    Series I on Gumtree

    https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/port...gon/1168701779

    Seems rather expensive for what it is.
    Not sure the paint job does it any favours as it highlights all the dents & creases.
    Non-standard tail lights.

    It would be interesting to know what Lorbek paid for it.

    My boss knows that I like old Land Rovers - and he has encouraged me to go and have a look at this, and to purchase it... Lol!

    I'm certainly no expert on Series I's - but this one seems to be far from original:

    * Series II dash board
    * Wrong Mirrors
    * Sunroof / Window in cabin roof
    * Tray floor?
    * Is that the correct air filter?
    * Wrong tail lights
    * Wrong wiper motors
    * Charging points - not entirely sure that this is original..

    Horrible paint job - certainly doesn't do it any favours.

    I would want a concourse, numbers matching, vehicle for that asking price...

    I too wonder how much it was bought for AND what kind of margin they are putting on it?

    Cheers,
    GG.

    It looks a heck of a lot like a car someone put up here in maybe "interesting and funny", that had been "restored" appallingly. I'll see if I can find it. But, yeah, it is all wrong, however some mug will pay 30K for it. Personally, I would prefer they hadn't painted it. I reckon the thing Chops got, for example, is way better in it's patina.

    It was previously owned by a friend of mine. The show room lighting doesn't do it any favours, it looks a lot better in the 'flesh' & drives very well.

    You are right though, the asking price is very different from what the dealer paid for it!
