You could always fit parabolics for a better ride (but I don't think you can carry as much weight?)
I know my grandad used to do 174 mile round trips (when he used to own my series 3) often between here and machynlleth with a caravan. Without a caravan with an overdrive and bigger wheels off a 109 plus 2.5 diesel he could do 70 in it (mind you he is a bit deaf

haha nice one! my missus physically threatened me if i took the baby out in mine. Apparently, the PO of mine used to ratchet a baby seat to the role cage on the rear on the middle seat..... and then go green laning as a family! mental.

If you are into it they are fine to drive, just not quickly. If you don't want to do regular diy mechanics and you don't have a stack of cash, then I'd walk away from any series or defender. Fuel economy is crap too.
Personally, I'd go for a petrol s2 with a galved chassis and possible galved bulkhead.
The petrol engine is certainly better than the diesel.
However, an S2A is going to be much more money than a S3. The S3 is pretty much bottom of the price range for series Land Rovers.
