The local Land Rover know all neighbour was telling me yesterdat that prices of L322s will plummet with the intoduction of the new car.

He may be right, certainly older ones are quite cheap.

Looking at adverts on line, am I right in thinking prices for Classics and P38s are rising?

A couple of years ago, I came quite close to buying a V8 Classic, Vogue SE in OK nick for not much more than I had in my wallet and wife's purse at the time. One of those filling stations that sells used cars. Decent car, long MOT, recent service, for less than a grand.

I was tempted but lack of space would have meant saying bye bye to one of my other cars.

Now I have fewer cars, and a lot more space.......Who knows.

Decent Classics appear to be more expensive now. Late model, high spec P38s are mixing in L322 territory now.

Yes. I used to get KRO magazine back in the 1990s. Classics were bobtailed left right and centre.

Maybe I should have bought that ine a couple of years ago.

How bad are P38s? Apart from looking like an off road Talbot Horizon, they seem cracking value.

I have heard that. Had a mate with a V8. He only used it for pulling a horse box and snow bound transport. He was lucky that his local village garage understood and liked them, so solutions were never far away and never earth shatteringly expensive.

I had an MGF at the time which had the odd minot fault, nothing major. He described his P38 as a four wheel drive MGF. I guess he had a point.

Surely the later P38s can't be that bad?
