Land Rover Monthly say's 800-2300 for a poor one so project is going to be this sort of level. Price does depend on if it is a Utility (van) cheapest through to a full 12 seater safari one. Parts are massively available and cheap with the slight exception of the 6cylinder engine I understand. Remember its tax free and insurance will be low on a classic policy.
I think they are one of the few cars where you can get them going and gain the money you have spent back on it (if not the hours...) even if you need a new chassis.
We paid a few hundred for a 'well used' series 3 which had sat in a field which needed a bit of chassis / foot well patching and full axle / brake overhaul and it is worth more than we have spent on it.
Go for it and remember if in doubt hit it with a bigger hammer !

thanks for the help its been up to its axels in mud between some apple trees.so going to be a pain to get out and have a look at the underside.i do know its a petrol so I would think the engine would need some work I going to have a talk to the owner in a few days time to see what he thinks it is worth.

Petrol easier to deal with !
Anything less than 1000 I suspect a bonus as values of these is creeping up and up.

Pics would help.
In the condition you're describing, (unless it's a particularly interesting or rare variant), it's probably worth around £700 to £1K but depends on a lot of things; Is it in need of total mechanical rebuild? Is the chassis shot? etc. I suspect Yes and Yes.
If you bide your time and watch the various sites, you can buy a MOT'd, scruffy driving example for under £2K and treat it as a rolling restoration whereas a basket case will quickly soak up £10K - £15K to get it back on the road and beg for more.
