Goodhead Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 can any one explain wht the county 1884 blue edition is like rocking horse s**t to find. i dont think i ever seen one for sale. I guess thats why many are conversions from the ford 8730. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I think it was something to do with the fact Britains had a Ford TW35 out in the market so wouldnt be viable to introduce a model that was basically the same, just different name and decals.

NIGEL FORD Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 One of the first conversions Brian Norman did commercially was a blue COUNTY 1884, the parts were made by SCALEdown founder Brian Parks. I can't remember how many were done, but maybe only 50-100? They were on lgp tyres, or at least mine is. They were based on the Britains TW 25 at the time they were readily available as a current production. I'd almost forgotten about that!... it's been over 6yrs since I last set eyes on mine.
