It will be expensive. And you will be lucky to be able to ride a mountain bike after a few years driving it.
Just a thought, but if you live in Penzance, isn't your mountain bike on the coast anyway?

Once you've made the initial purchase the running costs aren't all that bad. If you look at what spares cost for most cars, it's not that far out of line, and considerably cheaper than most. I've recently started driving a mid 80s JCB 3CX backhoe digger on my smallholding and the experience is remarkably similar except the digger has lighter steering. The main thing is being willing to do stuff yourself. If you had to get a garage involved every time you needed a bearing, bush or oil seal replacing it could get very expensive.

In contrast to the above, the main cost of ownership is fuel.
They break more often than more modern cars, but are generally cheaper to put right.
They dont really depreciate providing youre getting an older truck.
Driving them is not for everyone - occasionally (very occasionally) i drive a normal car, and its very different.
Just dont buy a rust bucket - unelss buying a rust bucket on the cheap is part of your plan.
