50, was a little higher then I wanted to spend but I wasn't able to go and had my father bidding on it (he went over my limit). So now I am not familiar with Corgi models but since I have an excellent 165 I would like to get an implement to display with it. Over here in the US there are not very many Corgi models so I imagine I will be looking world wide. Can you guys help me with some more information please? If so, are all the Corgi models the same scale roughly? What implements are there available that you guys would feel would match up well with the 165. Around here the MF 165 was used on dairy farms mainly as the big tractor and did the tillage work as well as baling and chopping but as the farms grew bigger the 165 became basically a chore tractor, pulling wagons, running a rotary cutter and other small chores. I never have owned a real 165 but had its little brother the 135 and used it a lot for mowing fields.

I will try to get a better picture of it and post if you guys want. Thanks again.

Here are some more pics, the box had a small sticker on it at one time and isn't mint but is clean and in nice shape still.

Robert, there were quite a few implements/accessories for the 165, red plough with yellow plasic bodies, a trailed disc harrow with lever that lifted the discs, a 4 wheeled trailer with 'turntable' front axle on wire drawbar, a beast carrier which is a yellow trailer with drop-down rear ramp and green plastic/rubbery net cover for the top of the trailer and you could mix and match their other implements. There were several variants of the 165, one with front loader and scoop, (they never did one with the dung fork) one with an operating side mounted shape-saw and the tractor on it's own was also included in some of the farm sets.
