This is one of the very very rare ones that were I believe mat black from new, think there werre either 2 or 3 - James will know more - that were bought by some IT guy for his estate. Certainly has history. I think Adam on here has one of these?? _________________ Cheers

£20k purchase + £10k restoration then sell for £40k = £10k profit.
Or am I missing something ... |

that looks like a rattle can job if ever I've seen one, and it looks like the wings smacked up...
I suspect the black rattle spray is hiding a whole host of nasty surprises _________________ im allways in the muck... its just the depth that differs..

Why is this "one to avoid"? I'm fairly near to this one...... |

I'm not sure why Simon said that.
A good low owner, low mileage 50th is getting hard to find. Most need paint now so restoring this one could make perfect sense. _________________ James

The cheapest 50th we have at the moment is Albert's, and I feel sure that you could get it for £17,000. So I don't quite understand what's holding some buyers back, it seems to be great for that price. Restore it for £13,000 (it might not even need Simon's full touch) and you'd have a £45,000 50th for £30,000. What's not good about that? GB145 just went for £17,000, and it was a bit good for that price (black chequerplate, engine mods and bigger wheels, too). I don't think the new owner has yet joined this club. _________________ Barry

I don't think the 'one to avoid' comment referred to the 50th but rather some of the comparisons made with other Defenders.

Yes, Robert. I took it to mean that Simon was referring to the Autotrader one that I posted a link to. _________________ Barry

I don't think we have quite seen the £45k 50th yet, but feel free to pm me if you would like one. _________________ ex GB 278 |
