Land Rover Series 109
The Land Rover Series 109 is the sort of bakkie you spot at a classic car show in Oudtshoorn or rusting quietly on a Karoo farm, not clogging the N1 in Sandton traffic. With just two for sale in the whole of South Africa, it’s less a rival to the usual Ford Ranger or Isuzu D-Max crowd and more a four-wheeled time capsule for the kind of enthusiast who also dreams of a Defender 90 or an old Land Cruiser FJ40. Both listed examples serve up a four-cylinder petrol paired to a manual ‘box—no surprises there, because Land Rover never bothered with anything else for the Series 109. Pricing ranges from R349,900 to R499,900, which puts it solidly in collector territory. That’s restoration money, not a daily-runner decision—and on paper at least, that’s the only way this makes sense. You’re not going to find a new one, and you won’t ever see a big batch of them flood the market either. These two examples average 57,512 km on the odo, which sounds almost suspiciously low until you remember they’ve been around since the late '50s or mid-'60s and probably spent more time hiding in a barn than hauling bales. The 109-inch long-wheelbase was always the real workhorse, a favourite for farms and game lodges, if you pack smart. Buyers hunting for gadgets or spec sheets are looking in the wrong place here. Condition, honesty, and provenance are what matter. Straight panels, a transfer case that doesn’t whine, and a story worth telling—that’s the point. This isn’t a used bakkie; it’s a slice of motoring history, priced the way rare artefacts always are.
Land Rover
Land Rover’s story in South Africa is all about extremes—both in pricing and what you’ll find on offer. Scan the 70 active used listings and you’ll see everything from a bottom-rung Freelander at R109,500 right up to a nearly-new Range Rover with a price tag close to R3-million, and a median price that lands just under half a bar at R494,394. That’s a massive spread, but it’s what the Land Rover lineup should have been from the start: real choice for everyone from the family that’s outgrown a Fortuner to the status-conscious exec who needs to cross a muddy polo field without breaking a sweat. Land Rover attracts buyers who want both the badge and the bona fide off-road chops—something the BMW X-series, Mercedes GLE, and Volvo XC60 can only pretend at, on paper at least. Every listing is pre-owned, so you’re stepping into someone else’s story. Given Land Rover’s mixed reliability record, a careful look under the skin (and service history) is non-negotiable. The Defender stands tall as the brand’s backbone here, claiming 17 listings between R349,900 and R1,699,900 and spanning everything from a stripped-out workhorse to something you could take from Jozi to the Richtersveld without missing a beat. Discovery is next with 13 listings, varying wildly in spec and price—R109,500 bags you a well-worn oldie, while R1,099,900 gets you something that still smells new. Evoque pops up in 12 listings, covering the compact premium SUV ground for those who care more about Sandton parking than Sani Pass. SUVs make up 58 of 70 listings—proof that Land Rover’s all-terrain card still matters in a country where gravel travel is part of daily life. Petrol, diesel, hybrid, even plug-in hybrid options are on the table, which is more than you’ll get from most rivals. While BMW and Mercedes chase corners, Land Rover keeps its focus on dirt, ruts, and a cabin that doesn’t need to be hosed out after a real adventure.
