Series 3

[ezyrama]

Hi All

I am selling my minimoke and am wanting to replace my toy with a series 3
88' hardtop, I found one out the back of NSW in a farm shed for about $1600. It has been rebuilt to about 90% (needs brakes and a couple of other things) and I was after some idea as to the value of this vehicle. Good deal or not etc.:question: Always loved the Landies only got the Disco 300TDI
cause the handbrake said it was the only one she would drive.!
Thanks Ian

The price sounds reasonable for something 90% restored. They can be had cheaper, but by the time you get the vehicle up to spec it's going to cost more anyway. Have a look at ebay & Tradingpost.com.au (see all states) for a sampling of what's about.

Coming from a moke, there shouldn't really be any harsh surprises, the SIII handles like a billy cart too, quite nice to throw around corners when you get used to it - and you have to throw it around corners, otherwise it takes a very long time to get back up to road speed;).

The bump steer is often fun. You never fall asleep on a choppy road:p
