Land Rover lightweight....whats it worth?
suggs:
howdie mate
my honest opinion is the roof isnt doing you any favors even though it was exspensive, there is defo a market for Lightweights but it tends to be the army fans that will pay top money for a genuine ex services truck, especialy if its fitted for radio etc etc.
i dont think anyone will pay extra for that hood but ive seen lightweights go for £750-£5000. i bought one in a very similar condition to yours and had the same wheels but a standed hood, i payed £1600 for it but that was about 7yrs ago and from a mate.
id be tempted to stick the hood on eblag and see what happens, then try to pick up a cheap original roof or an aftermarket bikini roof etc give it a paint up and maybe try it at £2500.
that said when i had mine i fitted a bikini roof, 33/12.5 mud tyres etc etc, ended up doing a swop with a army fan about a year later who wanted to put it back to full milly spec, we done a straight swop for a mint 3.9 Vouge SE that i then sold for £3500 but again that was 6yrs ago when classic Rangies still made that money
i saw the lightweight a few years later at Billing full camo'd up with full Army kit fitted, looked the nutts and was probley worth about 5k then to the right person..

Cheers mucker :grin:
I'll get shot of the hood and wheels, and give her a splash of paint.
I'll find a second hand hood and set of wheels and see what happens.
Would the hood thats on it at the moment fit other landies?
suggs:
fairly sure that standed hoods on 88 inch series landys and lightweights are the same, yours looks to be a bespoke hood but theres a good chance it will fit..
i think you may get a nice few quid for that on eblag, not sure i would show pics of it fitted though just pics of it off the truck...
you could paint the wheels black, would look better..

Now if you fancy swapping it for a 3,9 Vogue SE I just happen to have one......
....but somehow I think lightweights have held their money a bit better than RRC :(

weeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy stratie dude were ya been :shock: defo go down the route of putting a standard tilit back on it :cool: and also it might be worth trying to find some original wheels and tyres too :P but i would say if she is mint then 3k + ;) as i have been looking at light weights but that will be for next year. Good to see you back on the forums :D and good luck with the sale.
