Anyone else had problems renewing their Landrover insurance?
Like for instance, coming up on the search as a Pickup when it is a Station wagon.
Were all SWs Counties? Mine is a bit lacking in luxuries.
My 110 is on the V5 as a 110 SW TDI. Which makes sense to anyone with a bit of real world noddle.
I was asked if SW means short wheel base....

Thank goodness it is only once a year!

My 300tdi 110 station wagon was not a county. Loved it. I wish I'd kept it

Sorry, gone with Hastings direct, but next time I'll bear you in mind.

So they do exist!
A county SW is the same except for it has stripes and carpet? and nicer seats, I guess.
None of which seemed to convince LV when I spoke to them!

You dont want to be insuring with that mob anyway.

Avoid the price comparison sites.

Avoid markerstudy underwritten policies ( adrian flux love these guys but dont always use em)!

Speak with heritage 4x4 they do good policys and under stand typical 4x4 add ons and greenlaning.

County is just a trim pack. Was also available on hardtop and pickup body styles, as well as the station wagon body style. Most County-trimmed vehicles were station wagons though, for obvious reasons.

County stripes, carpets, seats etc, we're all parts of the trim package at various points over the years.
