1993 Defender 110 2.5 n/a Diesel ST Galway Green

Whats it worth ?

I am considering selling my 130 but due to the fact that its a bespoke vehicle i have no idea where to pitch it price wise, i have a rough idea what it stands me in terms of parts but could never take into account the man hours spent on it.

Would probably be best if i pushed to get it MOTd and sell as an unfinished project. Does run and drive at the minute.

2003 Defender 130 TD5 Double Cab hi capacity pick up
Clocks indicate 80k miles but not gaurantee if original clocks or mileage
Now fitted with a Rover 4.2V8 stripped and top end rebuild plus Piper Hi Torque camshaft (£1000 in parts alone)
Automatic ZF gearbox out of a RR classic
Upgraded TDCI seats front and rear (front are heated but not wired)
Bilstien shocks x3 1 front had to be swapped out
BFG 285 75 R16 tyres MTs
Galvanised winch bumper plus Superwinch Husky winch needs overhauled
Heavy duty steering guard
Driver side has TDCI newer type doors
Bulkhead is good usual surface rust around bottom of pedal boxes etc nothing major.
Chassis does not require any welding rear section was rust treated painted with Red oxide then stone chipped when rear body was swapped
A few other little upgrades braided brake flexi galvanised bits etc. and a clatter of spares.

Please let me know your thoughts and dont worry i will not be offended i just need to get some idea what its realistically worth to the right person on the right day.

Thanks in advance

To add to the above at the moment i just dont have the time for this project, have a few debts that need settled etc. Caught up in living life

This is what still realistically needs done apart from obvious cosmetic re spray

There is some wiring that needs resolved for the clocks speedo etc. i am looking to change to older annalog clocks to resolve this get some manual senders etc for speedo.
Rear body tub needs wired
Passenger rear door needs replaced its falling to bits
Swivel ball seals, bearings, brakes etc could all do with an overhaul
Was planning on swapping out transfer box to a discovery one for better gearing for the V8
Plenty of other little refurb tidying up jobs as you would expect on a Defender

The bulk or the heavy work has been done compared to where this 130 started off just needs some fine tuning and someone with a bit more time than myself

I have plenty of photos of the work that has been done. Hope this can help with trying to put some sort of value towards it.

Not sure if this would be within forum rules or not but if you have an interest in this project please PM me to discuss further.

Many thanks

If you sell now, I'm sure you'll lose a stack. Stick with it, if you have debts to settle tighten your belts in other areas and forget about the 130.... Shelve it and focus on other stuff for a while.

Sound advice Greeni one of those things you always look to get rid of whats disposable, but its also due to no time and lack of interest at the minute

Love hate relationship we all know how it is

I am in the same situation. I have a 90 TC stored at the moment. Converted to 300 auto, full cage, challenge wings, twin winches, twin lockers blah blah blah. Fully kitted up. I took it off the road for some minor maint, which I completed slowly. But have never found the inclination to put it back on the road. Now sits in the corner of the garage.
But like you, I've put so much into it and I know I'd not get much of it back, I'm hesitant to sell. I know I have to but just can't seem to make the push to sell 110 D250 SE HT
110 USW SOLD
RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it
VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys

Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD
