Is this a good price for a Lightweight?

Nov 27, 2003 15 Replies

Someone we know came round with a Lightweight this afternoon. It was built in 1981 and released in 1997. It has a hard top on, but sticks and canvas will be going with it when its sold. Its petrol and had a new engine 500 miles ago. It's also just gone through the MOT with a pass first time. Is £1000 a good price?


V8? I know somebody who would love to buy it at that price.

Not a V8. So this is a good price then?

Sounds like a bargain to me.

My mate bought an ex-mod LWB s3 from a dealer a year ago, and that was £1000 and came with an mot and a new set of tyres. Theyre 1250-1500 at the same place now i think, so your lightweight sounds good, especially as it has a new engine.

If you don't want it I do!

If the chassis, bulkhead, etc, is in good nick, I'd say it's under- priced at GBP 1000.

Bruce undecided. Its what he wanted but at the time when we looked didn't see anything he felt was worth the money being asked for it and we ended up with Series 3.

Where would that be perchance?

It just passed its MOT and the test station said is was really sound.

Leicester. He's gone out to look at it again and drive it.

Were you talking to me or Nikki?

If me, then the place my mate bought his from is in Hinstock near Market Drayton. Its a great little place! :) I've never seen them advertise anywhere!, so if you want the number then e-mail me, and i'll try and find it... Its about here somewhere...

Yes it was you I was talking to Tom (thanks Nikki anyway :-) )

I won't trouble you for the number as it would be a bit far for me to go at the mo. Cheers anyway.

Sounds like a right nail, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, hardly worth risking all that money on.

Whats the phone number of the seller ?

;-)

Lifes no dress rehersal..... so go on then. The kids inheritance.... I may jest but I was bought up as a kid on a healthy diet of Landrovers and Range rover......there must be some way of getting my own back ;-)

Well he's going to waste some more money and my mistake its a 1979 model not a 1981.

Not telling!

What inheritance. We plan on enjoying ourselves;-)
