This !Drive them have an adventure.
not quite - way cheaper here - not appraciating anything of quality and I specc'd top end now paying
The 90 isn't practical, so likely go - but the 110 is a tricky call...
Very different these days.... very...
Head would be sell the 90 and keep the 110
3 dogs through some of the worst counties in the world to go through.... no thanks.... kind of wanna get homeDrive them have an adventure
But then at $1/mile I guess it would be cheaper to ship than pay the fuel/ferries/hotels costs. but then the dogs flight tickets could offset the savings.
I am just trying to manmathmy way to say. If you have 2 rust free RHD landies and 1 being a V8 you will probably want 1 in the UK when you do get there. So why not hang on to what you have?

1 in the UK (the camper) is the right answer, providing I can insure it and store it, and if I want to sell likely get more in the UK even after shipping./.
You're kidding - that's cheaper than 2014 when we came out here - shipping is actually one of the few cheaper things - and that covers all exporting / deregistering/importing / MOT and into UK plates as well, not just the shipping
The 90 I don't think makes sense, but an overland camper feels useful in the Lakes / Alps as well as the Masai Mara...
done enough over the decade to know the ride home "up" isn't for me....This !
down to Cape Town maybe fun but then still need a boat back up
I’ve just checked with a colleague - 40’ container UK to Durban or Cape Town is currently $2675 US., quayside to quayside.
Appreciate that’s just the sea ‘movement’.
Yeah, about right - backup is a bit less, but yeah about that - they go around the left side, not the right side...
Don't forget my costs include the equivalent of Pickfords packing a decade of house / and unpacking in the house in the UK 3 months later....
some yes - some no - I sold a Discovery 4 after 10 years and 100k extra km and got more for it than when I bought it here in 2014 so yes, and older more "basic" like my 1984 Defender 90 soft top - agree yes - the sticky one comes on the 110 camper - as I top spec'd it (wasn't planning on moving) and as such the amount I've spent is nowhere near what people seem willing to pay here - early conversations looking at £30-40k hit after just 9 months of building this thing....
I think I'd prefer to get it to the UK and keep it - then the hit can be taken a lot later when I'm not thinking about it any more
I think the '90 convertible with the silly 4l V8 while romantic is a bit daft to bring back - AND the amount I get here for iut SHOULD cover all the house/dogs / 110 shipping...... so that feels the right thing to do even though I love it - just can't see many days in Yorkshire crusing around with no roof (even if wearing a bobble hat! ;-)But could you replace it like for like
J
Yeah - both of them would be coming with me!
hence the dilemma..... I blow so hot and cold.... someone mentioned head vs heart before...
