we both like the square jeep cherokees, a gas coverted V8 would moisten my loins! (many round the £1500 band)
but its the cost of parts/running and insurance..
we`ll be covering some milage between us too, so something half comfy is required (memories of taking a pickup to newcastle!! :lol: )
panda 4x4 would be mint, but they are rare as rocking horse bobbins, and utterly shab in the reliability/anti-corrosion department!
forrester would be good too, but would want a diesel lump really. (group 12 insurance too! :shock: )

Land Rover. You can't get any cheaper than a Series, really...

Old Subarus would be my choice for cheap 4x4s is the choice was between old Soobies and old Fiats. I had an old Fiat that was supposed to have been garaged most of its life, but it was the rustiest car that I have ever had. Had to get rid of the Fiat when it had holes rusted through the suspension pieces.
Are their old 2.2 liter Subaru legacy outbacks kicking around in GB? Was there Legacy Impreza Outbacks there as well?

There are some 2.2 Legacy Outbacks around, but given fuel consumption and insurance groups seem to be important I am not so sure it is what he is after.
Would agree with your point re: Fiat vs. Subaru.
The Impreza equivalent was never imported into the Uk until the Forester.

marjan:
Jimny would be my choice but if your short of cash (or just tight like me!) go for a Samurai. I picked mine up for £450 on E-bay and spent about £300 getting it sorted for off roading, not comfortable but very capable.
Mutz:
Definatley Suzuki, cheaper to insure plenty of parts available, at reasonable price, capable off roader, economical compared to most fair allrounder.And available for all pockets. from £200 upwards.
Thats what i would go for!!
