rodp Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 2.1/4 petrol will be adequate considering it's 1966 (Anglia / Cambridge era), if you want speed then don't buy it then slag it off. It could be worth £200 or it could be worth £10k. We have a chassis up rebuilt one that would fetch £££ thousands, (Not for sale, ever) Check it for rot, then check it again to find the bits the rose tinted specs missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) By sluggish what are you expecting from a 2 ton 1960s landrover with 70bhp...which after 50 years would probs be closer to 50bhp?? We have one thats been off the road for a few years now but before that she was a goodun. 55mph was comfortable 60 was possible and you normally get to that after a downhill slip road onto the dual carriageway. But even though they are slow they are probably one of the most fun things to drive and should always put a smile on your face every time you get in it, if it doesn't on the test drive then give up looking for a landrover IMO. Value all depends on condition and how rare they are a well sorted station wagon could be 15k whereas a standard 88" with MOT could be as little as 1.5K.

TaxiDriver Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 What will it be worth :unsure: But probably, A bit more than you'd like to pay for it, But, Nowhere near what the vendor would like to receive for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the nail Have to admit I have been looking at them for a while, especially 1966 as that was such a great year Edited November 22, 2015 by rimotu66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodp Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Oh, and by the way, it will be a 2A, not a 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Check for rot behind fuel tank on chassis. Also the front spring front hanger to chassis area. A drip from the transfer box is normal, a puddle not! Hopefully it will have a Weber carb fitted if petrol or it will use fuel like a Vulcan bomber!

AULD YIN Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Averaged 13 mpg on my 72 109 21/4 petrol ,sold it as the wife nagged the f### out of me for keeping it sitting on the driveway,not only lost a good motor but also had no NCB as it was insured as a historic vehicle (tax exempt) johnnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 My S3 88" does about that but I don't care, makes me smile every time I get in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
