From a recent family loss, I have a couple of retros to find a new owner for. I was initially tempted to keep them myself but realised that they're not really my thing and we already have project 944 and MX5s taking all our driveway space! (Long time lurker here, but project threads are elsewhere)
Wanted to see if I could find them a decent home here before popping them on ebay under 'The System'... But to do that I'd have to have a clue what they were worth - which I don't!
The Landcrab:
1969 Morris 1800 Landcrab, 100k, 2 owners from new. Lots of history, and recent MOT. I had thought this single owner, but was initially registered to my step-grandmothers first husband and was swapped into her name when he passed in 1971, so 2 owners on the logbook.
It has been garaged, MOT'd and serviced yearly despite not being driven - From MOT history the ODO was 85 miles in 2007 (just rolled over for the first time, proven by history) and now reads 186. MOT Garage claimed that it was solid underneath, but lots of small rust spots in evidence on the bodywork, and offside wing has rusted at the top - see the silver duct tape.
There is an (apparently standard) oil leak from the gear box/gear cable housing. I don't know how severe this is. It has a in line adapter to run on unleaded fuel, visible on the bulkhead in the photos. I presume these contain a finite additive and have no idea of their lifespan - this is a little before my time
Interior is pretty tidy. One small rip in the drivers seat, and the passengers inside door handle is damaged (not pictured I'm afraid). Other than that just the odd bit of ageing you'd expect.

The car is based in Barnes, London. I'm Midlands based so don't have easy access to it.
Any thoughts or ideas on value would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
