This MAY be true but do they really test every bolt??
I would rather find a rusty seized sold bolt that will snap when you undo it than a rounded off bolt that you can't undo.

This is my views but understand evey1 is different.

The op's truck looks very well build but untill close inspection you never know.

If you're interested in it why don't you come and have a look at it! I've had the whole thing closely inspected by my friend who works for a Land Rover specialist who was more than happy with its condition.

I have also checked back through all the history @jai_landrover and I can't find any information on the roll cage. I do however have every MOT since 2005 and can only assume that the work was completed before then? I was also informed by the previous owner that it was mounted through the body on to the chassis, thankfully I've never had to test the theory although it does make a great mount for the bush guards and front/rear spot lights.

I have also done some research into what a "Q" plate stands for and found this;

"If a vehicle has to be rebuilt, say after an accident and many new or used parts have been used that it calls the identity of the vehicle into question, the vehicle needs to be registered on a 'Q' Plate. This is done through the DVLA. It does not mean that there is anything wrong with the vehicle, just that it's original identity cannot be clarified from the parts it is made from (i.e. from different vehicles) "

There is nothing dodgy about the vehicle or the sale. There is a valid V5c form in my name and an MOT showing road-worthiness which is valid until June and also states that there were no advisories. Actually, there are no advisories on any of the MOT's from 2005 apart from 2009 where it needed 2 indicator bulbs as they were showing a little white.

I am selling the vehicle because I want to save for a deposit for a house - a genuine reason for sale I think you'll agree?
 
Just see what your asking for it. I'll show my mate but his budget it nowhere near that. Good looking motor tho and I wish you well for a quick sale and a decent deposit for your house. The cage isn't legal with that notch out if it at the moment. If it was legal and log booked with a tag then it could help with the sale Just a thought if you found that it was comp legal might help you sell it and get more for it.

I never intend to run it in a comp but I can see your point. I'm honestly not sure if there is anything I can do about it though?
 
Twas just an idea thought it may be of interest in case a buyer intends on using it for comps. another string to play maybe when selling it.
 
Here is a picture of the receipts and history. The folder in the left hand side of the image is full of history too;

Thanks for the comments and advice - just trying eBay now actually....only wanted to use it as a last resort :frown:
 
I use Devon4x4 forum a bit and there alot more geared to buying and selling challenge trucks and bits.

At the moment though it seems people are breaking there trucks because you just cant get the money back for a whole complete, ready to rock and roll truck. It is a shame, after all the hard work you have put in.

I know it sucks but if you want a decent return for your money, i would break it.

All the best with the sale.
 
tbh m8 although a great looking 90 i think having looked around ebay i would say your asking £2k too much for it
you never get back what you put into a lr and i should know
depends on how much you wanna sell it you may have to lower your price its a buyers market at the mo
 
OK, price dropping to .....



£7,695

God I'm mad.

I need to start progressing with my life and this *sigh* stands in the way of my savings :(

If anyone has any questions then please don't hesitate to get in contact!!
 
I have to agree that breaking a truck like this will probably be your best bet. I have spent thousands on my 200tdi 90 and wouldnt get anywhere near that back if I sold it. The Q plate will also put people off as they usually have a chequered history, insurance write off / stolen recovered etc.
Nice truck though.
