Hi all,

Well my wife's Cavalier has finally come to the end of it's life and I am
going to give her my Disco.

So I am looking for a Land Rover Series 3 or 110, 109. It must have the
capability to have 12 seats, even if the back bench seats are missing. It
must have six forward facing seats (or if you have fitted the cubby in the
front, the seat must still be available for me to fit). It must have an MOT
(at least three months), not too bothered about tax. I am not worried if it
needs a little bit of work on the body (little bit of easy welding) or the
trim looks a little tired.

I would prefer a diesel (Would consider a normal petrol that has an unleaded
head but please no V8's), I am not worried if it is 20 years old 9or so) as
long as it goes and isn't a complete dog with more holes in the chassis than
a fishing net.

I have got hundreds to spend and not thousands.

Fianlly, it must be within 150 miles of Hartlepool (North East UK).

Anyone help please preferably within the next two weeks? Cash is waiting.

Andrew

P.S. Please mail me on andrew.at.preaching.co.uk. (Take out the two dots
around the at and stick the @ sign in, you know what I mean, I get sick of
spam.) Or post a reply here. I can come round straight away and see it.

Good luck, but I think you will be hard pushed given your budget.
That said, my 109 recently went for £900, but that was only a
two-seater hardtop.

Why do you discount the V8? A decent V8 will give fuel economy not
far removed from the 2.25 petrol, but substantially better
performance.

FWIW, if budget is tight I think the worst thing you can do is buy a
cheap Land Rover. They are usually the most expensive ones in the
long run. I have the bills to prove it....

Once again - good luck

After consulting with the boss I would consider a Series 3 SWB as long as it
has 6 seats, or a 90 (it could have seven seats and I would be happy).

I do not want another Disco though I have one and I love it.

I would consider a V8 as well. I am more than happy to tinker with an old
landrover myself so bills are less.

I already mentioned this but I think your best bet is a regular 3 door
110 with inward-facing bench seats in the back your budget is simply
too low for a 110 station wagon, and I'd look for a late series 3 too.

when I lived in your area there is a guy out at wingate I used to use,
he has alot of ex-military 109's (or he used to have).

if you really want forward facing seats you can fit them to a 3 door
109/110 but you'll not find them included in that kind of budget I
expect.

best of luck with your search though ;o)


Regards.
Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)

Agreed.

Current figures:
Series 2a SWB 2.25 petrol - 14.7 mpg
Range Rover 4.6 V8 petrol - 17 mpg

Yet I still go to work in the Series. WHY???

I don't know how easy it would be to persuade a Range Rover to take
the dicky seats out of a Disco, but Classic's seem to be just about
worthless these days. I reckon you'd find a decent late 80's Range
Rover for about a grand. Various bits would be rotten, but they are
reputedly no more difficult to fix than a Series.

Sorry, that should read "Classics seem to be just about worthless".

I thought seriously about a classic as there are a few with v8's
around here for £800-£1000, rusty but mot'd.

Cause you're a Land Rover Numpty!

If Your specification is vague or imprecise, you'll likely get what you
asked for not what you want


 
Food for thought on my web-site:-

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/williams73/LRHome.htm

I have a 109 3-door, with two rows of sideways facing seats in the back, giving me ten seats. Thing was bought for £250, but has cost me WHEY more than ten times that to make it serviceable!

We also have an 84 Rangie Classic, with a dickie seat in the boot. Paid £500 for that one, and about £150 for the dickie seat, and it was serviceable straight away.

Which is more sensible?

I have come accross the odd 109CSW for under £500, but they have been few and far between, and most have been well beyond economical repair.

I think that realistically, you need to have something like £1500-£2000 to go shopping for one that is worth having.

You'll probably find that a SWB S3 or early ninety is also more expensive than a LWB, and a SWB CSW probably as much or more than a LWB CSW, as they are more desireable to start with. Which is daft, as the LWB vehicles, I think are that much more useful. But there you are.

If you want more details on the Rangie dickie seat conversion, drop me an e-mail. I think that is probably my best reccomendation.
