Cheers Dicky, I'll be back at some point because I love the cars and the marque in general (despite all the recent problems). I might fit the stereotypical " it'll be bigger and badder next time" mould
but mine would see me through nicely if I could keep it.
edit because I can't spell the work mould today!

Hiya Mark, I was having a look at your motor in Johns the other day (our Fiat's brake pipe sprung a leak). Looks very, very nice. Not only will everyone hear you coming, they'll see you coming too!
Bet you can't wait to get it on the road.

Now.....having bought my wedge two years ago on trust from the previous owner who told me about it's new engine, I've finally got around to tracking down the engine number and speaking to the man who built it! It is what I thought it was!
So, do I relist it for extra £££

It Depends - If its a V8 developments or a JE Engineering jobbie then yes - Let people know.
If its a rebuilt range rover engine then no...
Is there anything special about it?
Interesting.
Personally, I would mention it and think its a good thing.
There are however many people that think originality is everything and will put a lower value on the car with a non-standard engine. In my opinion, the engine you have now is presumably better than standard so value should be more.
Unfortunately at this time of year, it is unlikely to sell unless you practically give it away. If you can wait until April, the market picks up and you should get asking price.
What engine size is yours? Still 3.5?

The car is now sold the owner gave it away for peanuts in my opinion. Perhaps the colour lets it down?

It's also the 4.6 but from what I remember of that car (it was at BBWF 2005, I think) mine's in better nick.
I don't want to let it go for that amount but I think what I'm asking is fair without having to come down any further.
I appreciate the advice; it wasn't intended to squeeze any more money out of potential buyers, just mentioned to 'consolidate' if you like, what I think is a good deal.
Cheers.
