Thread: Solihull to begin restoration of older Land Rovers.

You out there Dinty??
60K sound alright to you?

Yep. They'll have a small niche business over there in Solihull. Mercedes have been doing that for some time. Cheque book restoration. I want to do that with one of my Mercs. Just waiting to win the lotto.

The quality will be high,......and so will the price.
Pickles.

For $60,000 quid a pop, surely they could build a line of brand new Series 1 Landies.

Yup! I believe that there are agents here that purchase from Evilbay,put said vehicles in a container,and off to UK,as our vehicles are dry,and because we don't salt our roads in winter most have clean chassis,they buy our outback vehicles dead or alive and pack them off,early Series 1 vehicles fetch a premium.


The Japanese do the same with Toyotas both sedans/wagons and Cruisers,all Vintage vehicles now,




cheers

If they build them as new, they have to comply with all the regs such as emission standards, seat belts etc.
By rebuilding an existing one all they need is the chassis number and build a new car around it.

Why ask Dinty?

I think if they took his to restore theyd dust it and sendit back "done!"

So, are we trying to force the market value of s1's up with this?
