Thats crazy, how old are you??

I was paying about £60 on average for fully comp on my series vehicles on a limited mileage classic policy with the various insurers that advertise in the landrover mags

I was in my 30s with zero no claims but living in a low risk area

Brian the Sn@il:
£60 fully comp !!

To be honest i haven't looked into the insurance on the series 3 yet

But i have full no claims and am ( 37)  going on 21 ;)

crazymac:
Things have changed since I was paying this, but the crime in Pembrokeshire is thankfully still low, the landy was kept in a garage and limited to 3000 miles a year (this is easy to get around if you find yourself close to going over) and was my second car (according to insurance anyway!!)

One thing to note however is that on a classic policy you usually accrue no no claims discount!! so be careful you don't loose all that no claims!!

TechnoTurkey:
£110 fully comp on the Series 3 for me and £140 for the V8..

If you want a Series 3 LWB give me a shout as mine is up for grabs.

Having had a few Disco's, a Range Rover, and now only drive a SIIa - you can tell a lot by the condition of the dashboard (as in the front bit of the interior). If it has been messed about with or is excessively rusty then I wouldn't bother as it indicates (to me) a vehicle that has had a period of neglect.

You can weld so you will know whether the chassis is worth much work.

As said earlier, parts are cheap, so the odd brake cylinder or exhaust here or there shouldn't be too much of a problem, but expect to spend around £500 extra to get it to your standards anyway.

Insurance for me on 'classic vehicle' (worth £200 in  :lol: points alone) is £110 fully comp for the year. I am 44 though  :?  

Driving a Series gets you the Land Rover wave from any 'moded' Land Rover though, whether yours is moded or not  \:D/
