Anderzander Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Prices seem to be quite reasonable on nearly all I've seen ..... except this one !!? Why is this one listed on ebay for £20k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 A nice example - very early model, heater and indicators. Still needs a full restoration though. Definitely not worth £20K though, maybe £4-5000 I would have thought. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Nice to see one that has not been overly restored and which has the patina that only comes with age and use. Patina is lost when vehicles get stripped down and restored to new, or in some cases better than new condition. Untouched, original early models are becoming harder to find but I doubt it will realise that price. A seller can ask what price he wants - whether he gets it is another matter.

I agree, much nicer as is. There are enough imaculate over restored ones already. Looking at the housing area the owner has an over inflated view of collectors cars? Marc.

92.9 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 That looks great. I hope it doesn't get destroyed by over-restoration. I keep seeing outrageously overpriced Land Rovers. Some of the sellers seem to be hoping for an overseas buyer with more money than sense as they often mention that the car is suitable for export.

bill van snorkle Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 That's an awful lot of money, especially on a vehicle that has languished in Britain all those years and has had some welding done to possibly address a corrosion problem that may be more than just skin deep.
