Have I got a bargain?

Spacemud:
Bought this 109 safari off ebay for £127 (it was in the parts section!). First registered March 1973, so I'm hoping it'll be tax exempt, no brakes but started ok and drove on to the trailer no problem. Bodywork looks fine, bushes need replacing, needs a new skylight.

What do you reckon, what's the potential problems???

Spacedust:
I think you know what you should do if you want to live in the house and not the Land Rover!!!! [-X

You have a discovery and might have a series 2 if you paint this one pink for me!!!!!! :(biglove):

Rich_P:
The image won't load for me, sadly.

Two most critical things to look out for on these Series vehicles, is the chassis and bulkhead.  You might be lucky in that it is tax exempt, but it would only be tax exempt if you could prove it was built and used prior to 1973.  If it was built prior to 1973 but used in 1973, then it is no tax exemption on this vehicle.

What engine is it?

Spacemud:
It's a petrol, it's a 2.4 (and a bit), I think. Definately 4 cylinder.................cuz there ain't 6! :roll: Not messed about with as far as I can see.

defenderdan:
It must be a 2 1/4  2286cc if it has the original engine
