with regaard to the insurance, we pay less for the 90 than we did for a Suzuki Samurai, which I think is a group 6, the same as the Jimny.

Cant work it out but it is with the National Farmers Union

My Jimny  is group 6  220  modified , 30mpg  -on 215/80/15 muds  r/tax 120   ,  i think the land/rover 90 is cheaper to insure because it can be got on classic insurance as most are over 20 yrs old + they are cheap to repair,

£111 Pete Best radically modded, limited milage, second car
Bits in general are far cheaper than Land Rovers, you can get a compleate runner for £100.

90's are lower insurance because they are mostly hard top (harder to nick). They are also the official encap safest car on the road. However, like the others have said sj's are easy to work on, cheap to run (low tax for 1.3 l engine etc). Soft top SJ's stupidly easy to steal so worth getting a steering lock etc.

Part are extremely cheap even new provided you avoid suzuki dealers like you would the plague.

Hope thats helps
