Lot 173 in Tuesday's sale at Brightwells, do you think this will be worth a punt?

To be honest and IMO there is something much more interesting and desirable in the Leominster sale on the 26th

Interesting project Andrew. Series 1 parts can be very difficult or impossible to find. If your not a strict ‘rivet counter’ then it’s probably worth a punt. Like said, depends what’s under the bonnet, and has it been restored badly in the past. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

That does look nice! Does seem to me like it would do better in the classic auction!
Defender9 there are lots of nice things in the 26th auction! Not all LR related either, would love either of the Pug 205's personally.

It is worth a punt.
But not a "blind" punt, unless you enjoy risk. If you don't know much about what you are buying, take someone who does, to look at it. Remember that with Series Ones, top "value" is very closely linked to originality. |

Nice, but check that Bulkhead and Chassis.
It is quite important the the parts are there, such as wiper motors,, trim parts and gauges. It is less important that they work. Repair is always possible whereas finding the blighters is not. Good luck should you buy it , they are great fun and Small will not be parted from hers, I think they will bury her in it  1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue
