Hi there I've got one of these Hard Top Defender 90s (well my company has) and it's time to sell. (France move imminent). Was thinking of putting it on PH, but I'm having a real hard time valuing it. Can anyone help me out with a realistic valuation or give me pointers?

It's a 2004 Defender 90 TD5 hard top / ~60k miles. Just MOT'd. Full history.
Silver. Rear bench seats/belts in back by Nene Overland. Alive Tuning remap + EGR Bypass. Air con. Heated seats (lovely!) . Heated Screen. Part leather seats. Side runners and checkerplate step tops. XS Half leather seats. CD. Remote Central locking with Alarm. Full headlining. Full rubber loadspace matting . Leccy windows. New front mats. Boost Alloys. 2 newish tyres (usual Grabber M+S). XS Cubby box. Clear indicator sets. SIlver headlight surrounds and grille. County roof windows. Body Coloured wheel arches and roof. Removable animal guard. Front bar.

Essentially it's an XS station wagon spec in a hardtop.
Great condition throughout. Not off-roaded, no dents, bends or scrapes.

It looks pretty much like and has most of this http://www.defenderxtech.com/spec.html
No issues with it - just done MOT. Minor 1" cut in driver seat leather and passenger door needs adjustment. If I was keeping it i'd change all the tyres for something chunkier. I love it but move forces sale. Full pictures coming soon.

If anyone can point me to a realistic valuation / site i'd appreciate.
Cheers

Not sure of an exact value, but adding seats to a van makes it seem like a poor man's attempt at an XS, which won't exactly add value.

… seats were ever meant to add value. I needed a van first, with a very occasional requirement for passengers in the back. These fold up and are of course removeable.

Well yeah, that's sort of what I was getting at. Someone looking for six/nine seats will be looking for a fully fledged XS/CSW and anyone looking for a van will want.....a van.

I see what you mean. So you're saying price it as a van then? Which, yes i was going to do that

£11,999-12,999 would be a good starting point.

Little bit off topic,but,my Landy is a van with a single seat in full County spec otherwise,it was like this from the factory.Actually a limited edition (Braemar) so shows there is a market for such a vehicle.

Well yes, but then someone looking for a van won't want seats (removable or not)

I would look at price of a standard similar millage age county van and pitch it about £1500 above
