There's still a lot of Adventures for sale, some with as few as 200 miles on the clock.
A couple stood out as I was browsing, including this one with an auto conversion which it is claimed has £17k spent on upgrades. £48 seems good value, with it having only 3000 miles on the clock.

Click image to enlarge https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ad...amp;page=1 Overall, asking prices seem to be very firm, with the cheapest asking price being £42k for a corris 90 with 18000 miles and a private sale and the dearest being about £56k for a low mileage corris 110. *(excluding the urban truck modified one at £70k. One I came across has had 4 previous keepers. I wonder how many will come back up for sale as they reach 3 years old later this year?

A couple of acquaintances I know in the trade told me that it was really hard to shift Adventure, CSW (90 not 110) & Heritage's but that high spec XS HT's & Landmark's were in high demand.
Not sure why... Since 1973...S1, Air Portable's, Defender's, but only my Wolf TUL HS GS remains |

Celebration model pricing has gone nuts!
Cars with mileage on are getting into the £70k region. I this with the V8 models hitting £150k+ and in turn dragging all of the prices up? |

Perhaps asking prices are up as people try to cash in before the end of the warranty period? There must be more money than sense out there if these asking prices are being achieved.

Yep, but it will be interesting to see what happens to prices in Feb, when they will all be over 3 years old. Will the delivery mileage Celebration Models take a tumble at the point?

Not sure if you are new to the car market or not? What would worry you about a defender being out of warranty? Electrics? engine? Certainly not air bags
 Don’t quite get your point at all?
What would a 3rd party warranty cost if you really wanted a warranty £300? Still think the prices are crazy but then again look at all new car prices these days. Could actually make good defenders look a bargain!  |

Ah those are the wheel my boss has, always wondered if they were aftermarket or something like that. I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

Coops, have a look around the forum and the myriad of issues with defenders under 3 years old. An extended warranty is £760, if you can get one that covers anything more than air in the tyres for £300 let me know

OK...
 SO extended warranty is £760? So why would the price plummet if it costs 1% of the sale price is have warranty on everything other than the air in the tyres.. (£760 is 1% of the £74,995 asking price.)
It would appear that at least £50k is certainly the ball park for these vehicles now.....15% gain or £7,000. Not bad if you also used them. There must be a few stored unused still. I do like the Heritage models.....  |
