Where to sell a classic Land Rover?
Discussion
I have a '75 Series 3 LR for sale, and I must admit I know nothing about the market for them! Currently have it advertised on Car and Classic mostly because it was free.
Autotrader?
PH?
eBay?
Gumtree?
Where is the kind of person that wants a 40 year old Land Rover (or any classic) likely to look?

I'm seriously looking at the moment (and am localish to you, too)... Which one on C&C is it?
So, from a potential buyer's p-o-v...
I hadn't even considered PH or Gumtree, for different reasons. A series doesn't strike me as prime PH-ad-fodder, and Gumtree is scam-eejit central.
C&C has a few, but not very many at all - and, thanks to one utter oxygen-thief of a vendor - I'm having "issues" with their premium phone number mullarkey at the mo.
LRO's website initially looked promising, but I've written that off completely after every single one I phoned up about turned out to be LOOOONG since sold - no dates on the ads, and apparently no rush to remove 'em. I've not really found any other good sources of enough ads to be worth trolling through. I'm kinda assuming that vendors of ones worth buying have done their homework on where to sell. Am I missing out on bargains? Possibly.
Right now, eBay is looking like the most fruitful and sensible source of ads.

Right, there only seems to be one 1970s Land Rover in Glos at the mo. An ex-RN 109" 1-ton, "trade". If that IS you, then - honestly - give yourself a damn good slap, then go out and take some halfway sensible photos. That ad makes me want to run a mile - easily the shonkiest "trade" ad I've ever seen.
If it isn't, then you need to sort out why it's not easily findable. If it's a solid 88" for about ~£2500ish, then drop me a line, because I'm very interested...

It is that one - I know the photos aren't great, working on it!
So, umm, are you trade, then? Because if not - you might want to correct that on the ad, too.Credit card and PX suggests you really are, though I guess this isn't your usual stock?
Reading through the ad in more detail, £2k seems a bit strong, especially for a 109. Have you had a good look to see what you're selling against at that money...?
I am trade and it isn't anything like my usual stock - I have no proper storage for it so it's being kept on a mate's driveway (hence the dodgy photos from my crappy camera - the charger for the one I normally use to take photos has given up)
I was planning on restoring it but realised I don't know the first thing about them and wouldn't do it justice - and don't have the time/space.
