Local dealer has a 110 part ex that they have offered me "as is" (no warranty)

l am not sure of the value. lf l don't want it they said it will probably go "to the auction" rather than them retailing it.

It's a 110 Stationwagon in the base specification (no central locking or electric windows)
Year 2000 so 10p and earlier dash.
Mileage 38,000

Ex mountain rescue so still has all the gear on it, external roll cage, chequer plate in the back, 5 vinyl seats but no side facing seats. Various lights and equipment screwed to the dash etc.

Chassis is good except for rear crossmember and mid crossmember need doing.
On rusty steels with off road tyres
Headlining and interior is acceptable but tatty from 20 year mountain rescue use.

No damage underneath.

Bubbling in rear wings, lower front wing panels ahead of doors, triangle panels behind rear doors. Doors look okay. Floors look okay.
Haven't driven it but should be okay at that mileage.
In white with mountain rescue livery.

Value?
£8,000?

l can see maybe £2,000 in chassis and bodywork repair. The external roll cage would be a pain to remove as you'd have to fill in all the holes left by the mountings.

Maybe leave it in the mountain rescue livery with the roll cage and roof lights etc. But just don't take it into the hills or else you'd keep getting stopped and asked for help lol

£8k

Maybe slightly less? eBay completed listings rather than wishful thinkers on the classifieds...

It's a slightly tatty td5 csw with some mods that would not appeal to the "I've got some money and want to drive my kids around in a landrover" crowd.

That also needs chassis work. So, yeah, I reckon less.

That said, if you do buy it, and want to flog the cage, let me know...

I would say, ask them what they took it in at, as they may have given a bit over the odds to get their sale. Then they pop it in an auction for somebody to overpay for what it is actually worth.

The rear crossmember is doable, but doesn’t the rear tub need to come off to do the mid crossmember?

No. You chop up the old one however you like to get it out, and then a take off the triangle by the c post.

Replacement cross members have the brackets that bolt on, rather than are welded on, so you can then slide them in though the triangle bit, and bolt on the brackets when they're in place.

You couldn't get a welded one in like this, but, again, the replacements are all bolted brackets for exactly this reason.

£5k given the work required.

When l did the mid crossmember on my 110 TD5, l fitted the new one by taking out the bolt-in floor panel. l had to cut the corners off two unused brackets on the top of the chassis, apparently only used on the truck cab version.

l managed to fit the four long centre bolts although l had to drill a hole right at the edge of the bodywork to get two of them in. (covered up when the floor panel was refitted)

Agreed however at auction it will go to £8k with the equipment and low mileage
