Found a used good running 109 w/ long wheel base. Seems to be in good shape with minimal rust. Diesel engine.
What would you pay for one? (U.S. Dollars).

Or a set of pictures?

Sorry I'll try to snap a few pics when I take a look at it again today. I didn't know what the average price was for a 109 in good running condition with minimal rust. I'll work on the pictures today.
There really is no "average" price because of the age and rarity of Series vehicles. If it's a 109" SW 5 door, it will be worth a lot more than a 109" 3 door, of which there are more in the USA.
Is is a 4 or 6 cylinder?
3 door or 5 door? Tailgate in rear?
Hardtop or canvas top?
Seats or benches in rear?
Series II-A or Series III
Which diesel engine, LR or a conversion?
Mileage on the car?
Service history?
Condition of transmission, transfer case?
What do you consider "minimal rust?" (The location of the rust is far more critical than the amount, e.g, door tops are much easier to replace than a rear crossmember)
Condition of frame and bulkhead?
That said, I bought a '66 Series II-A HT with a patched frame, original engine, two sets of 16" wheels and tires, new hoop set and canvas top, straight panels and faded out paint, for $3,000 two years ago. Unless your 109" is a station wagon, there's not a lot of difference in pricing between an 88" and a 109".
As recommended, post some photos. We're all intrigued!

For what its worth, last month I purchased a '73 Series 3 109 SW RHD with about 73,000 miles on it, fresh of the boat from england, it is the 2.25 petrol motor, for $5,000 us. It has some rust, but over all it is in good shape. I had to put about $1,500 into a new clutch system and tyres to get it on the road and it has all the normal old landy issues, but it gets me to work 5 days a week.
Its a 109 3-door. I finally had the chance to look it over. Its in pretty bad shape. WHen you drive by at 50mph at 50 yards, it looks good. Upon closer inspection, the frame is rusted completely through in multiple spots. I'm talking large gaping holes you could fit you arms through.Quote:

Bummer b/c it looks like a really cool rover.
Guy was asking $5800.
Unfortunately I did not have my digital camera with me as I looked at it during my lunch break. Sorry!
Where was this?Quote:

From the sound of it, my Rover was in far, far better shape and I paid $500 for it. I'm still getting/going to get nickle and dimed to death, and I'm not using all LR parts.
All you're going to get out of that Rover that will be salvageable are a few small parts, a VIN plate, and maybe some body panels. You can do better.
parts rover: $500
