I went and looked at a friends early 60's 109" which he is selling for around $9k. It has been sitting for about 5 years and needs brakes so I wasn't able to test drive it.
Goods from my brief inspection:
Never painted so nothing is hidden
Always been in the bay area, frame should be ok
Over $20k in receipts for work done to the engine and mechanically over the last 10 years
Engine sounded strong
Overdrive
Body is in overall good shape, some fender damage and one door ding, and something on the rear left corner
Bads from my brief inspection:
Brakes need work so I couldn't drive it
Needs paint just about everywhere
Surface rust on a lot of stuff
Will need door panels, some window gaskets etc
Will need some seats, but a lot are ok
What should I look for when I go back and take another look? Any thoughts on pricing as I am very new to these old rovers. Thanks!
