101 forward control , wots it worth?

[davedarcy77]

Hi all hope you can help me a bit. I have a friend that has found a 101 forward control. It has not been started in 8/9 years and has been sat out side under a tarp. Sorry I donot have a photo and I have not seen it:(
And I do not know much about 101's . The big question is wot is it worth??? He has been told by the farmer to make a offer,, but what would be the write bull park? I know its hard to say with out a photo, but any help would be good.
The only number he gave me was FL6308 , hope this helps a bit.

G'day DD77,

"What's it worth" threads never seem to be that popular around here. It;s not that we don't like to chat about it, I think it has more to do with a tendancy for folks to have a "claytons" auction by starting with....
What's my XXX worth?. SO if your thread gets deleted don't be upset.

Having said that I reckon, if it hasn't been started/ doesnt go and potentially has lots of other issues I reckon I would be strectched to offer more than a few grand.

But these are unique vehicles - Less than 3000 ever made and only a handful here. The AUS army had a few and these are probably worth a little more.

As you say - very hard to say without more info/pics/numbers/description.

Thanks, I told him to go as far as $3,000. but some one also told him to offer $10,000 and no less??! 101 are not my thing, and I know little to nothing about them.
So any help was grate . I'll see if I can get him to take a photo and I will post it on another thread sometime soon. That will make for better Q&A:)

G'day All, Just thinking outside the square at the moment, if a farmer has it and it has stood for years I would be guessing that it's either a S2A/2B forward control rather than a 101, I could be wrong though LOL watching just out of interest sake/curiosity, cheers Dennis:angel:
ps when these 101's were available just over 20 years ago a mate paid 14K for his, it was in good condition, sadly it isn't anymore:( and no he will not sell it either which drives me mad :mad:

I agree with Dinty that there is a good chance that the vehicle is not a 101 but a series 2 FC.

101s in exceptional condition can sell for over $30K, good condition in army livery and registered around $20K, so so condition and running around $15K, good condition for a rebuild and complete but not running $10K and if not complete - a bit of basket case - less than $10K.

Remember there are less than 50 Aust army 101s in Australia and who knows - maybe another 50 elsewhere as well - so there are not many around.

Ok I just got a photo. and chassis number 95900084A It seems it was imported in 1991 from the UK and the paper says it is a 101 ? is it? was a L/H/D but now is a R/H/D.
Any info would be a big help ,
Thanks Dave

Yes it is most definitely a 101. Looks in reasonable condition, but as it is ex-UK and has a steering conversion, maybe worth less than the prices quoted above (check for rust!).

Any chance of getting a bigger photo?

[davedarcy77]

I'll have to try and pop out and see it myself and get some good photos. Its a friends find , not mine:(
It has some papers saying about the steering conversion and about being imported + had a crate of new parts.

Dave - definitely a 101 - near Goulburn?:)

Yes it is, funny to think thinks like this are still out there under our noses.

Like most landies the most common things to look for are seized and corroded brakes, dodgy electrics and rust in the rear X member. The mechanicals hold up pretty well and standard checks should show up any issues.
