Down here in Aus, an owner has his Heritage 90 for sale at $95,000. ..What would that be in English pounds?....I might add that he hasn't sold it yet?
Pickles.

Thought he had sold it!

I can definitely see how the limited editions will sell at more than the original price. Good luck to the owners who were quick enough to see that opportunity... lots more will be going to keeper homes however!

Anything almost new is selling / being advertised over list in the UK.

Here's a 90SW which has just appeared privately for £40K. Actually it's not a physical car - anticipated end of November.

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Santorini Black

I've been a Morgan enthusiast and Morgan Sports Car Club member for just short of 50 years and have witnessed first hand the ups and downs of the marque. From the late '60's and '70's when they were difficult to sell, to the '80's and '90's where the waiting list went up to a staggering 9 years. I took delivery of a 1990 Plus 8 straight from the factory and called in at a local dealer to buy some goodies for it. The dealer offered to buy the car from me for list price plus 30%. I didn't sell the car, in fact I've still got it 25 years later. I've had 25 years of pleasure from the car and it's still worth more than I paid for it. But then that's the difference between a true enthusiast and a wallet flasher.

I guess we are going to see a lot more of this in the Defender World so best for us enthusiasts just to get on with enjoying our trucks and sod the rest of them with their obese wallets.

2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Corris Grey

couple of weeks back, i've found a 90 autobiography for sale for €90.000 (£63k). That's also overpriced i think.

2007 Defender 90 Other CSW Trident Green

Viewing the add it says 'This Land Rover has been sold'. So someone thought it was worth the money. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

New cars from a franchised dealer cannot be sold for greater than list price. As soon as they hit the used market there's no restriction.

I can`t believe how used prices have rocketed.

In 2012 I payed £27,750 with discount for my MY12 62 plate Black XS 90 SW.

It now has 19,000 miles on it and dealers are asking £26,995 for similar examples. A non-franchased trader bid me £22,500 for it.

I think i`d pull in £23/24 private. But I`ve decided to keep it. No other car holds it`s money like this!!!

The heritage and the black XS will look good side by side!!
