Tony B Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Land Rover prices are getting ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.303fan Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Gone are the days where one could buy a £150 left in a field crusty series 2. Parts are skyrocketing too, it used to be fun to go to a show with a boat trip from Holland and have a 109 tub full to drag home. Nice times me and my dad have had.

It was IIRC early months of 1993 Kinross Motor Auctions had lots of 101" , they were low mileage minta , rumour was they had been stored in a RAF hangar. Some with winch, all had front screens smashed - they had been dropped on tool brackets to double-deck on a transporter. Nobody quite knew what the price would be, the brave got in early when the hammer price was just £3000+ then they drifted up quite steeply IIRC by abt. another £1500. 1/4 century of £ inflation ? Solihull selling "REBORN" examples - £80,000++ , apparently some on a Q plate. Lightweights - may be tracking WW2 / Hotchkiss - to be expected. End of Defender production - buyers paying top $ + in franchise showrooms for the cleanest examples - dragging up trade & private sales. The S3 MOD fleet disposed of around Y2K by MVS (Lichfield) , I can only guestimate the quantity - abt. 8,000. Many exported , broken for spares, run as a cheap hack - you only see the odd collectors car on the road in summer, civvy S3 - I no longer see at all ! Probably more reasons for rising prices , that I can't think of just now - other than people wish to spanner something and actually be able to afford the fuel to run it - nothing modern is there - just a more complex Defender..
