Found on a farm...

[DaveL485]

....not sure if its of any worth to anyone but I saw this at the weekend.









Is it worth saving? I mean, I wont, but I get the feeling it wouldnt be hard to get your hands on it.
I believe its a 1976, FWIW.

I'll have it!!!...along with the tractor

Where abouts in the Country is it?

If the chassis is good then maybe, and convert to a 200/300tdi engine.

I bought back a 109 just like this one that I owned 20 years ago, sight unseen. It had a rotten chassis though and I sold it on for what I paid, I didn't know about the chassis as I hadn't spotted it, and my wife was unforthcoming with restoration funds I got frustrated and had to flog it on. I sold it to a USAF colonel who spend another £7k restoring it and shipped it to Texas.

So for what you might end up spending on this get a nice 110 CSW TD5 instead.

It's not too far from Aberystwyth in the land of sheepshaggers and leeks.
If you want more pics or info on a possible sale price (I get the feeling it won't be much) or to even make an offer or go see it, PM me and I'll set you up. Otherwise it'll sit there forever.

You may get £500 or so for it as a project, probably more if you break it!

Those rear doors are rare, i bet they're fked though

If they're not too I'll give you £200 for them both!

I've asked for pics of the back doors close up. Will post them here when I get em!

[Lefty]

You can email them to me if you like, [e-mail]

Ok- more info.

Chassis is a replacement, not original (which I assume is a good thing). Minter than mint at the front, but possibly an MOT failure at the back. Might need a new crossmember. Bulkhead is a rare 6 cylinder and front axle has massive drums & shoes, same as the stage 1 V8. (Axle is not on car, obviously). The swivels are completely unmarked and had leather gaiters till he cut them off to see the swivels (oops). Likely been restored in previous life hence the chassis replacement. Safari double skin roof.

Note: Owner is inclined to keep front axle short of a reasonable offer. Also, the paint job was not quite as good as it could have been, but then it is now a full resto project lol!

Make us an offer! Otherwise it'll sit there until its a pile of dust, and I hate seeing that happen

He says the doors are good.

What would I look for if they were 'bad'?

is that a renault 21 turbo behind?

Yep. Well, 21 Turbo Quadra, the 4wd version. Good spot that man! One of 3 Quadra there and the reason I was there in the first place.
Two already have new homes and we've talked the owner into turning the rather trashed, knackered one in the pic into a trackday hoon toy Its been sat there with no n/s back door exposed to the elements for 5 years

Open to offers on the tractor too, apparently

[tomw2000]

Most of that will t-cut out?

/*will get my coat.

[Woody3]

If I was on the West side of England, I'd snap your hand off, but unfortunately I'm not . These sort of finds are never less than a 100 miles away from me

LOL.

Whatever though, I dont care much for Landy's. I was there to save some Renaults, I only posted it to see if anyone wanted to steal it for a measly few quid. Guess not!

[DaveL485]

No interest at all then?

Pity!
