Running costs & ownership returns
Each PROJECT 88 is: MoT exempt | ULEZ compliant | Tax exempt
Interest in these cars grows exponentially year on year, which supports their capital appreciation. A wider market and limited availability of good cars should ensure a safe bet for your money. Certainly more fun than wine, property, or gold… OK, maybe wine can be fun too.
If you’ve always fancied a mechanically sorted, uber-cool looking Series Land Rover that you can just jump in and go anywhere with the biggest grin, then a Project 88 is the perfect addition to your family.
We can support you with finance or world wide shipping import to US / Europe or world wide.
