Yes, Remember in my early years of driving (1989) going to see some local trials it was amazing how often you would see a Series one with an owner who looked as he'd bought it new winning agaist all those modified  vehicles even though it was running the all original stuff.
 My first 4x4 was an 1973 Ex-MOD 109 3/4 ton (Strange Rover) started life as a 2 1/4 petrol eventually went over to a 3.5L V8 (SDI Vetesse)running 9.00 Continental bar treads which at the time was as big as you would see only really got stuck once that was with the 2 1/4 and with warn our 31/10.50. During the time I owned it a bobtailed in it
 My Second was the D'range Rover (name was on a receipt for an MOT) when I bought Bobtailed 1974 Range Rover only had it six month but enjoyed it for off-roading.
 My Latest and most Off-roaded vehicle is Tomb-Rover Bought new September 2001 and started life as a Tomb-raider 110 Limited Edition. It has spends a lot of time in water (a friend suggested I need to put life jackets in it)and only once had a issue an that was to do with Nav-Track system getting wet. Having a bit of a problem with it on grass at the moment but I have put this down to the fact that my rear tyres have done over 60,000 miles although plenty good enough on the road they past there best for off-road so this Friday I'll drop into Southam tyre and have them replaced.

discowoman:
well had a couple of Lada Niva's - 5 discoveries- 4 RRC's - 4 LWB sereis and 3 SWB series as well as 2 Pajeros (a mk1 and a mk2)..2 LWB fronteras and 1 swb.. and the only thing that makes a 4x4 good or bad is the nut behind the steering wheel.
Seen tricked up RRC's and Disco's get stuck in stuff you could take a Fiat panda through  and I have got to places in a bog standard series 2A that surprised me - and other people on a p+p day at Cannock...
