Hey all,

So I'm dreaming of taking a few treks around Europe in a few years with my girlfriend once she moves over here.

I have my eye on a 90 right now for a project/learning vehicle, but I'm not sure this would have enough space to carry supplies and to allow us to sleep in the rear bed as well if needs be.

So would a 110 or a Discovery be more suitable for this?

I'm in the mindset that this would be a lifelong vehicle, something to take us on many miles and many trips.

Am I thinking the right thing or would the 90 suffice for this?
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
It's just a kernel of an idea right now so nothing is set in stone.

She might be he doesn't say.

Bloody immigrants coming over here taking our m......no wait

Unless your'e 4' sleeping in a 90 will mean making a bed over the central bulkhead and still wondering where to stash a small rucksack. A 110 has much more potential

A 110 - get an ex MOD while they're still available then build it slowly into what you want - no matter what you do to a 90 it'll always be too small................... if that's too expensive go old school and get a series 3 - assuming she's an understanding girlfriend..............................

She'll be able to get help from the Government to learn Engrish so that shouldn't be a big worry

A classic Range Rover LSE has room in the back. They come with style points.

Freelander with the seats down would have more load space than a 90. Defo the way to go

And if he buys a proper expeditionary vehicle, like a Land Cruiser, she could read the repair manual, should they need it.
Expeditions are all about the planning.
