I've never understood old Land Rover love - even newer ones are miserable. I'd rather have a Hilux!

Liked, and I own 2.

It has light damage to the wishbone mounting points,

Worth every penny. If those pennies were in fact flattened rabbit turds.

This is the degree to which I restored my first Imperials. I soon found out, that this isn't what I want to do with my cars.

Once this level of resto quality is achieved, the car is neither authentic, I mean, they weren't that good from the factory,

nor do you anymore enjoy driving it.

You have built, in essence, a trailer queen.

I learned from this and then restored cars only to the degree that they can still be driven, since this is what a car is all about, innitt?

 

However, I never ever made the mistake many people make, which is:

 

Cost of buying the car + cost of restoration = market value

 

It just doesn't bloody work that way, m8!

 

Nowadays, I have modified my outlook altogether:

 

Let an old car just be an old car.

If you don't really want an old car, steer clear of it and lease a new one.

Pub talk is that it used to be:

Cost of buying the car + cost of restoration = market value * 4

 

Now it's nearer to:

Cost of buying the car + cost of restoration = market value * 5

Very nice example, but even half that price would still be a tad salty (but maybe achievable on a good day).

For once I shall go against the flow, I agree the price for the Humber is stupid, from the interior it looks like they wanted to turn it into a Chevrolet (but it could be re-dyed) I do like the V8 and lack of obvious external signs. So for me it's. 7/10

Range Rover Classic x2 very very early cars never to be repeated

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262891912501?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

£25,000

Defo triggers broom that ^^ one, reckon that even axles, engine and box have been replaced. Along with of course the body frame, interior and chassis

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

Fuck my boots, makes my Red Shed project look mint, there is not enough to see if it is genuine and early. Note how the VIN Plate has been removed from the slam panel, not going to waste my time checking chassis, axles, gearbox and engine numbers etc

 

Captain Obvious' verdict
