Thinking of selling my Series 2A

[TooBusy]

Hi,

I'm not sure if anyone can help me, but I am thinking of selling my Series 2A. It is a 1967 long wheel base (I'm female and am not very technical!) and I believe it is ex-army. (It has green paint underneath the white coat on top and has black out lights).

It hasn't been driven for over a year, but was running fine prior to that, though is not registered. I tried to start it a few months ago and it almost went but I think it may need a new battery.

It has a bed and cupboards in the back but I think I may have the seats still if it might sell better in a more original condition.

To get to the point, I was wondering if anyone may be able to suggest somewhere I can advertise to sell it.

Thank you,

K

I notice that you have also posted this message in the Sydney LROC section. When we can identify the model and general condition, someone can give you some ideas on value.

Green and army are difficult things when talking about Land Rovers. The vast majority of the short wheelbase models were green including civilian, government and Army.

Is there a car identification plate - if you give us the number stamped into that it will also assist.

When you go to sell it, your options are vast, in the Markets section on this forum, on the Trading Post newspaper or on Ebay are just some. Even the LROC may circulate your email.

Cheers for now.

Hi Diana,

Thank you for your quick reply!

I have attached a couple of pics, hopefully this will make things easier. As for the model and ID plate, I'll have to suss it out when I get home. The condition is good but I will try and identify anything not so good.

Thank you,

Kylie

Have now seen the images - yes definitely Army, most likely a GS (general Service) vehicle. The white colour (or should that be shade) may be a sign of UN overseas service and it even has it's gardening tool brackets, (they go for $250 by themselves), the boys in the REMLR (Registry of Ex-Military Land Rovers) will be interested.

The price range you mentioned is about right and if you sold through eBay the auction could go more (or not). On eBay, decide what you want as a minimum and covering cost and start there.

You can also post for sale in the REMLR For Sale Wanted (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/remlr-sale-wanted/) section on this forum.

Thanks, Diana.

That's a great help.

I'll miss him but he's a lot of work for a non mechanical female!

:Rolling: ;)

Maybe you could join REMLR and then the boys will come over and help you maintain him and even restore him to full parade standard! :D :D

You would have to buy yourself some military fatigues to look the part however.

Aw Diana, I wish I'd acted upon your suggestion all those years ago. I've moved and have no where to put the old buggar now and seem to only have the option of selling it or paying a bomb in storage. Thank you for your help and suggestions and I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you. Guess I just didn't want to sell him! Oh, should say, I listed him on eBay last night. Kylie :(
