ruxy Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It is a xxKBxx Lightweight , photograph indicates all good , BUT the chassis would need a thorough examination . Details given , comparing to photograph - all good. Chassis depending - the Estimate sale price is ££ very low @ 2.1/2 to £3,000 + 6% * VAT BECAUSE this is not a dog , buy a dog and the heavy repairs and parts £cost such as a almost unobtainium vent-panel will rack the ££££ north. If the chassis needs changing - the estimate is still Fair - because the swop job would give a min. £8 to 10 K valuation. . The MOT history = very good , no advisories on chassis, however note my comment. Seems a genuine Ex- MVS minta that has been looked after by a enthusiast for the last 20 years , RARE.

Abt. £8000 for something still quite original and sound + a £valuation north of £10000 , a better proposition than buying a cheap wreck and throwing £££ at the project . They don't often come available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigduke6 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I bid £3500, but was a blind bid as couldn’t get there to view, missed out on one that had had the chassis and bulkhead done ( galvo) for £7000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snort Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The military Massey 35 tractor that was in really good nick made £13200 plus vat plus commission which is a lot of money, however although old it was little used. I had thought I would go to seven grand but I was a long way out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchlesswdg3 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I suspect the Lightweight will be back up for sale by a dealer at £12-14k after nothing more than a blow over with OD; but I HOPE it was bought by an enthusiast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 It is one thing using a MOT examiners 'approved' hammer , and sounding with a 1/4 lb ball pein. Of course this can only be done with owners permission & he is present - preferably he is doing the demonstration where you indicate. --KB-- chassis steel is not great , probably KA to KD is worst of all, I blame the bartering with Leyland by the Cloggies of cheap high scrap content Belgian steel that was difficult to unload.. British Steel workers went on strike over this abt. 1977 - they tried to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts also, possibly an appearance on eBay..... with a silly price tag. Ruxy, that’s Interesting about the steel, I know little about the Lightweight but have seen a lot which were rotten compared to other series LR’s. Reason I never went OTT with bid, also the fact I’ve just bought a Series 3 109 FFR....😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
