Evening all,
looking to get an idea on value and then advertise three rare Land Rovers (two series ones and a 110) owned by my father in law, where's the best place to do this (apart from PH of coursewink)- there seem to be an endless selection of LR forums according to Google!
Much appreciated,
Chris

The PH LR forum in fairness is more of a spin-off rather than main stream as LRs do not fit the PH theme quite as well as other marques.

I would suggest LR4x4.com

You will need to be very specific and detailed with your description of the vehicles as those who would be interested will be very knowledgeable. Some may be very keen on how original the vehicles are. If they are in a 'Barn find' type of condition it is better to leave them where they are and not attempt to clean them up just take loads of photos.

A piece in Landrover Owner International magazine recently suggested that EBAY can be a better bet than some of the specialist auctions.

Excellent, thanks for the advice Steve. Had wondered if eBay might be the way to go but not sure what sort of ballpark figure to set the reserve at.

They are all pretty much barn find condition (without the barn for protection sadly!) so will send out the f-i-l with his camera.

Cheers,

Chris

When you have the photos go onto LR4x4 and ask what they think the price will be. There is a 'series' specific forum so the guys on there should know and you will be well accepted.

Steve

PS Post the photos here as well. Not met anyone yet who does not like to look at barn finds.

LR4x4 is a good suggestion. Also the Land Rover International magazine forums (they went through a wobbly patch when they kept annoying the members a while back when they ran into a series of platform problems but it seems to be back on a stable and active footing again). http://www.lro.com/forum/

http://forums.lr4x4.com/  - very technical forum, less banter, more knowledge.

http://www.LRO.com  - recovering forum banter and knowledge, but not as specialist as LR4x4

http://LRBoards.com  - banter and knowledge, possibly more biased towards banter and the social aspect of LR's

In my opinion, LRO would be the place to advertise rarities, possibly along with LR4x4.
