Does being famous make a defender/90 worth more?

cg uttered summat worrerz funny about:

It's down to what someone thinks it's worth. If they have a River cottage fettish or a Crush on Hugh and got off on sitting on a seat he has sat on then they may pay more. Otherwise it's just another Red 90 Soft top.

Do yourself a favour and just buy a hard top. It'll just bolt on and save loads of faffing. You'll still have a vehicle of interest for events and what have you and It'll always be a talking point much as I know to my own luck (if you can call it that) with my 101.

Personally I doubt it, if it was owned by the queen then perhaps, but not some hippy TV chef! ISTR a Range Rover owned by the queen going for peanuts a while ago so no guarantees even there. Perhaps if you could get him to autograph it or somesuch, then some celebrity-mad nutcases might go for it.

What's on the reg documents, his name or some TV company's fleet manager?

Before i changed it to me, it was the name of his production company (HFW Interactive)

Celebrity mad nutcases ehh?? do they have a newsgroup? 8-)

cg came up with the following;:

How long's a piece of string? I'd probably pay less for it 'cos I knew about the raffle, and knew the thing had blown ... ;) There are others, however, who might have a fetish for HFW and might be inclined to pay more ... but I doubt it.

Why not just buy a hard top and bolt/un-bolt it as necessary? Be a lot cheaper and if, as you say, it's now well sorted, you'll have a bargain.

Judging by the interest in the Emmerdale 88", I'd venture that the right person would pay a premium - *but* finding them is the hard part.

I bought a ticket in the raffle- good cause but so far as famous Landies go there have been more than a few on Ebay of late and they fetch no premium although that Rangie off the daffy lady detective series looked well sorted it was up for a second time . I know some cars will fetch extra money by association I would have loved Mrs Peel's Elan (or am I just being pervy ) Roger Moores Volvo and a certain DB5 but even the normal cars in those marques have reached cult status and they are rare to start with. But I really wonder what landrover would fit the bill? the Pope- mobile? Lara Crofts 110 ? Armand and Micheala Dennis 109 ( bet no one else remembers that - though I think a Rhino had first dibs on it ) Derek

Right, thats it then, Im off to the scrap yard in search of a roof and side windows.

(wher do you get the internal liners for the roof and window pillars?)

thanks all,

Fleabay is a fair place to start
