I thought that about my bog standard white RR Classic and sold it. Within a few years RRC's vanished from the road and prices skyrocketed. Doh!!!!!


I reckon there will be a tipping point where D3's stop being bought by the wider masses and get scrapped and numbers around will fall dramatically. Talking to a mechanic mate about 2ndhand prices, normal punters are put off by the costs of maintaining a D3 and the risk of the engine going bang at any moment. They have all the attributes of a proper classic IMHO.


I think road tax will be the killer of d3 and early d4.

I think ULEZ will be more relevant, as the cities that have them increases.

Road tax alone didn't and hasn't yet killed the relevant Defender values.

there is always option of conversion to pure EV which would be cool on D3/4 if range was sensible and onboard charging was not ltd to say 22kW lol

Was thinking the same today. My new EV came last week, i was stuck in trafffic jam today thinking about the D3 and how such power in a D3 would be extraordinary.

It won't be long before someone does one, maybe modifying the Defender EV kit.
