Zilverhaze 1,627 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I've got a new 110 pickup 63 plate my mate got it me threw the business (we have a car business together ) it's the most bouncey car I've ever drove. off road it gets me anywhere and perfect for hunting but the inside is tiny and the back is small it fits a triple terrier box and a few digging tools enough for me like but I have a Suzuki jimmy with more room inside i Am for ever getting threw into the window and sometimes bang my head of it always hitting my elbow of the window ime not a big guy my pal has to have the window down to drive it I love it cos I no it's not going to break any time soon and can take a serious hammering and will properly last me a long time but it's horrible to be a passenger in you have to put your foot on the dash to stop you getting whip lash lol and the back seats are about as comfy as a park bench for the money it cost I think it chuld of been better but I don't think I would part with it it's grown on me faults and all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rodp 316 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Mate of mine has just bought a old landy out of a barn,i say bought he's done some building work and will pay a few quid but less than £400 all in and the landy is a rare lenght one and he's been bid £6000 for it all in bits and as found (it's been stood 20 years but is in first class nick but needs putting back together)..A fully restored one recently was for sale for £20,000, so he's done well no matter what way he goes with it eh,£100 for a old landy ,it'd be allready sat on my drive ... series 1 80" ??? I'd sooner find a 107, 12 seater 5 door, seen one of those lately ? I was offered one years ago, should have had it and stored it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sussex 5,777 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I only know there worth a few quid because a pal of a pal is buying up every thing he can , and parting with strong money for them ..Wasn't one of the first range rovers in mint condition recently sold at auction for the thick end of a hundred grand ..?I think it was one of the prototypes they road tested ..

rodp 316 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Underneath is remarkably similar, in fact a lot of parts are interchangeable. If it's got leaves or coils it's good. Have a look at the old Camel trophy vids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
