stuntman Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hello everyone, Well in my haste I've bought 2 series 3's. Both without MOT and needing some work, I'm not wanting to be stupid with the prices hat I will ask for them, but can someone help me put a ball park figure together so I don't look stupid with my pricing. I'm trying to save as many old landies from farms, whilst using the money made to save for my first mortgage 1st, a red pick up in reasonable condtion, 2.25 petrol, in bright red (fairly recent paint job), it will have 12 months test, I belive it's a 74, good chassis with new rear half chasis, plus FWH. Paint condition is quit good, it will recieve a full service a set of all Terrains, new lights and lenses, new shocks and bushes where needed. 2nd, is again a 74, solid chassis, van in blue, with rebuilt low mileage diesel engine and fairly overdrive and FWH, dog gaurd. It is light blue, with faded paintwork and a few dents, I won't be restoring the paint as I like the look of it and it seems to add to the character, again it will have new tyres, shocks, bushes, lights. A full service and a MOT. Thanks for any responses in advance Andi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAS328 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 LWB/SWB Only as I'm looking for a 109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuntman Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Haha, I have a lwb safari that has been offered to me today, a barn fiend really (well laid up in a barn for a few years) It may end up in the for sale section after the swb's as it's not going anywhere so I have plenty of time to sort the swb's out and then sort the lwb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotal Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 A difficult market really to price at the moment. The top wack end of the market seems to be demanding galv chassis' under them and tax exempt status. Make sure the MOT's are from a big garage not a small back street garage as people have been checking on that due to little back street garages doing favours especially on this type of motor. Price really does depend on if you can get the right buyer. If they don't look like they'll need a lot of work in the future you are probably looking at up to a grand. Can't see it going much above that unless you are lucky. Did you manage to sort out the red ones identity? The previous owner seemed a little stuck without the VIN/Reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous owner seemed a little stuck without the VIN/Reg Currently awaiting a call from the nice man at the DVLA, I'm tring to sort it from the engine number, but if that doesn't work I have a rolling chassis with engine and a V5 that just needs some body work, it has a bulkhead etc, so I can retaing the Reg from the rolling chassis, as all I'll be doing is restoring it and breaking the red one for the parts. I know what you mean about the Mot's, I only ever use a specialist for the mot's, all my volvos go back to volvo the mot etc, my landrovers go to hunters in Derby.

sotal Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Sounds a good way to try from the engine number, fingers crossed it hasn't had an engine swap! Sounds like you have a good backup plan in place if all fails though. What were you hoping for price wise? I did think about doing a couple for profit - but the market has really taken a dive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuntman Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 plans are complete strip downs, repaint the red one, leave the blue one as is but t'cut and clean, repair, repaint chassis, new suspensions, new exhausts, rebuild both engines, new brakes on both, full fluid changes, new lights, new tyres, tarted up engines (cleaned and painted up) I'd like to think if I sort it out properly there would be no work to do for a long time, so I'd be hoping for £900-£1500 each for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
