Running cost comparison

vizsla · May 3, 2013

Hi I'm looking at getting a old landy mainly for carting wood Round, it will only do about 2 or 3 thousand miles a year As iv got the disco. I'm looking T either a series or a defender for around £2-3000, my biggest concern is running costs so I'm wondering what's cheaper a tax free series on classic insurance but less than 20mpg or a cheap defender that better on fuel, I'm not sure on classic insurance prices anymore, any help will be great thanks

you are just looking at 2-300 quid a year difference for fuel. Big question is the maintenance to keep it on the road and mot's

That's what I was thinking but that £300 saving on fuel would cover the tax on a defender which is we're I'm struggling to decide, I can work on both and in my experiance both are reliable if maintained but I'm speaking from experiance ten years ago

why can't you use the disco?! More than capable at shifting heavy loads of wood.

200tdi 130 single cab tray back is what you need.

Sounds like you need a tow bar and trailer to me.
