Joe90 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thinking of having a look to buy this, wondered if anyone knows of it or if someone on here built/painted it ? Thanks. I hope this is the right place to post this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailysleaze Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Looking at the ebay ad the numberplate says landroverman.com, so they might have refurbished it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Lots of cars in the background. Looks like a car dealer. edit. Just looked at the ad. Clearly a dealer. It strikes me as overly shiny, yet no pics of the engine bay or underneath/ chassis condition. Call me suspicious, but I'd be wary of it being a polished turd - unfortunately there are too many of those on the bay. If you're serious about it, ask for more photos and give it a thorough look over before you decide to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing, can't find a straight 300 csw anywhere,either a polished turd as you say or a complete neglected wreck, or thousands spent on bling but nowt on maintenance !

I know but, try finding a 300 110 csw with anything like, low mileage, or not rotten, or worn out, or nicked. or crashed, or bodged, or looks like a chicken coup after the fax has visited.

Pain in the arse looking ! I Don't know where you are in the country or how far you are willing to travel? Is it only a 300Tdi you are looking for? I have a1992 original 200Tdi 12 seater Csw, with a full Mot just finishing a body off rebuild. Not perfect but solid and clean with a few useful mods, up for sale shortly. Located South Wales, looking for about £7k if you are interested can send more details, photos etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaklander Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If that vehicle is as good underneath as it appears to be on the outside and inside and if £12K sounds, to you, like a good starting point for negotiation, then can't you go and have a look? If 12K is out of budget then don't bother. I've seen a lot worse for not a lot less ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could just have gone to them for a set of plates and bingo it looks like it was built by a proffessional! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Landroverman.com is way down in Somerset, near Taunton, the ad is up in Milton Keynes, so I would say at least that dealer hadn't done that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, but I live on the Isle of Man, each viewing is a 12 hour-24 hr run £200-£500 on the ferry plus fuel, plus would obviously need a ferry ticket in addition to fetch it home. Just wanted someone to have a quick look in Milton Keynes but no takers on another site/face book. Love the Island but what a ball ache finding one of these fellas has become ! £12k is in budget if it isn't a polished turd as another member coined it ! ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will send you a pm over the next couple of days with a list of what has been done and photos to show the condition, If there are any particular parts you would like photos of it is not a problem. As I said it is clean and solid I was re-building it for my own use but situations change unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yostumpy Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 does it have to be 12 seater, IIRC there are certain ISSUES with 12 seaters,ie insurance, towing (tacho?), foreign travel, and entry into London (classed as a minibus) , But I may be wrong.

TBH they are all getting on a bit now and most will have been through a variety of hands, some sympathetic, some most definitely not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162500317808 Have you looked at TD5? What about this for £11,500? If genuine (don't pay a deposit online or over the phone) it looks like a good deal. TD5's being newer are easier to find in good condition.

Lightning Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262917927840 This looks good at under £11,000. Again, always check that it's genuine when on Ebay. But it's a dealer so you could call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
