I've wanted one for years. A friend of a friend was selling a rather nice 90, and I've just bought it and driven it 4 hours home! Feeling a little tired - will sort out a pic on here tomorrow!

Very chuffed!

drove the 130 version exactly the same as that 12 hours to france for the past 2 years, its nice being sat so high but the gearbox, heavy pedals and draft down your right leg get pretty boring pretty fast oh and the drone.

great for off roading thou 😀

Top tip;
Don't try to get under the height barrier at Mortimer Forest car park.
I just about did it on my second attempt by dropping two wheels off the side of the road, you've got no chance with those spot lights. 😀

Hmm, Landrover Defender. Slow, noisy, uneconomical, poor crash protection, cold in winter , awful handling etc. etc. etc.

I'd still love one though. One if the 'coolest' cars ever (imho). Enjoy it.
