If you're going to spend a lot of time in it, go for the 110, coil springs give a lot more comfort. In the low budget range, be prepared for a lot of rust in anything made of steel, botched wiring and the like. A bad chassis can be terminal, even if you can weld. Don't rely on a MoT as a statement of roadworthiness! On the plus side, they are easy to work on. I'd be more concerned about how the engine and gearbox perform on a test drive.

Think you are meant to have posted 50 times before you can do that!

Think there is a section in Anything Goes for sales/wants. And someone may pick up on this. Also, of course, lz is full off landrover enthusiasts, many of whom may be savvy enough not to have to sell their motors cheap!
Have you tried usual options ie local paper, free ads, auto trader, local sale/exchange websites?

Don't limit yourself looking for a pick up, a hard top is easy converted, I have just done it to my 110. Truck cab parts are fairly cheap, or if you are lucky, you might find a pick up owner who wants a hardtop and will swap parts with you!

EBay, Gumtree or preloved. Buying stuff like that brand new from a parts company especially Craddocks would cost you a mayhoosive pile of wonga
