About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Paint is coming off of the wheels and rust is poking through there. Wavy bodywork. Paint is dull with lots of scratches and small chips. Underbody is dirty with surface rust on some of the suspension bits. Interior is sound and clean. This is definitely a worn old Rover, but it has a certain charm to it and doesn't look out of commission.

Market commentary

The original Land Rovers are excellent off-road vehicles with a deserved reputation for rugged performance, some of which to judge by the condition has been utilized by this one's prior owners. Even at that, though, it represents a very good value for money with a lot of potential for recommissioning to be a suburban landowner's prized possession.
