Thing is ex military landies are still ten a penny (Well maybe not a penny) but there are plenty to choose from, so making one a, bit more suited to your own useage isn't really a biggie.

Mine above is just as it was cast Barring front passenger wing due to a previous owners crash... I'm only the second civvy owner so it's staying as it is (including the just above single figures 2 1/4)
My s2a, StaWag is currently going 300tdi powered as it'll suit ME better to have something with long legs and cheap fuel....
All horses for courses chap...
