Even if I could rent. I wouldn't want gizmo filled modern vehicle.I agree 101% Keith, if I was in the position I'd rent and swap over every two or three years. For me the 38' is enough of a 4x4 and family cruiser, camper, van and tow truck.
The modern cars are amazing but not on my income
Your very welcome and at the end of the day buddy go with what you want to do as its your money your spending not ours albeit its always best practice to seek sound advice which you have done up front from someone who has actually owned one and not an armchair supporter who hasn't. LOL.
A mobility scooter then for yer!! LOL
Alan told me about your " rent & swapping " antics. LOLI agree 101% Keith, if I was in the position I'd rent and swap over every two or three years. For me the 38' is enough of a 4x4 and family cruiser, camper, van and tow truck.

FFS al'.... You tell everyone everything....
Well you said keep your mouth open
criminal as newbies that don’t know what to look for will be buying some serious death traps , possibly ending up buying a new chassis
And the connection is?
That's why I sold mine, as every time I drove it, I wasn't sure the crankshaft would make it to the end of the journey.

The newer the model you can afford the better i say. Those big ugly gear sticks just look stupid IMHOP and dated now. The fresher looking interiors are far better and it makes you also feel like your driving a much newer model too.bless u and honestly mate am very grateful , at the end of the day only really got good insight from owning previous landies , ie , series 2A , 3, freelander and lastly the D3
a while back even looked at an old style defender that had an automatic gearbox conversion but alas with my back its no longer viable , as to be honest that would have been ideal , of course though prices are seriously going up , saw a few pics where they had been resprayed but then underneath had more plates on the chassis than the seventh bridge ,
hopefully if I buy a petrol V8 RRS instead of a diesel I won’t get any stick, lmao
this is the kind of interior , specs I would like to get , do prefer the newer shaped RRS , alas though I think the 8 x speed and newer styled body will be out my price range ,however prefer the rotary on the terrain response section of the older design, last pic is the facelift pre 8 x speed but still old body shape
thks again

Do you mean the L405?
Disco sport replacement... Another glitzy toyThe real new Defender is the Grenadier

Sadly the prices of the newer stuff models is not going to drop anytime soon because there is actually a surge in demand for them at the moment across the entire model range and this is due to lots still being stolen ( Manchester area currently ) and a world wide shortage of computor chips my dealer specialist informed me so sellers and dealers can sort of hold out for now and get more money albeit only on the absolute peach examples. My L405 i recently sold to a prestige dealer of Rolls Royces and Bentley's is now up on his website for sale and who ever buys it will be getting a absolute concours example in every way BUT you'll have to pay £42000 for the V5c albeit worth every single penny because she is like a brand new car and she did cost £115000 new with all her extras. So if you can find those sort of funds then go for it as you wont find another one like her. She is still on my private plate which is negotiable with the dealer otherwise upon sale he will revert her back to her age related number. There is ALWAYS a deal to be done i say. LOL
