[E31Shrew]

Just wondering if this is really a sure fire 'gold bar' investment!

lol

if it has an overdrive I would buy it simply for that... than scrap the rest.

"look carefully..its not a big job"

there's f. all left!

Judging by the police bh boys comment, shells with holes in the roof are more valuable?

Apparently it is "actually a real easy restoration" - apparently the seller is blind? I liked this quote though:

"White, utterly F*@#ed Range Rover Corpse for Sale" would be a more accurate description.

Like gold, it's losing value by the minute.

Currently 99p, too expensive!

That needs scrapped, urgently.

Knew a mechanic that used to work on both police cars and bikes, and his advice was to give them as wide a berth as possible, They were generally bashed, smashed, kerbed, and run within an inch of their lives 24/7 depending on location. They were told to service them as minimally as possible, so as to just keep them running, then fix as appropriate, when anything serious occurred. They dont sell that cheaply too, when you look around at what else is available for the same asking price. Not worth it.

I agree. 99p could get me something useful. Or tasty.

He's tried selling that a couple of times now, dont know why there has not been much interest.

Well its such a sure fire thing that it has been readverstised a few times I think
Its a junker, fit for export to China to make some tin toys from

I fail to see how this is not 'a big job'. Scrap it and be done with it. End of.

If it's scrap value is worth more I;d pay 0.99p for it, but I;m not sure it is.

IIRC last year I got £40 for a 5dr RRC, which included collection. I reckon mine was in better condition that that one as well (admittedly it had no roof, doors, bonnet, engine, gox, t/box, wheels, interior etc lol)!

Now hit £51.97 but looking for £600!!! Yikes
