Seeing as Richards are asking £4k for just a new chassis for an 80", It is pretty good value. The chassis could easily be straighten were dented and the bulkhead will be fine after a quick clean.
I have seen the Land Rovers he gets from Australia and they are solid in comparison with ones that spent their life in this damp country.
I do like the fencing wire steering wheel however.... :first

And to think that in 2009 I paid only slightly more than the opening bid for a complete 80" which was running/driving and not an import. How times have changed :stars
Same here, bought a 1951 lights through the grill for £2700 in 2010 and sold it for £3500 a few months later after sorting the brakes out. The prices have been climbing ever since, would have been a good investment had I held onto it.
