Difference between defender 'car' and defender 'van' body types

banksy95 · Jun 20, 2012

I'm 17 looking at getting a defender 90/110 or series 3 maybe, but the big thing for me is insurance and is the body type is classed as a '3 door estate' the insurance is around 10,000. But if it is classed as a '4x4 utility van' is around 1,000.
So is there any way to know what body type it is before buying it?
Also, how is a defender/series 3 as a first car?
Thanks

I'd presume that if you look at the tax disc it'll say lcv not plg like my disco commercial does! Van or car in disco terms at least
