Thread: First diesel land rover?

Even if it really is the first diesel, absent the original engine, I seriously doubt it is worth anything like the price being asked.

Perhaps something like that fully restored and with the original engine, but even then, I doubt it would be worth half that.

Maybe, as is, a tenth of what is being asked. After all, it is a historic landmark.

(Actually not the first Landrover diesel - just the first factory one. After market diesel conversions were offered from very early on, and the demand for these convinced Rover to design the diesel.)

That's a joke right? Even if I did have that sort of cash, I'd never spend it on some clapped out S1.

I think I agree with you John, half the price (or less) - fully restored better than factory condition.

It is interesting that people are out there trying to get this sort of money for LR's though.....

I had a quick look on ebay UK and couldn't see it.

That will be taking up his garage space for some i would think.

Tell him he's joking, that's 200,000 quid, in real dosh that converts to about $400,000.

If it's genuine, with the right markings, he might get something like that. After all, the two millionth Land Rover recently sold for 400,000 pounds at a charity auction. Imagine what the very last Land Rover Defender is worth, now gone to the Dunsfold Museum.
There's a big market in special Land Rovers and prices have been rising rapidly.

Will be interesting to see what it sells for

Rust bucket Land Rover on sale for staggering ?200,000 - but there is an important reason why

You're just in time to be too late Jerry.
