I've bought two Epson Green D1's. The first was a '97 SE7 I bought new, the second was a '97 SD I bought last year. Both great rigs, but this price just blows my mind.Don't know if you all have seen this. 21K miles, for $48,800

On that point, I'm about to spend some foolish money on my own Rover; but there's more to what I'm doing than just bringing a vehicle back to life.
It'll fucking make me feel better to have it that way, and a replacement will not do the job.
That doesn't make it smart, though.

Very tempting.
A non-turbo OM617 is a million-mile engine. But boy is it not a powerhouse - 87 hp, give or take some years.Indeed.
150k on one of those engines is just getting broken in right?
Why not find a nice 2009 LR3 lux? Better in nearly every category, easier, and possibly less expensive. Even that G-wagen might come out ahead.
Owning old Land Rovers never pays for themselves...but that's not really the point, is it?The work won't pay for itself, but that's not really the point.

Retail on a D1 in 1998 was about $38,000. Adjusted for inflation, that equates to roughly $59,000 today.
Looking at it from the other direction, paying $48,000 for a D1 in 2019 would equate to about $30,600 in 1998 dollars.
That is pretty low depreciation.
