ronnie_rotten Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Could I get people's opinions on what this might be worth? I'm considering sone sort of swap/trade with my 02 110. Recon 2.5 NA, recon box, galv bulkhead and supposedly solid chassis. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 What do you want to use it for?? Does it have a current MoT certificate?? If not, it could turn into a horrible money-sink. Also, how old is it? Some SIII are tax-exempt, later ones are not. This can make a *big* difference to their value. Either way, it'll never be fast quiet or fuel-efficient [You say 2.5NA - is that petrol or diesel ??? If petrol expect around 14-18MPG if you drive it 'Spiritedly' so you're not acting as a rolling-roadblock on typical UK roads. If diesel life will be even slower, more frustrating.... and the fuel-economy not much better!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Depends entirely on condition, if it really does have a galv bulkhead and solid chassis and the rest is non-manky then you're on a reasonable footing, if it's MOT'd and drives OK then it's likely £1500 wouldn't be wasted on it, but they are (by modern standards) hard work to drive and the ambulance-ness gives it limited appeal. You've got drum brakes all round, a slow noisy engine, no power steering, uncomfortable suspension, a 4-speed box that's hard to find a decent overdrive for these days, and likely very basic interior with vinyl seats. If it's what you want (for example, as a camper base vehicle) then great, if not then there's little point. I'd take it over a VW camper any day though... A decent '02 110 would be worth lots more than it. We looked at an SIIa ambulance before we bought our 127 Ambulance, the conclusion being there'd be a hell of a lot of mods to make a Series tolerable for normal people for long journeys.

tacr2man Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 If you put a V8 in it, ala stage 1 V8 , changed the diffs , parabolics on the front , with a front disc brake conversion , wouldnt be all that far of 110 performance , with about the same fuel consumption as the hard working 2.5 petrol, and with a n/a diesel slow aint the word !
