Depends on condition, $3000 - $6000, just search on Trademe in the cars for sale section, select landrover etc.

Series 1 with all original bits is becoming classic and getting restored and collected, which just makes it harder to say what it's worth! Be more if original engine, seats, etc and everything there. Less if it's been modified or rusted out in steel parts. Maybe ask a club, bound to be one for early landies.

The chassis is the most important part, rusted outriggers can be bought new but at $$$ . best way is to put it up as auction& it will attract plenty of interest

The model with the skinny leaf springs and the clutch and brake pedals which go through the floor boards were the best model cross country .

Series 1 covers 10 years. A 1948, irrespective of condition is valuable as a restoration project, whereas a rough 2 litre from 1958 will only have parts value. The OP's is 1600cc. which suggests it is reasonably early and if it is a "narrow dash" model would realise good money by auction.

they said its an 80 so the doors are on an angle not vertical to the body it has a small oblong dash 1600 motor yes these are collectible and worth a bit more than the other series 1s just the condition of the chassis, firewall and door tops rust wise would be the concern the rest of the body is bermabright also the grill in the front makes a great bbq plate
