AT LAST we found ` the holy grail of syncro`s `

Love to know what these, Go-westy & the like, syncros actually sell for.
The build costs can't actually be that high, can they?

€3750 for the E Bay scrapper or €9000 for one with less than 42,000 miles. The E Bay one is €2500 over the odds ..... maybe the green one is €2500 too cheap!

Trouble with the green one is it,s green

...never been touched up or had a bang.

Not just a corker then, but a virginous Doka, pretty rare!

There's plenty of US Syncros have sold for more than $70,000

U.S. one no good for you guys, no front locker ( U.S. spec.) and how long before that side mounted ladder was ripped off ??

..well, just about any UK Green Lane then ?

Green lane?? 'Twas more like the north face of the Eiger

All these US built wagons are built for open plains and National Park holidays from the looks of them. Is there anywhere else as "squeaky" as the UK for ripping off exterior fittings?

(thinks of original Land Rover recessed door handles and flat sides)

Do they actually ever sell for that money or is that just the asking price!

Must be very hard to know for sure.
I just can't see it, you can buy a very nice, solid, working syncro in the US for $20K ish,
That's gives you $50,000 for engine conversion, spray job, alloys & a nice service!!
