Expensive 90 or what?

How much dya think they want for a 1985 90?

£1000, £2000, £3000, £4000 .... not half way there yet


1985/C Land Rover Defender 90 V8 County Station Wagon F on eBay, also, Land Rover Range Rover, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 09-Feb-09 13:54:38 GMT)

i think their wantin that much cause of the brown carpet,

well you are getting a practically new car, but i'd rather have a practically new car than that!

What sort of retard would spend 19 grand doing up an old ninety ffs?

Why didn't they just lit the bits that haven't been replaced in the last couple of years, looks like it would be quicker.

How did they spend 19k? You can build about 4 for that.

If it's had that much changed, shouldn't it be on a Q plate?

You all seem to be missing the point.

It's a 1985 V8 therefore it is eligible for export to the USA. The Septics will pay top dollar for it but will only buy top quality examples. and they prefer V8's. However it has to be std to get through US import regs. So it would be interesting to see wether it sells or not and if so then to whom.

Not if they've replaced like for like with OEM or Original Landrover parts.

Good point pikey didn't think of that. He's still on a big loser though and it still looks daft in this country at that price.

At todays exchange rate it works out to $17,400 approx Last year Mint condition B Reg 110's were fetching upto $20,000

So it's a bit of a bargain really Especially as the septics prefer the 90's as well.

pikey, can the yanks only import certain age vehicles then?

25year age limit on all imported vehicles, Seems democracy and freedom of choice doesn't extend to trade items.

so if they want to buy a classic now, they are down to a C reg over last years B reg?

genius. I suppose they have rivet counters as much as we do.

They can buy older than 25 years but not younger..


Unless they can be made to meet strict emissions & noise regulations.

ow...

...how odd!

Suppose it stops the US Car & car parts industry having any competition.

I hope you aint infering that the Americans are conducting an anti-competition policy?

Well as they import 80% more than they export. I suppose they need to try something.


Bit of a losing battle really just a matter of time before they become another chinese possession..

I think the reason they import so many is, that way they have some vehicles which can go round a corner without having ear deafening tyre squeal.

There's an Esprit owner I know who has vowed she's not going back home to the states to live (visit is different) for a couple of years at least, that way when she returns she can take her commemorative edition car with her.
