County 1474

[REStracTORATION]

A huge amount of people will go out and spend 120k plus on a new 4x4 or more and happily lose money over fist.

The new buyer of the County might not give a damn about resale value, is every purchase you make dependent on what its worth in 5 years time?

We all earn money to spend it on what we want. Good luck to him. I'm just jealous I don't have 200k of disposable income

I'm looking at minting up a 1884 for myself
Because its what I do - I do it,
The amount of folk that slander me is tiring for having the skills

I don't go out drinking or fancy holidays
I work 80-100 hrs a week and think of ways to get things I want from something I don't want

He's just guna leave it out on the slurry stirrer an maybe abit of scraping out

I know one man that runs a straw chopper on a County, and it is a dairy farm for cow cubicles bedding

I hope it's not the 1884 you mentioned in a previous post.

I noticed a neighbour has an early M3 BMW dressed
in some sort of rally colours .Must be worth a bob or two?

Worth a lot if it's a genuine Prodrive M3:

i thought the 8830 ford dual power spanish import, with lots of work done seems very good value, sold for £25,000 and the very clean ford 6610 super q cab, with just over 2,000 odd hours, new tyres front weights and air conditioning seemed another very good buy at £25,000

Perhaps the buyer just wanted it not looking at it in a financial sense.
People buy new motor homes at over a £100k but in ten year time they
will have lost most of the value.

Most motor homes are bought to use as part of a lifestyle. What can the County be used for?

looking at
I must admit, my escort has served that préposé here for some years, in between the seasons being put to use

Going by the excitement on here and elsewhere private
viewings at £10 a time.
A mate of mine sells motorhomes he doesn't use one himself
but he does have classic tractors.

Same thing as a £200k Fendt.

Would you put a driver on it that you don't like?

well it was a stupid post as it won’t do half the work of a 200k fendt (or any other current brand)

It would be interesting to see the County drag a Vaderstad 720 around all by itself, while the operator sits in sublime air-conditioned, air-cushioned comfort whilst shopping for Farrow & Ball paints and granite worktops for his new kitchen on his iPad

don’t know about BM’s.
Mk1 and 2 escorts are insane now.
My bro builds avengers for about a fifth of the cost

Got one in the back of my shed 1989

There was a video on YouTube a guy with a road going rs500 Sierra and a proper track rs 500 too in his double garage, seems a shamed them locked away but as above what else you gonna do with them, everyone’s to scared to use em!

humans are strange creatures find something rare and hide it away?

200k tractor comment made me giggle really no comparison, most people would not give 10k for the old Ford but I suppose there has to be 2 fools who wanna lock it in a shed for it to make 200k

Using them in anger does come with some risks.
This is one of my bro’s avengers last December. It wasn’t very well when it came to rest

Do you try to source genuine parts, do you make a part if you can't find one?
Cannot believe people slander you!

 

[puntabrava]

The two bidders were in from the start, no one else came in, the underbidder looked like a Scottish laird full wool suit and trilby hat with his son? the winning bidder looked like he was an irish man, he also paid 40k for the 1164, maybe he was also the seller, who knows?

Was an Irish tractor dealer Mcmurray.

Yes original is always best
But against a deadline genuine parts can't always be found....
Yes I make quite alot of bits to a copy of an original I'll try anything to keep a job moving forward as long as I'm happy with it I'll keep it on if it looks naff I remove it

Hardest thing is know what every clip bolt type abd fastner is called they all have their own name
So when you find out you don't forget it
