Hi, I have a 1993 Discovery that has been sitting in a warehouse for a number of years. I am unsure if I should spend the time, effort and money to get it MOT'd and sell it or if it would be better to sell as parts, considering nearly all the parts are original land rover.
Any help would be much appreciated as I am no expert in terms of land rovers.
TIA.

Hello and welcome
it would all depend on will it pass a mot and how much time you want to speed on the motor.

I would put it through an mot and decide from there. If it passes, you've got a year of motoring if it fails on much expensive work, break it for parts. An mot is about £50 so not a huge price to pay to end your dilemma.

+1 it’s the easiest option, pay particular attention to the chassis, inner front wings and floors both front and back for corrosion, also the body sills are prone to a bit of rust so worth giving them a dig,
