1967 SIIA LW109 (What's my rig worth these days?)

[Bertha]

Ted, I would suggest an appraisal from Matt Brown at Overland Engineering in Elliot, Maine.

One thing to note in regards to insurance appraisals is that insurance companies will only accept an appraisal from a company/person licensed to appraise cars.

Hello all;
There's a looooong story to this question but in brief, what kind of market & value does my truck have these days?

Here's a few pics & due to the time a detailed description will be added this week.

Thanks,

Mark

Hey Mark:

Sorry about the thread hijack! My bad.......

Can you post some Interior fotos? Especially of the dash.

That's one handsome sled.

Whats with the red paint under the hood?

[stomper]

Awww, you ruined it with the red paint. Now it isn't worth anything. I guess you better cut your losses and sell it to the highest bidder at $1150.

But seriously, to fetch high dollar prices, like Orvis did, it would have to be a perfect representation as it arrived from the factory.

My recommendation would be to place it in LRX, and the other usual places, and put a list price of $22,000. See if you get any interest. Plan on actually selling it for $20,000. This is assuming the frame is clean and rust free. Otherwise, all bets are off.

You know, I thought it was odd myself when I bought it. The guy I bought it from said that he wanted to dress it up a bit without adding the chrome stuff. I have done nothing to this rig since I bought it except drive it. It's one of 7 vehicles I own & never sees any daylight except when I need to clean the garage. I bought it to use to drive the kids to school & run around town but just never got around to it. I mainly have used it to shuttle the kids to the local park & back. Quite a shame actually.

As far as the frame & rust issues...there are none. Having been in a climate controlled storage for well over 15+ years & never being driven regularly, the only things needing attention are the wearables (IE: hoses, seals, etc...)

Here are a few pics of her bottom...

BTW... being new to this, what the heck is Orvis, LRX, and all the "usual" places to go to sell it if that's what I decide to do? Sounds pretty retarded but I'm a newbie here.

Orvis is an old hunting / outdoor goods company from VT. They recently sold a 1962 109 with huge price. Beautiful rover....but the price tag was crazy, I think it went for $65K....but they threw in some Battenkill luggage, so it was a deal, HA.

LRX= Land Rover Exchange, a place to buy & sell all things rover.

Good luck....beautiful rover by the way.

Take care.

All you guys are the best! Good info will help me decide what to do in 2010.
For some reason, I cannot post any more pics. I guess we're only allowed so much storage on this site? I guess I'll have to delete some first pics & upload the undercarriage stuff after.

Oh well, I guess I'll stick to text then.

Hi there,

What is the object located above the rear view mirror? And the thing located just below the speedometer, near the VIN plate?

I believe the plastic box (above the rv mirror) houses the alarm system. I've never used it though.
There are 2 things under the speedo you can be talking about. One is a manual choke that has a black handle & teeth. The second thing that you can be talking about is the rear light switch that activates the rear lights when putting trans into reverse.

I hope this helps.
