I'm 17 looking at getting a defender 90/110 or series 3 maybe, but the big thing for me is insurance and is the body type is classed as a '3 door estate' the insurance is around 10,000. But if it is classed as a '4x4 utility van' is around 1,000.
So is there any way to know what body type it is before buying it?
Also, how is a defender/series 3 as a first car?
Thanks
