Having been looking closely at prices for LWB S2,3 and 110s over the past week or so trying to find one there seems to be some very odd ideas out there about what vehicles are worth.

However with a bit of analysis as far as I can tell this is how you work out Land Rover prices


If it says "Easy Project" it's £5K overpriced
If its a trade seller its 10K overpriced
If it says barn find it's £15K overpriced
If it says "USA Exportable" on an advert its £20K overpriced


But if its what I would like, 200 miles from me and not on any sensible rail route from here it will be an absolute bargain and be unsold for weeks just to annoy me..............

I heard that on the Series Ones anyway, they actually ended up costing more because they were non standard!

My point exactly. Fairly typical of MoD Procurement  still !

The 4x2s cost a hell of a lot more than a standard Land Rover, probably twice.

They were not the best idea and were quickly dropped 
Someone probably got a promotion for the idea
