bobster20 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I have a Dennis Goodburn County 1884 Britains conversion purchased new a few years ago. I have recently been offered £80 for it. The guy that made the offer says that this is the most he can give as I do not have a box or certificate with the model (which is in excellent condition). However I never recieved a certificate with the conversion and the only box I had was a brown cardboard postage box in which was the tractor plus polystyrene. I did not keep this box as you had to take the cab off to put the model inside plus it was not a box dedicated for the model. Does anybody this is a good offer or not? Thanks.

05rich Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 have you any photos ? also you could ask the person you bought it off if you still know them, about the box and certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I may be wrong here but thought that these were by/for Brian Norman and did not come with a labeled box of any kind or certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster20 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 No photos to hand sorry. I bought it straight from Dennis Goodburn so would not be able not get a box or certificate unfortunately. But I am guessing that this was the case with all of his conversions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I also think it was built by Brian Norman. I know Dennis sold some of Brian's County's. I do not believe they came with a box or certificate but there are ways to identify the authenticity. I would have thought £80 was at the lower end of it's value but then again it's worth the amount someone is willing to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster20 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys. I am 90% sure that this was made/converted by Denis Goodburn. As far as I recall it was him that I spoke to over the phone to order the model after I read an article about him in Classic Tractor which showed the 1884. The article mentions him being friends with Brian Norman but makes out that Denis did the County 1884 in the article (which looks exactly the same as mine). Thanks.
