Always fancied one, never owned one but have worked on plenty on them. I might enjoy doing one up and picking the brains of those more clued up about them if the result is something worth more than I invested in terms of parts costs in it.
But I don't mind if this is news to others on forum who end up buying it.
Not one that I recognise. I quite like it, normally that colour would have the Lightstone Beige interior which I don't like, the Ash Grey looks much better in my view. Of the things mentioned in the ad, seat heaters rarely work, people will insist on sitting on the seats which breaks the elements, it has the book showing on the HEVAC meaning it has detected a fault somewhere, passenger seat base trim is missing and the lack of audio means it has the DSP amp and it has died. The sub signal simply passes through it so will still work. They are ridiculously expensive to replace and as virtually all of them fail so even buying secondhand you've no idea how long it will last. I've got all the bits to make a plug and play replacement but have never got around to putting it together as I've not had a car that was fitted with it to try it out.
Or you fit something aftermarket and get stuck into some serious soldering in the boot, see https://rangerovers.pub/topic/8-info-p38-alpine-dsp-amp-connections-and-wiring?page=1#pid30814
Would have thought most MOT places are closed on Boxing Day ??
I know it's a how long is a piece of string type question but what would you pay for it, how much would you expect to spend doing it up and how much do you reckon it'd be worth done up? Not to win any shows, just with issues mentioned in the listing and whatever you'd expect to need sorting sorted.
Fully sorted with everything working as it should and you could be looking at a £2.5k car but as you say, its a how long is a piece of string question. It could go for more but equally it could go for less. £1,500 would be a fair price to pay for it I would think. Sorting out the niggles is a case of time rather than expense. I'd ignore the heated seats as they are a real pain to do and only succeed in making you think you've pee'd yourself when you put them on. A standard stereo keeps the originality but there's not a lot of cost but a lot of time to get it going unless you decide to spend £3-400 on a used DSP amp which may or may not work for a decent length of time. Book showing on the HEVAC could be any number of things but most likely a blend motor, fiddly to do but not expensive either. I know of a bloke that should be able to sort the LPG system though.....
There's enough of them being broken so spares are readily available if you need them. I might even have an Ash Grey seat base surround. I know I've got a driver's side one so should have the other too.
However, once you get it and start using it, you'll be putting the Elgrand up for sale.
Did you get it? A good price if you did.
