Hi Thanks for the replies.
I'll give Morris Leslie a look, maybe get an opinion, Alan. Thanks for that info.

I know the Landie isn't going to make me a fortune as it isn't even close to being a proper restoration.
I always refer to it as a 'rebuild' for that reason. I just do know it's a decent quality rebuild and want a fair price for it being just that. I think it falls into a category where it would suit an enthusiast who wants one to actually use as they would have been. It's above the tatty ones that the mud pluggers are looking for and below the true restorations that the 'collectors' seek to have. A price of £8k was suggested to me by a passer by who stopped and came back after seeing it on my drive. He had an interest in older vehicles and described it as a 'very nice rebuild'. The insurance were happy to insure it for an agreed valuation of £8k too.
I had a numpty in a Toyota Hilux tell me it 'must be worth £25k' but he declined to buy it. 😜
Personally I think around £7 to 7.5k would be nice. 😋 I know I'm going to find out anyway.
I really appreciate the info / thoughts from you all though.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'll let you all know how it goes.
Could be useful for others in the future too

Hi Dave ,
It's john the one with the blue s3 , sorry to hear your not good health wise and know this must be a heart breaker for you to have to sell, I know from meeting you and seeing all the work you put into getting her on the road had been done to a high standard , nothing was botched or stuck together no filler to hide anything and each part had been serviced,fix or replaced as new I knew coming away that day I was very jealous of your skills and workmanship on her. I would add that what spent is nothing bar the total time you put in is priceless. I have seen a lot on flea bay and advertised all over and realistically speaking 8-12 k is a great figure to get for her but I wouldn't settle for anything less than 7-8k .
Scottish buyers are not as keen to purchase than our English counterparts are and round the midlands buyers seem to come out of the woodwork to buy quality such as yours is.
There is not one Landrover restored in this country that hasn't had its own personal touch done to it by its owner that everyone will like, that's what's makes each and everyone of them unique in there own right.
From the rivet counters to the daily driver these are a loved vehicle so I truly hope that you find a new owner who will appreciated all the time you have spent getting her back on the road and the hard work and buy it for that and not the price of parts and see the value of the history of your build as I saw.
I hope that you post good news soon and a buyer comes your way soon .
I hope you and your wife have a healthly new year and sorry to hear that you have to sell her please once I get mine running again shout if you ever want a shot or drive as a co driver in any of the events I be happy to have you with me.
Cheers
John
