But that was dissassembled and the platform used for continued design.

To determine collectability, you need to consider the following criteria.

Is it a true veteran or vintage vehicle?

Is it considered a "Post-vintage Thoroughbred" by the snobbier vintage sports car clubs?

Is it listed as a Classic by the Classic Car Clubs?

Does the brand have a considerable reputation but not necessarily with all models.

Is it rare, that is a one-off or very low volume production? Note that quite a few of these are rubbish and worthless.

Does the particular vehicle have a noteworthy history? Such as competition history, owned by a notable person, took part in historic events, etc.

If the vehicle was cheap and mass produced it is not very collectable unless the make/model had some special features or aesthetic value.

If the vehicle doesn't fit at least some of these criteria then it is just an old car.

There are vehicles that appeal only to a small group of dedicated enthusiasts who collect these. Land Rovers fit in this class in my opinion.

Whatever Land Rover you happen to be driving at this point in time. Bob

Factory Isuzu 110 wins hands down.

Followed very closely by a good clean 109 Stage One wagon.

I am of course very biased

Hmm, looks like it was reassembled again.




I think even a replica like this would be very desirable, give the rivet counters something to think about anyway.

So true, a unique Australian development that was built in good numbers not to be an old ball. Out preformed anything in its day and still performs well today. Only a couple of years to go until they start to get classic registration.
longest running body/suspension of any land rover configuration ( read most successful). Even copied today by the puma pussies, unfortunately not with the same amount of strength and more copper.
Have the longest average ownership.
With little modifications will outperform the latest in all respects

I think it will be a very long time (if ever) before my D1 becomes collectible, judging from the resale value.

That one hits all the right buttons.
