FS: LHD 110 with blown engine

Hello again all, been away for a while.  The saga of my 110 SW is
almost over, with Willetts Landrovers Ltd. winding up business to
avoid paying up on my claim.  As such, since I haven't the money to do
her up, she's for sale.  Superb condition body and chassis, 1983 110
SW, nine seats (all with belts), roofrack, Dixon Bate adjustable tow
hitch with NATO and ball hitches on separate plates, also Sankey
trailer.  The only thing wrong is the engine: 2.25l diesel which has
no power and smokes like a chimney - maybe piston rings, don't know.
All the gaskets from the head joint upwards are brand new, so it isn't
a leak there.  As such, consider it a non-runner, and thus must be
trailered away from West France.

However, your chance for a real bargain.  when I get home next weekend
she's going on eBay, so if you are interested (Matthew perhaps?) let
me know before then.  You can email by removing the obvious, or reply
through the group.  I'm looking for about £3000.

Cheers,
Stuart

It'd be a bargain at £300. £3000 will get you a reasonably nice, RHD,
runner without having to spend a fortune going to France to collect the
bugger.

Although if it's a left-hooker in France they're a bit rare, so if you want
one in France...

I've got a mate in Czech who wants a LHD 90 turbo-diesel, but he wants a
decent runner. I think that is where the problem lies. Who the hell is
going to pay £3k for a dead 2.25 110?

I think the OP would be better off flogging his accessories, like the
Sankey trailer, and putting a more realistic price on the 110. Or,
preferably an engine in it. With a decent engine it'd be worth £3k, no
worries.

That's the problem - I've got no spare cash to sort out the engine.
However, 110s have a much better resale value in France (yes, they are
a bit rare), so on to eBay it goes!  Thanks for the input, everyone.

Only LHD ones, or either flavour?

I haven't seen many RHD Land Rovers available, but in general RHD is
quite popular amongst the French (the driver is further from the point
of impact... :) ).  Take a look at the LHD Rovers on eBay.fr - there
aren't that many, and the prices are higher than eBay.co.uk

Also, the 110 SW is the highest-value of the 90/110s.

Of course, the alternative is, can anyone supply me with a decent
engine or engine/gearbox combo for next to nothing?  I'd even consider
a V8...

Undoubtedly so. But given that I bought a '91 200Tdi 110 CSW with a
full MOT and in great nick apart from scabby middle row doors and no
headlining for £3k, I still think the value placed is somewhat on the
high side! Either that, or I got a sodding bargain. And I aint known
for getting bargains...

But it's LHD and in France.  OK, there may not be much of a demand, but
there's a very small supply of such.

As such, we can't really apply British price values.  I wouldn't give 3K for
it either, in this country.

Yeah, but they ain't that much more!  This one isn't that far off

asking €5500, mind, and it's RHD.  Personally, I'd be looking for LHD to
drive regularly in France, even in a Landy.  

£3K is OTT, IMHO, but you gain nothing by starting at a low price.  You can
always come down...

Sorry to hear you have been another victim of that company. I have seen
2 dreadful vehicles come out of there for top money. They have a habit
of buying crap and giving it a coat of paint then charging a fortune for
it.

I may have been interested, but a mate of mine has just bought a very
similar one that was just running badly, for 1000 euros!  He just
cleaned it all up and now it is running spot on.  That was a bargain!

Anyway, I'm trying to save up for a D3, but the buggers are all 5 seater
manuals here (even HSE), so the 7 auto's are rare and expensive, and
with Sarky's new showroom tax of up to 9000euros (not sure where the D3
fits, but you can bet near the top end), they ain't gonna get any
cheaper any time soon! which may mean I have to look at a Td5 instead.

That was £1500 obviously ;)
