yer got to remember that the series was designed in the late forties as a cross between a proper tractor and a light truck....theres no way its going to "drive" like a modern repmobile or hot hatch or even a seventies sports car.
as long as it starts , gets where you want to go and back again eventually with nowt fallin orf its a good un.
back in the seventies we towed a caravan round england wiv a series 2 rag top.... now we get people worried about drivin a fender 50 miles..... how expectations have changed in 50 years.

LOL, in the 90's I used the S3 as a daily driver and to tow the caravan all over the country almost every weekend as our pits and hotel. OK, it only ever did 50+ downhill with a following wind, but it did it! Expensive, mind ..

If you are looking to change to something more masculine than the freelander may I suggest
I was thinking of upgrading to this masculine car however i just don't recon it would get same MPG as my hippo!

Mine may have been loud and tartly and cold but it never broke down or was not possible to move, I rarely carry tools keep
It well maintained and nothing should go wrong ....

I'd love to drive past that very slowly with a muckspreader and turn it completely brown.

Its wrong in every sense..... the Micra.. not my iQ!!!
Used to have an old series 2a. Put my dad's Michelin tyres on off his then 90 td. Made a huge difference and rode surprisingly well. It just think you get a muscle memory regardless of what you're in. I jump from my Aygo, to MX 5 both manual to an auto Disco 1 and the brain sorts out the rest. I agree though tyre pressures do make a difference. When I first drove my Disco the tyres were far to hard and it followed every rut in the road, of which there are many. Now at a more sensible pressure it's fine. Go for a series though. I just saw one and brought a smile from bygone days.

I think it will definately be a series.. I just like the 'old look'
