Series 3's

[vixpy1]

I've been offered 3 Series 3's (ex mod) cheap.. and i mean really cheap. I have no idea what these things are worth.. assume they are in average condition, though i know the Chassis are sound..

So... what would they be worth?

Are we talking really cheap - as in 3 for 1K ?

What kind of SIII ? Pic's are always good.

Also look for a sort of duck-egg blue paint on the engine - this means its been reconditioned.

Most MOD series 3s have good chassis as the army undersealed them from new.

If they have Mot and are in as good a nick as you say they are, you should get a grand each for them.

All MOD engines are painted blue including armour,so a duck egg blue block is not a recon.

Check rear cross member and outer riggers even though they have been undersealed any lifting of the underseal traps water.Also check the bulk head for rot and footwells.If its 24 volt expect to pay a premium for bulbs and plugs.
