Rick Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Is there really a Britains anymore, or is just a RC2 box with a stamp?? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The trouble is that list wasn't supposed to be made public. They have always announced second half releases around Spring / Summer time anyway. I think Craig believes it enhances the item if its not announced at the start of the year. \ I also gave the biggest hint yet that this year would be a fightback from Britains with some "True British Classics" on the horizon. If you look at the list, I am sure most can determine what these may or might be. With regards to the County. There are significant differences between ours and theres. Concerning your last post Rick, I think 2009 was a poor year but hopefully this time in 2011, collectors will be able to answer the question differently.

BC Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well I have had Britains since childhood days and then started collecting them again around about 5 and a bit years ago when I started running out of space for my small vintage tractor collection. I'm going to stick with them and I have faith in them that better things are to come. The classics certainly appeal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffithsbros Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 No but then neither is the MF7480. thought it was a 7580 tris, because they are waiting for the release of the real machine before they release the model, are they not?

IH885XLMAN Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Right this is me just being a wee bit picky but International 956 xl isnt realy a "true brit classic" is it ? very nice all the same i would by a batch of them....But they where built in germany ...doesnt that make them a german classic,I know they sold allot in this country but if u think of a british classic car would you call a SAAB 900 a brit classic? wouldent true brit classic mean built in britain maybee doncaster/bradford meltham coventry bathgate scunthorpe if it was to be a true brit classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 wouldent true brit classic mean built in britain maybee doncaster/bradford meltham coventry bathgate scunthorpe if it was to be a true brit classic Not sure about Scunthorpe?

SMurF Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I wonder if the 956 will be a red and white or a red and black version as i see a realy nice one on the farm next door to me quite often and have yearned for a model of it's type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf aphid Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Do you not think it will be a revamped ertl one? (956) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Do you not think it will be a revamped ertl one? (956) i think it will be just in a different box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 i do not think they could afford to reuse the old 956 chassis to be honest ,good as it was at the time, they have moved on now, and need to keep pace with the rest, i would guess it will be a new chassis so it can have working steeing rear hitch(new one with luck) and extra detailing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 i think its very clever of britain/rc2 if they release a 956 , would be a better seller than the ford 5000 possibly. i hope it doesn't make my boxed 956 worth less value. could we see the return of a JD3350 in years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Not sure about Scunthorpe? I think I can count the tractors built in Scunthorpe on my fingers Didnt marshall tractors end up at scunthorpe in the late 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Very few were built after the move to Scunthorpe (after ownership was taken over by Theakstons, and later Bentall-Simplex). They were mainly assembled from parts they acquired with the Marshall business and had come from the previous (long standing) Marshall plant in Gainsborough. I would regard Scunthorpe as wholly insignificant as far as British tractor production is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
