Apart from the outrageous price, there's something strange about this, notice how photshopped some of the pictures are? For instance, this side view that totally seems to be missing the 'Puma' style bonnet.

I have a friend in Orgeon who had a quote done up for a restored '83 Defender with a TD5 from Arkonik in the Uk. 100k all up. Needless to say he didn't go through with it. I did see on Instagram recently a guy in New York who imported a Perentie from QLD. This would probably be the more cost effective option of getting one in the US, but I don't know what hoops one would have to jump through.

Its America, I am surprised they just haven't 3D printed them as required...

Up to 73 listed today I see.
Definitely some unrealistic upward movement on pricing, including one hopeful owner who is listing his brand new Heritage 90 at $109K?!
Pickles.

He generously dropped that down from his original listing price of $110k. Doesn't look like any are moving so I believe the sale price is relatively unchanged but it's frustrating that the asking price is unreasonable. There's 90's listed in the $70's

I think it's too early to be asking those sorts of prices. People will be watching and waiting to see what happens for the next couple of years before deciding what they think these cars are worth.

Even Defenders that have quite a few km's on them from about 2011 on are asking for serious money! You wonder why the Heritage only dropped a grand really lol

Are they selling? Mr Barbagallo is certainly trying his luck, but I haven't seen a lot of movement in the lot.

There are definitely some with prices well above average but for the most part they don't seem to be selling. Not everyone is silly though and you can still find reasonable deals.

Hey all, so what is a realistic price for a 2000 model 130 with say 200k on it? They seem to be advertised for around 20k.
