1973 Land Rover 88...FRAME OFF RESTORATION

[jac04]

Any chance of seeing a series truck on a rotisserie?

If you are serious buyer, then yes.

Philip-
The guys are having some fun with you. In case you didn't know, a Series Land Rover does not lend itself to a "rotisserie" restoration - it's just not built like that. I've restored/refurbished 4 Land Rovers, so I'm aware of what it takes.

Anyhow, you have insinuated that this vehicle is similar in quality to a Lanny Clark restoration, and that it has been given a "Rotisserie Restoration" to "Original". Now, when statements like that are made, you have to expect that people are going to point out some of the inconsistencies they see between your statements and the one picture provided.

Constructive criticism:
1) When trying to sell a high-end vehicle on an on-line forum, it is always best to post many pictures - both sides, front, back, engine, interior, gauges, etc. Land Rover aficionados will also want to see all parts of the chassis, bulkhead, floors, doors, etc.
2) Provide a fairly complete list of all the work performed & the parts used (Genuine or aftermarket). Focus on the real highlights of the restoration, not things like tires, jerry cans, jack and roof rack.
3) People shopping for a restored Land Rover don't want to see something along the lines of 'contact me for more info'. They want all the info right in front of them to determine if they are interested. Basically, if you are trying to sell a $65k vehicle, at least put a little effort into it.
4) Lose the "completely serviced" statement. It makes you sound like you're selling a generic used car, not a world-class restoration.

If you are serious buyer, then yes. The Land Rover is actually in Vermont now. Leave me your number and when you would like to see it, and I can make arrangements.

Not to be a word nazi but Rotisserie is spelled wrong. Also photos of work done would help.

Looks like a solid truck. I think the problem is a restoration means it's "restored" to a previous factory condition. This truck is not. perhaps you need to advertise it as a renovation or a rebuild. I don't think Lanny Clark would paint the parts that are supposed to be galvanized and call it restored. Just be honest about what you have and you might get a better response.

First of all, my name isn't CHIEF!!! It's Philip! Yes it s a Frame Off Restoration and done quite nicely! No the frame was not replaced. Yes the windows are tinted. If you are serious about buying, I urge you to see it firsthand! If you have any questions, feel free to call me. Thank You!

[themotormasters]

Sorry about that! Thanks for the correction...no offense taken!! I can send you photos of what I have. The only ones I don't have are the underneath, which I can get. It is a Consignment vehicle so I will have to contact my client for some. All I need is an email address.

[themotormasters]

For $65K you will need to post much better pictures and come up with a better description than:



What all did you do to the truck?

This is a Consignment Vehicle out of New York, NY. We didn't do any of the restoration. When we do Consignments, we sell Quality Restored Vehicles. All the work was done by the owner and he has all the records. I do have more pics available upon request. All I need is an email address.

Not to be a word nazi but Rotisserie is spelled wrong. Also photos of work done would help. Right now this looks like a quick flip of new frame, new engine, paint and a lube job.

Pump the brakes here chief. Restoration usually means put back to factory condition, and I'm not sure I would use that word to describe this truck. One must contemplate if these really rolled off the production line with painted trim and windshield frame, a spare tire thats not the same tread pattern, two pairs of mirrors, and a brownchurch roof rack. Was the frame replaced? Are those tinted windows I see?

Tires and jerry cans are things any one can buy, regardless of what condition their rover is in. You might want to post a description with a little more details about the truck and what's been done to it.

Good luck with the sale!
