Given that they do not have a log book or it appears anything to prove providence perhaps the wisest guy is the land owner who waits for it to be restored then claims it is his

The DVLA website states that to transfer a plate:
You’ll need: the 11 digit document reference number from the latest V5C vehicle registration certificate (logbook) a valid credit or debit card Your vehicle must be: registered with DVLA taxed or have a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) in place within the last 5 years available for inspection From the photos I didnt spot any form of reg plate, so bit of a gamble that it might have one worth something. Also depending how long the vehicle has been buried, and I'm guessing its a long long time, it may have been deemed scraped during a system or process update, and the number sold on (if of any value). That aside I'd be intrigued to see the face of the vehicle inspectors when you turned up with the contents of a dustpan when asked to present the vehicle for inspection  2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

I would love to see all the 'bits' they end up with...
What sort of prices are the bit to make that worth while? I only spotted a few that look anything like usable? and even then they need 'sorting' |

Prices of early 80" parts are getting hard to come by now.
If the buyer has been to look at the 80" they will know what was there to be worth the investment. A few examples of recently sold items, and prices achieved...... Early oil filter canister £150+ Craddock has new old stock @£285 + vat Early oil light £150 Early Amp meter £130 Steering wheel centre and dip switch £350 2 spoke steering wheel £300 + Wiper motor £200+ Early front grille £350/£400 Early original badge £60/80 Front panel (lights behind grille) £350+ Air cleaner £400 90 degree air filter elbow £240 Don't even mention lights, fuel gauge, speedo etc Even repro stuff sells for good money. The list goes on and soon adds up to thousands of pounds. If that rear tub is any good it's worth £300/400 I've just sold a tatty one for £800! I won't tell you what I paid for a brand new one
There are a lot of people chasing the same pool of ever decreasing parts, new old stock parts are drying up, and as they get less the price starts going up. If there is a set of axles under that 80" they will probably be on long nosed diffs, again gold to someone who wants them. Have you been to Craddocks and looked in the glass display case with 80" parts in it? That will make your eyes water! 
Also, everything on a series is Dated, from electrical parts, wheels, engine parts etc, for example if you need a 5/49 rad to match your May/1949 80" You will pay top dollar to get it. 1600cc engines, and freewheel ringpull boxes command serious money, and you need a serious bank balance to make them run if they don't. It's about £4/6k now for a proper engine rebuild. Restoring one is scary!  80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Yes, 80" are more expensive to buy/restore.
86" not so much, BUT still expensive to do, some parts are tricky to get now. I struggled with mine at times, but at the end of the day it's what YOU want it to be? If you go down the concourse route where it's all got to be right, it will cost. But if you just want a bit of fun in an old Land Rover and not worried about originality it still can be done on a budget. Here's my 1956 86"

Series 1 parts and especially for 80in have gone completely crazy over the last few years. I bought a complete matching numbers 1948 model year 80in about 20 years ago for £1000 which I thought was about right, I sold it 3 years ago for a heck of a lot more. My 86in which I have owned for 25 years I bought for £150 and sold the hard top for £100, now insured agreed value for £20K.
86/88in Series 1's and their parts are generally worth less than 80in stuff, especially the early 80in, however I have seen a dramatic rise in values of all Series 1's in the last few years no doubt due to the classic car market being buoyant, the end of Defender production and the plethora of Series 1's which have been in various restoration programs. Goodness knows where it will end. I love Series 1's had them for over 40 years but now I see stuff selling for the same price as I paid for my air cooled Porsche 911 which IMO is crazy for a vehicle that is slow, noisy and uncomfortable for anything other than short journeys. OK its charming and an icon but if I was spending £40K on another classic car it would be something more usable and when I get out my ears wouldn't be ringing and my back aching. |

Lovely car
Looks like new, if not better 
I would like an old one as a convertible to play with but not anything for these prices, think I would be looking at a series 3 |

If you are serious about getting a Series Land Rover I would buy now as all Series stuff seems to be on the up. A Series 2A or a 3 should scratch your Series itch without breaking the bank.
