I was at a classic rally (with my stationary engine) recently & one of the blokes who sells bits has a metal landrover radiator grille. Question --How much do they sell for in o.k. condition? He's asking £50 for his which to me seems a BIT dear. He's had it for a few rallies now so i think it's well over the top. Am i right ?
How much for a grille ?

for what vehicle???? some toe rag stole my lightweight metal grill and they do make silly money, likewise early series 1 grills, suppose its worth what someone will pay, after a glass mini washer bottle went for over £500 on two occasions theres 'nowt as queer as folk'

What engine do you have?
Sorry to hear about your grille. I sometimes think the worlds full of thieving bastards. I have to remind myself that most people are decent honest folk. I hope the thieving git dies of something nasty.

I wanted an early 80" grill for my project but they fetch over £100 so I thought I would by some latter grills and make one but they fetch good money aswell so then I thought I would buy some mesh to make one but I can't find a vendor of flat wire woven mesh. Silly thing is back in the 1980's they were dirt cheap every body took them off and fitted a series 3 grill.

Your right about that one being over priced , you should be able to get a series II metal grill for £25

For some bizzare reason beyond my comprehension fitting a tacky piece of plastic to the front of a Landy was considered an 'upgrade'
Not sure i havn't got it back here yet. I'm rearanging vehicles trailers etc trying to make room.

You've answered my question on the price of the grille as well. I was planning on fitting a series 2A front with the wire mesh grille to my Series 3.
I found the series 2A front (minus the grille) out behind my work (no idea why it was there). It needs a bit of work to repair some rust holes but it is better than the one that's on there.
I actually think the metal wire grille looks alot better than the plastic thing.

A friend of mine is welding up the front panel. It was actually in quite good nick after shot blasting. Everything else but the bottom strip was solid.
I looked on ebay and all of the grilles that were on there are for the Series 2 with the lights on the front panel.
How easy is it to get the 2A grilles that were designed for when the lights had been moved to the wings? I would have thought these would be less common as the 2A wasn't made for that long.

The 2A maltese cross grilles go for £50-60 quid as they are rarer, and therefore harder to get hold of. I'm putting my 2A back to original with a razor edge bonnet and the wire grille because some numpty changed them for the deluxe bonnet and the plastic monstrosity
