A good place to start would be the topic about posting photos!

A late Range Rover "Classic" for 400 Sovs isn't bad, You could always bolt in a old Perkins lump if it works out to juicey.

[kinkersaab]

Where is it?

Any more detail in the add?

 

 

 

ah, sorry, should have been clearer, it's at my house Tayne, I just bought it....to play with for a bit, then punt on.

[254575]

dont have a FB account....

 

auto or manual?

mileage?

tax/test?

[kinkersaab]

its an L plate non soft dash vogue se auto, with moulded bumpers. in dark blue with grey leather, 134k loads a history and mot till next month, no advisories last time though. Tax until end of july too.

[kinkersaab]

It;s also been converted to springs and shocks, under the dubbs, its in bloody good nick, and mechanically seems all good. I dont think i have pushed a button that hasnt worked yet........

[254575]

has the headlining become carpet yet?

[kinkersaab]

not that i have noticed, i havent looked, but did look up as i opened the sunroof earlier and never noticed anything, im a Saab 900 freak, so am used to droopy headlinings.

[meggersdog]

Sounds a bargain to me.SE spec so leathered up with all the toys.I've owned a few,mostly gas converted but never that cheap.I always regret selling a 300TDi soft dash three years ago but,still,needed the cash at the time.Those look like Discovery alloys btw

[Minimad5]

Fantastic, always wanted one of these (OMG HUGE INSURANCE .. etc. etc.....)

 

Looks like a bargain. Good luck with this

LOL WUT? Less than £100 a year to insure one of these (for me, old, not in the ghetto).

It's the villainous thirst that I can't cope with any more.

[eddyramrod]

Nice find! I wouldn't let the thirst worry me...

[dollywobbler]

My Landy is suddenly looking expensive! Nice buy.

Ive got one the same year and same colour, was a v8 but currently has a 200tdi engine fitted, does about 34mpg

th only reason I can justify it in my fleet is the v8 bit, had it been a tdi, it would be punted allready i reckon, I still struggle a wee bit with 4 cyl diesels..... they just dont seem to do anything nicely.

I recommend trying an LDV Maxus. VM engines have come on a bit since they were sticking 'em in Rangies and SD1s. That doesn't mean they're reliable. Or that the vans are well built.

[Pete-M]

Ooook! I was looking for a nice Rangie Classic SE when I bought the Heep.

 

Looks like I didn't look hard enough.

I've grown tired of 4 pot diesels too, that's why I'm looking at 5 or 6 cylinder ones instead.

 

The old OHV VMs were quite refined by the standards of the day.

 

Range Rover sounds like a mega bargain to me, why so cheap?

[kinkersaab]

The chap was going off to saudi on business, he popped into see me as he knewi liked old wierd shite, i bid him £350, or said id toss for £300 or £400, i lost the toss.

He was hoping for a lot more, but, after what felt like an hour of pissing about waiting for him to tell me how much, I just bid him, he was all for shopping around for a better bid, so i siad if i but it, i buy it now and give you a lift to the bus stop. That worked, I didnt piss abot checking the thing, no messing and a cheeky frim bid is the best way, if you start " test driving" and proding and poking about to much at that price level it pisses them off. esp if you follow all that with "ok, ill have a think about it" A bidding man is a buying man.

[garycox]

Well bought, that looks great, I'd love to have one.

[Lord Sterling]

Nice one. Always fancied one othose Rangies myself. I've even got an LPG kit waiting to be fitted on something. Though if I ever get around to getting that bloody Sterling on the road, it may well go on that.

[dollywobbler]

That's a brilliant buying story. I am now determined to haggle on my next car over the toss of a coin.
