      Couldn't agree more! Had 12 over the years. Uncomfortable, slow, unreliable, uneconomical, but yet .......... 70 years of sales so something must have been right!

          True, true. It looks okay but isn't a defender. I also remember the swop from the 90 - 110 to the defender name. Cor blimey there were lynch mobs at Solihull! The old 88' and 109' beasties were and are still slogging along. But give a 200tdi 110 CSW any day!

    i finally managed to buy one two years ago, having driven them in the forces. it was falling to bits and has cost me a fair few quid to get it sorted, but i love it. the kids love riding in it and its great. i love the fact over landy drivers wave at you as you pass by. I get a big grin whenever i drive it....even when certain electrics stop working at inconvenient times! Theyre not getting any cheaper either, especially the older ones

    It's a shame. I love driving my old mans LHD one. Yes it's slow, noisy but I just love it. I want one. But I want a pickup to....

      You can kill two birds with one stone there! Buy any land rover 110 with a bulk head take off the roof - I think it's six bolts- Bung on a cab and there you go.... Or just find a LR pickup. BUT a jap pickup is so much more comfortable secure and reliable but..........

        I have been a Landy lover for years having owned several SWBs ones. I now got a '99 Toyota Hilux with a Ifor Williams canopy and it's a brilliant piece of kit, so reliable, comfortable and practical. I would be hard push to replace my Toyata for a Land Rover now.

          Yes yes. Agree with everything you say about the Toyota BUT it's not a Landrover!!!!! There something about them that makes them so endearing to so many people. I personally can't think of one thing yet I've had a dozen of the damn things over the last 20 ish years!
          • Andrew Midgley > Andy January 29, 2016 at 8:15pm
            I agree with you. I sold two vehicles which I always regret. One of them was my '71 SWB soft top Landy in marine blue and the other was my Morris Traveller. How I ruse the day I sold them....

    Have been looking them up. They've gone up at least 10% in value! Better than a bank account!

    I went for a defender with a tipper, over a jap 4x4 - can carry and tow a lot more. Love it to bits. Got some big fat mud tyres on it now and it'll go anywhere. Got a Vauxhall movano tipper too...more practical if you're just out and about on tarmac, more space, doesn't mist up, break down etc, but I still jump in the LAndy 95% of the time.
