My '75 109" came to me as a hard top 3 door with 3/4 rack. I bought my rover to drive around with the top off, so off it came. And now I don't think I'm ever going to put it back on.
So now I have an extra hard top, rack, sides, window top and safari door. It's all there, just as it came off my truck, with all seals, trim, etc. You could pretty much just bolt all of this stuff together and go.
Of course, I'd love to part ways with this stuff to help fund the purchase of my new bikini top and zip up door tops...but I can't seem to get a firm grip on what it might be worth...there aren't a ton of these lying around in the US, and they rarely seem to change hands. I'm afraid if I just put them up on ebay someone will steal them for pennies.

The glass is all perfect and the metal is all in really good shape with few to no dents or dings and little to no rust. All of the paint is fairly good with the exception of the outside of the top, where someone had painted over the original rover limestone paint with some kind of white house paint that is flaking off. The original paint underneath is in pretty good shape--a good hard powerwashing might clean it up nicely.
The rack and ladder look almost new. I recently had to have some parts galvanized, and had them throw those in, so they now have a new and shiny coating of zink.
I'm hoping to sell it all together, the sides, top, rack, door tops, and safari door. The complete package. Ready to go. I did some quick math and came up with the following:
3/4 Rack - having just been re-galvanized, this part is like new. The cheapest galvanized rack sold by our host is about $1100 (http://www.roversnorth.com/Land-Rover-Parts/18), so I'd love to get about $800.
Top and sides - a vented top like this one with vents in good shape and sides with good seals and windows is not something you see very often. Could I get $800 for it as well?
And then for the door tops and complete safari door - I'd love to see $100 for each door top and $200 for the safari door.
All together that gets me to $2,000. I'd really like to sell it all as one lot, but as I need the proceeds to further my rover project, I cannot give it away for a song. I'm guessing $2k is wishful thinking...anybody venture to guess what this stuff is actually worth?
