    Cool

    Hi All, I have another question to all Defender fans. I am after peolpes opinion on what it is worth i know its hars to say with our seeing the vehicle but i am only after a ball park figure.

    Vehicel has...
    Front and rear arb difflocks
    maxi drive axels in rear
    blue tounge compressor
    water tank under rear seat
    2nd fuel tank in tub
    well built home made rear draw system
    big steel canopy
    dual batteries
    pto winch
    chev 6.5 diesel fully engineered
    lifted by pro ride
    bfg all terrains 3/4 worn
    reco transfer case
    270 000ks
    94 mdl
    snorkel

    There is a few small dints in the body over all average condition
    roof lining in front is falling down.

    Thats about all i can think of. It is hard to value due to motor change i think. Any way what do you all think??????

    Cheers Jim

    Sounds like a serious rig.
    This is tough one. There is probably $10-15 grand worth of extras before you get to the chev motor. (then another $5Kish for motor ?)
    Price will depend a lot on condition - not so much the dents and dings but more the condition of all that gear. You've gotta assume with all those upgrades, the vehicle has not had a soft life and will have some wear - how bad will determine price. Any bent bits? Suspension? How much will you need to spend? The conversion need to be looked at closely, sure its "engineered" but is it a good job? (Whilst I like the sound of the big chev I'll be interested in what others have to say about it - I'm not sure it adds too much value.)

    I'm thinking somewhere between 18 to 23 grand - but hell I'm not an expert so I'm interested to see what the others will say.

    Thanks for the imput Sleepy. I will be interested too as he is asking a little more than that. Seems like the only thing i will need to do is the box as it has a serious wine in 5th. too much torque!!! But you never know with a vehicle like that.....

    Hmm - for me the chev engine would be a downside. They have their fair share of problems...

    And the gearbox won't have an easy life...

    I have seen good 2nd hand or rebuilt R380s sell for any where between 500 and 2k. Suffix K and L boxes are stronger - if it has one of these (as opposed to a suffix J), it may hold up better.

    Dave Ashcroft has new R380s for GBP885 outright.
