So basically guys, I brought a little while ago a 1996 Defender 90 as a project.

Im thinking about selling it as I have too many projects on the go and need the space. Its the first defender I have had so unsure what they are worth.

**By the way, this is not a for sale thread... I just wonder the sort of price they go for**

The spec of the truck is.

1996 Defender 90 commercial
115k miles
300tdi
16" x 8.5j Steels all round with BFG Mud tyres
interior is stock
its recently had new wheel bearings all round
engine has full service history since new
had a full respray in metallic green less then a year ago (bodywork and pain is mint)
Mechanically the truck is faultless, everything works how it should.

the only downside is the chassis needs a fair bit of welding. there are 6 patches which need welding, no bigger then 15cm long. (the worst) most parts are much smaller. Its all at the rear end by the cross member so I was going to just replace the rear cross member down to the suspension.

Just after a rough ball park figure, I understand its hard without photos.

I saw one go on Ebay recently with a chassis which was completely gone for £2700. But open to opinions... if the prices are too low ill just replace the cross member and get it MOT & Taxed.

I've attached the only pic I have at work.

Someone I know sold a 2001 110 TD5 which needed a chassis on ebay a month or so ago for £3250, but that needed bodywork too.

Though I think they might sell for more around here. I paid £4000 for mine inc vat, but it was off my parents. Probably a bit too much thinking about it!
 
nice, fair enough. Yeh this doesn't need a full chassis, If I had the time I would patch it up. the bits are easy to get to and none of the bits are around the outriggers.

Thanks for the advice though. I may pop it on ebay soon and see what I get for it.
