They really are expensive, are they the best? some of there Classics are over £100k
I wonder what a full restoration would cost from them?

I've often looked at ads for totally restored vehicles and wondered what their definition of totally restored is. If I was going to do a full restoration of my 109 station wagon and do as much of the work as possible myself, I reckon the final cost would be in the region of £20k that would include having the engine, gearbox, transfer box and diffs professionally overhauled and a professional respray. If you gave the same vehicle to a restorer and asked for the same spec the cost would be at least double that. At the end of it all you would have a nice vehicle that was worth less than half of what you'd spent £100k for a properly restored Classic rangerover sounds about right.

I had a look at them at the Bicester Landrover meet, I would be very surprised if you get any change from 100K for a classic rebuild. If you go restomod then I would think £150K plus would be more like the price range.
The blue body shell they had on show there , freshly painted had a nice set of finger prints visible in the paint.....something to remember the guy who rebuilt it by.
Now the JIA Chieftan , that looks like a nice motor for sub 200K...LOL
Cheers

Well in my case Hobble on by. Doesn't have the same ring to it thoughEasy for you to say.
I read one of their build logs a while back, the acid dipped every metal part to get back to absolute bare metal, then worked on repairing it all. Not a lot of original metal left, arguably a new car. After a few customer upgrades were added that car was valued at a few grand over 200k.
