You'd be waiting a blummin' long time for a Perfect one I say. You can find GOOD ones, but Perfect, Land Rover? Hmmm.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am thinking, some things are meant to be (one gets philosophical if they only get to their personal email from work at 11.35!).
With the ones that are going on ebay over the next few days (some of which I have shortlisted as "good value"), something is probably going to come up.
Then I ll be able to be there at the Brighton event!
Hooray, out of London!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Is your heart set on a Defender. I know it may not seem an obvious choice, but you could get a really nice Discovery for that sort of money.
The mechanicals are virtually identical to a Defender, they are very nearly as good off road (just need to watch the overhang at the rear), but they are much more comfy, faster (have a higher ratio high box - same low!) and arguably more economical on the road for the same reason.
I was looking for a 90, but settled on a Discovery and have never looked back. I am really pleased with it - I know own two... sort of! :wink:
Especially for UK use I think they are great. If you want to use it overland
less people do, but for no really good reason. As I say the knowledge and spares are largely interchangeable so you shouldn't get stuck.

Well Henry, thanks. Discovery looks more refined somehow and not as simple and "bohemian". I suppose it has the perception of the "comfortable" car but I assure you , I have "secretly" been looking for a good one on and off *even bid on a coupel*/
Are you sure though that they are as cheap to run (diesel version):?:
