From that photo and just that tiny bit of info you gave, I think that's a very good price for it.  It looks very tidy and original looking, just the way I like it.  :D

In my opinion, I think you should just raise the asking price a little to around £1,500 for the vehicle, unless you need a quick sale.  :)

unfortunately mate unless someone is out there looking for one you may struggle to sell it. When i was selling my series 3 i tried at abowt £1000 but had no interest so i removed the mud tyres/ overdrive and parabolics and reverted back to standard. In the end i put it on Ebay and ended up only getting a few hundred quid for it.
Sorry for being the bearer of bad news & good luck with the sale

Hi Colin,

Try broadening your horizons with the sale market. I think it's a fair price, especially considering the overdrive which is worth £300 on it's own. Someone should be snapping your hand off!

I hate to say it, there are other forums for Landrovers also with for sale sections ;), should be quite easy to find them using a search engine. You'll probably need to register on each one, but hey ho, it's free!

If you get really stuck you could try autotrader, or even approaching a company that deals with Landrovers such as The Landrover Centre (http://www.landrovercentre.com/) at Huddersfield, or any other dealers you may find advertising in various Landrover magazines such as Liveridge 4x4  (http://www.liveridge4x4.com/)

Good luck!

Rob.

i only paid £590 for my 1979 series 3 about 2 weeks ago, that was with 11 months test and 6 months tax, and in very very good order.  as said previously i think its just wether someone wants one or not and is willing to pay the money for it.  its a shame, cos it looks lovely!
