Noo I don't, well I do but it's further down my list! This RRC was just lovely and full of character. Got to £8,900 but didn't reach its reserve.

Thought I might have struck gold when a friend on holiday found this in the barn, but not for sale. Apparently, number 4 off the production line?! Shocked

Quite a nice find but looking at the rear cross member back body, tailgate and the bulkhead it looks later and #4 is out in Oz AFAIK.

Interesting, do you think I should tell them? Whistle They've had it since 1976!

What do we think of this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323289599166?ss...rmvSB=true

I like what he's done to the dash.

All barn finds are "number 4 off the production line" Laughing


If you are really asking what I think of the blue thing, I think horrible.

But others will like it..... Thud

If you are spending hard-earned cash on a Series, go for as original as possible (certainly as original looking as possible).

When you come to sell it you will have more potential buyers and an easier sale.

The blue thing has potential. Sliders off, lightbar off... Start from there.

I think Minervas are still good value. I was never that keen on the steel body but they have grown on me over the years possibly something to do with the fact that a 1952/3 80in Land Rover is probably around three or four times the price of a similar year / condition Minerva. If I was looking for a soft top and had a budget of £5-7K then a Minerva would be high on my list.

I Think that belongs to Peter Wales aka LuLu?

Like you say, quite a good buy for the money, and probably sourced by the Houbens, so should be a good one Thumbs Up 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

I agree they are still relatively affordable, different and useable. Getting an original base vehicle is the best option I think and a Minerva would fit that bill. 2010 XS USW
