    It's nice, but I could really enjoy the next few years with that money instead.

    It is a very nice example. There is the thread on “restoring a series”.
    I am in no way saying that it cost that much to restore but a restoration of that quality would cost a lot.
    Non genuine steering wheel though.

    Would you want a brand new sport or an original 2 door rangie
    If I had that sort of coin to throw around I know what I would go for
    All the bum warmers and cold breeze blowing out the dash can’t compete with the v8 roar of a real steel bumper classic
    Each to there own I suppose
    We all know which one is a real Range Rover and which one is for those who want a real Range Rover

    Given the amount of new parts it's not really a restoration - it's a new car built to look like an old one.

    My POS is by no means stock, but these days kinda looks it with 15 x 7 rostyles, no flares etc.

    GM engine, Ford auto, Maxi's f & r (soon) suit me as I'm more interested having something that is simple, strong and nice to drive anywhere.

    There are two types of people who ask if I'd sell it:

    The first are usually blokes who want one because dad had one like it in PITA red and it brings back all those childhood memories. They don't care about the engine or trans. They might remember the second mortgage their parents had to take out to fix a blown 3.5 or LT95.

    The second are usually Poms who want to know if it has the original donk, trans and diffs, i.e. matching numbers. If it did they'd pay reasonable dollars because they know they could flip it for quite a lot more.

    The price of good RRC resto's or mint originals is well and truly validated by what people will pay for HR Holden or pov pack Cortina resto's for example.

    cheers, DL

    With the current value of our 'peso', I reckon for someone from OS, it's probably cheap!

    Have you seen what a Range Rover Reborn is going for from the factory?

    Great job in the resto, but I'd have used original shocks and springs.

    yes its a bit expensive and as mentioned, an early 2 door is a better buy BUT
    Actually I WOULD prefer THAT than a brand new sport. It probably makes better financial sense.

    The Sport will drop $20k just driving it out of the showroom, In 15 years the Sport will be worth nothing . The Classic will appreciate, (but at that price, probably not too much) .

    That’s right,a new sport would be worth not much in 5 yrs time,and would be a waste of money.

    That Classic at about half the price it is listed at would be a much better buy,if that’s what you want.

    it has been well done

    Hi, I have seen this resto from basic to now and know the professional LR restorer/expert who did most of it and I can say nothing has been left untouched--it really is a work of art if you look at it,and I know of another that went for over the $100k so it just comes down to what a buyer wants--it will go better and does look better than a new one--but yes it is big bucks but some people have that sort of money so up to them.

    I have been involved with veteran and vintage cars, restorations, and restorers since I was 18. I am now 78. Often over the years I have seen fellow hobbyists and club members advertise their pet for sale at ridiculous prices. The usual comment when asked why the high price goes along the lines of "I have spent $xxxxxx restoring it and I intend to get my money back." or "It has cost me $xxxxx and I am not going to let some upstart steal it from me at a bargain basement price." Well, restoration is not value adding or turning a sow's ear into the proverbial silk purse. Restoration is a hobby and the money spent is the cost of that hobby unless the vehicle is a very rare and valuable classic. A restored RR is not rare. They were mass produced and in reality have the value of any other mass produced vehicle with a premium for condition, originality, and correctness of the restoration.
