The answer is "as much as you want to spend..."
As far as I know, and I have thought about doing this for a living, 30—40k will get you a full restoration on a defender. A series I am not so sure about, but obviously I won't be a mile from that. Of course it clearly depends on the state of the car at the start, and the quality of the restoration you plan. "bang on" could, and does, mean different things to different people. I've a V8 90 I need to build and I am budgeting 15, and that's doing it myself V8 90...WIP |

Pom.
I can recommend Ben Stowe at Black Paw 4x4 near York. His daily driver is a '49 Series 1. He also drives a Camel 110 and a pre production V8 One Ten on carbs, he's restoring a 2.6 Series 2 carawagon for family holidays. The list goes on! Give him a call, I think you'll be pleased. https://www.blackpaw4x4.co.uk/contact-land...ecialisyg/ DINGO - '99 Discovery 2 V8 with 300Tdi transplant, chawton white. Repatriated from Australia and expedition prepped. **FOR SALE** SHARKY - '06 Discovery 3 HSE Auto, bonatti grey. SOLD. GEORGE - '99 Discovery 1 300Tdi Auto, willow green. Daily driver, travel companion, part of the family! SOLD. PINGU - '96 Defender 110 300Tdi station wagon. SOLD. Dream LR - 130 pop top station wagon camper. |

You want a tax-exempt Series, but as a double-cab pickup or Station Wagon and with a V8?
Could be tricky, but you could put a V8 in a SII or SIII 109" Station Wagon. Stage One V8's will be tax exempt soon (if not already). Too much alteration and you could lose tax-exemption. As said, Ben Stowe at Black Paw 4x4 can do almost anything you want. |
