Estimate is £19 - £21k Restoration is an expensive business, but does this estimate seem optimistic fo an S3? |

I have to say that that one does look stunning, at least superficially it is better than new, and if the bits you can't see are as good as those you can it has had a lot spent on it.
Personally I think it is a shame that it has been fitted with the "export" style tilt with the hideous (and fragile) side windows, it would look much better with the traditional tilt, but that is an easy change to change (and probably wouldn't bother most people anyway). As Ian says, an interesting one to watch. |

The detail is superb, it’s been a painstaking restoration and IMO if it could be bought at that estimate would be a good buy. Just think of the man hours and parts cost that’s gone into it.

The good thing going for it, is not many people rebuild 3s to that standard, so it is quite uneque,
if your after a top notch 3, this could be the one. I would love to see it make the 20k mark!  80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

That is lovely, no chance that'll go for £5k then! James

You've got to admit it does look good. I agree with Blackwolf about the tilt though. Let's see if it breaks the 20k barrier

Someone has taken a bit of care over that.
(Assuming SIII's had that brake fluid reservoir). The problem with value is that it is a Series III. Use it, scratch it or let it lose that out-of-the-box look, and it will be just another SIII. However there are a lot of "I bought it because I could" people about, who don't necessarily obsess about value. Please tell us what it makes! |

That is lovely just what I want next to add to fleet, but way out of my price range

Those wheels and tyres ruin it for me. Obviously new Defender take-offs, even showing the poor over-spray on the spare. Some proper Avon Traction Mileage would set that off a treat.

Does anyone know where the tailgate mat comes from? I can see it says autograph on it.
I quite fancy modifying one for my series one. 🙂 |
