Thread: Price for Series IIa SWB

Like incisor, once you get one of these, you tend to carry out improvements, for the betterment of the vehicle or personal titivating.
I have done some of both to mine and am still making what I think are lnprovements.
I don't think 10 grand would prise it from me, and our eldest son would fight you for it, as he has claimed it as part of his inheritance.

I paid $2k for mine about three years ago. It was advertised on eBay and surprisingly I think there was only one other bidder. It came with 12 months registration so I think I got a pretty good deal. That said, it promptly blew the headgasket and I have poured more money than I care to calculate getting it into a regular driveable condition - key things it needed were new tyres, new cylinder head and replacement of just about every rubber part. On the positives it had straight bodywork that hadn't been chopped or bashed too badly, the chassis and bulkhead were spot on with no major rust or defects. I think the one you're interested in should be between $2 and 3.5k but you can expect to spend about the same to get it properly recommissioned and useable on a daily basis. You are unlikely to regret it though, I have had so much fun sorting mine out and tracking down replacement parts. All part of the fun!
