Yeah I know, I built it from a load of bits spread around the garden and until a few weeks ago I never thought of selling it. I love it but as the saying goes 'it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand'
In the uk at least that land rover is worth alot more than the jeep

Yeah, Defenders are stupid money but even in the last 5 years series prices have rocketed. Parts are an issue with older jeeps as freight costs are high at the mo. I never understand why there's so much antagonism between land rover owners and jeeps. I used to get it all the time with my last one.
It's vice versa with jeep owners too, I think its because jeep owners wind up about land rovers unreliability but s1,s2,so and defender were reliability. And land rover owners say about the more important things in peacetime that land rovers did compared to jeep

My first land rover...
Broke down when I cooked the engine at a pay and play site...
My Defender only broke down a couple of times which were my fault not maintaining it properly...
My discovery I don't think ever broke down
And my series is simple to work on.
Chassis rust is their biggest issue. The jeep chassis is a different design and doesn't hold all the crap in like the box chassis on land rovers

Still got my dinky dodgem for daily use
The cj and the series both do 20'ish to the gallon so running wise they're pretty comparable. Can't afford both though unless you lot start drinking more cravendale

Yeah, I almost never had a roof on it after I ripped it. I used to have a brush in the back to get thesnow off the seats and dash. Nice bit of kit that was....
