1949 S1 - what's it worth?

**Ranga** · 25th October 2009, 09:03 PM

A mate has offered me his 1949 S1 (80" I think). A bit thin on details as yet, but apparently runs and has "heaps of spares".

On the face of it, any idea what ot would be worth?

I'll try and up some photos and more details when I get them.

LOL - I know it was a very subjective question, just wondering what I should expect to pay

Pictures will help. Anything pre 1950 ads premium to the value. All depends on how many orginal bits are left and what condition they are in.

I'm probably not too far off the mark.

A cruddy , rusty, bitsa - maybe a grand.
A somewhat complete one - a few grand
A really nicely restored one - quite a few grand
A concourse resto - many many grand
A NOS Shed find with everything original - name your price.

All 1949 80" landrovers had the 1.6 litre motor except the " B40 Rolls Royce" powered models.

the answer is of course what ever you think it;s worth

the questions that should be asked is how much your mate thinks its worth and what he expects you to pay for it and whether you agree and are happy to pay that amount

of course its all subjective on what one's valuation basis, 1949 car metal scrap value is one basis, rarity is another, mates bargain values another

The above points are all valid. A couple of cautions though.

First thing would be to determine whether it really IS a 1949 model, not (for example) a 1959! A chassis number would immediately identify it.

Although some very early 80" Landrovers are worth quite a bit, these will be ones that have some special status as well as being early - who owned them, first in the state, that sort of thing. But even for most of these, you can be pretty certain that the cost of restoration will exceed the value of the restored vehicle, so don't expect to make money out of it!

The actual value of the vehicle as it is will depend very much on exactly what model it is - as indicated, 1950 or earlier will be worth significantly more. The other major determinants will be completeness, condition, and how much it has been messed with. Depending on these factors, the value will be anything from scrap to perhaps $5000 for a near perfect specimen, unless it has some special status, in which case it could be much higher.
