Am really thoughtful about selling my series 3 1974 88 too cheaply. Looking on Ebay and a few other sites a near wreck is about £1000 plus! My series 3 runs very well , petrol, Full MOT solid bulkhead etc and I was offered £1200? Am I being done do you think? I know prices are on the up so maybe I should hold onto it. Moving a long distance has forced me to think about selling but I really dont know now? Anyone advise me sensibly on values etc please?
 
Sold my 82 SWB around a year ago.Tidy inside and out,hardtop with station wagon sides, very good bulkhead and chassis.
2.25 diesel with recent rebuild. I asked £2150 and got £2000 without any bother.
 
I would say £1,200 is too cheap especially since it is road tax free now, good runner with solid bulkhead and full mot I would hold on to it.

maybe that's the going rate up where you are but down here I would bite your hand off at that price
 
This is the Landrover Im talking about.

Very had to value old vehicles, especially from a distance. Really it comes down to what someone will pay you for it on the day.

Just noticing your location, if you are planning to sell from there, you may have to accept a lower price, as there wont be many able buyers willing to go up there to view/collect the vehicle. We notice this right down here in West Cornwall as well.
 
1,200 is too cheap. over here, i can (apparently) look at getting around 6k for a restored one. thats roughly 4,300 quid. Parabolic springs on it, dont forget! they are quite expensive alone!

I got my s1 quite cheaply c.f. to what others were selling for as it was in stonehaven, even with paying the seller £400 to deliver it for me it was still a good deal. If he hadn't offered to deliver I wouldn't have been able to bid so he would probably got even less. iirc there was only me and someone else bidding, 3 of us at the most
 
Reinforce opinions too cheap at under £2,000. That's a solid presentable truck. I'd totally avoid ebay n go for more localized advertising. Ebay is total crap, percieved value n auto bids
Pumps up stupid bids.

I agree, ebay is not the best place to buy a vehicle, especially a classic, and I have never done so.
Much prefer local papers, auto-trader, free-ads, specialist magazines, sometimes word of mouth is the best of all, you can find things that aren't even advertised, although unwanted.
 
Look at prices on car and classic. £1200 is the price of a project which needs lots of work and no mot.
I would say yours looks like a £3k vehicle from what we can see. Hang on to it.
