They also had some rebadged mx5’s with arbarth badges.

Big dollars, but wow, it does look to be pretty nice,...what would its new price have been?
I think the little sports car that you noticed would be the Fiat Arbarth 124 Spyder, which is of course based on the MX5, but which has a 1.4L Turbo SOHC 4cyl engine & a different (to the MX5) 6 speed gearbox.

I’d also imagine there will be a downward price correction of “old” Defenders when the newer version is released. I’ve heard that April 2018 will be the reveal!

Where did you hear that Greg?

Land Rover have not released that information......

My MY16 was $65K on the road with partial leather, ABS/Traction control and heated seat/screen pack. Mine's a Cab chassis though, From memory the HCPU back was about 3-4K extra

Fair price then.

I'd be interested to know what the seller supplying Doncaster Land Rover with the 130 got for the trade. The vehicle had only been in the yard for a few weeks from what I could see as I drive by there most days. When I looked up the price I had to read it twice. $80K which would purchase a V8 Toyota. Seriously! I hope the person who bought it got a good deal. It did look to be in good condition though.

They have just serviced mine so I should see what they think it is worth.

Rumour from Defender2 (UK) forum that JLR have cleared the decks at that time for a big announcement. The new Defender is already undergoing testing in disguise under other bodies and is reportably due to be in production for 2019. The word is that April will see the release of information regarding the new Defender .

I don't understand what makes a Toyota at $80K better than a Defender at $80K? I think Defenders are worth more than Toyota 70 series.

I don’t think either of them are **worth** more than $50k NEW..

Whomever thinks that a 130DC HCPU that was $65k new is worth more than new price now - has rocks in their head..

And anyone who pays more than new price - should seek medical advice - because they’re having a momentary lapse of intelligence..

And the Toyota... ok if you don’t like your internal organs and just want to lug hay around a paddock occasionally.
