Hello all,
Sorry to be a pest and ask again. The last one was sold just as I was going to take a look at it.

I found this one, about $17,000USD.

https://articulo.tucarro.com.co/MCO-977406838-land-rover-santana-1967-clasico-_JM

It is historic plated in Colombia, meaning it has been inspected to meet a certain percentage of authenticity etc. by a third party.
Three owners. Current owner did the restoration work over the course of the last three years when he owned it. Original owner had it many years, second owner a couple and now the current owner for about three.

Owner claims new electrical system, brakes, injection system, new seats and canvas.

Any idea value for similar in North America?

Its probably a good price for North America as they seem willing to pay good money for old landrovers. It looks like it has had some welding done on the chassis or it might just be the photo. What percentage of it is original according to the historical plate? Do the restoration records show what work was done on the engine, gearbox, axles, etc.

Thanks. It scored 98.6% as original when qualifying as a classic here locally. I’ll see the papers Monday and should have a full picture of all work done then.

Would not trust any photo's of vehicle on line unless you want to be scammed go and look is the only option and request documentation

Looks nice, though i don't like the matt paint finish.
I'd want a good inspection of any chassis/bulkhead repairs.
Why have the last 2 owners sold so quickly?

Thank you. Going to see it tomorrow, will inspect thoroughly. Current owner was the one to restore it (and says he has the papers to show it). He’s a well-to-do lawyer that is moving out of the country in March (I’ve verified these aspects).
