Those of you who have followed my previous threads will know I haven't much sense, so it won't come as a surprise that I'm on the lookout for another Freelander. I have a TD4 and a K series at the minute, both of which are in pretty good shape now. The trouble is my missus wants the TD4 for her daily and the K series is not really suitable for the off roading I want to do. The K series is now for sale so that I can replace it and I've spotted something which might do.

It is a 99 L series and the guy says it is running, has only 113k miles and the 4wd is complete. He claims it has been laid up since MOT ran out and a new car was bought which means it has been off the road since Dec 2013. I'm thinking of calling down tomorrow to check it out.
Good points
Cheap
2 Door
Low mileage
Cheap and simple to upgrade the engine.
Bad points
Crap brakes on older L series
Needs trailered home
Who knows what else.
Mmmmm, What to do?
