Landrover4U in Axminster

Ive sent the details to a specialist landy place here in Devon, asked for a valuation and if they will sell it on our behalf, for a fee of course.

there's very little rust on it. The last MOT had it's first ever advisory which is "minor exhaust leak". Ok I was well off with the miles it's done. It's done 23k miles in 35 years.

We've had it since new, acquired on 13/07/81 No details on the V5 or docs I have about who built it, there may be a plaque in it somewhere that will say but it's not at where I'm based. I could have a look tomorrow.

It's a 2.3 petrol engine which I am guessing is less desired than a derv? It's been serviced every year, and then done very few miles between services, maybe 500 if that.

I'm a fleet manager for SJA, it's still owned by us. Currently collecting dust while we decide one way or anther what to do with it.

Damn! Hate tuna! We are wondering whether to sell it, or restore it and keep it as a PR tool. It all depends on what we might get for it as it is. The engine is pretty much perfect. Ebay is an option but would like a rough idea what it might be worth?

Hello! Wondering what this might be worth? We are wondering what to do with it at the moment. It has 50k miles on it and had very little use. It's a bit tatty but otherwise sound.

This for instance... Prrrr.. 1980 Land Rover Series III SWB 2.2 Excellent Runner Low Mileage | eBay

Thank you for the welcomes! I spent hours today "working from home" (searching on ebay for a land rover) and so many I would love. Mostly it's older ones that butter my parsnips.. Ideally a swap for my mini would work but more likely have to sell it and then buy something. Fingers crossed!

Oh I will be keeping my 2010 C-Max, it would be a replacement for my classic mini, who's heater has a mind of it's own!

Hello hello. I'm Philip, live in London although move to sunny Devon next week. Never owned a Land Rover. Always admired from a distance. Love the Defender and early series. I have a rubbish C-Max daily drive and a 1992 Mini British Open Classic that I love and use a lot. As I've now...
