110 new v old?

The brand new 110 has good heating and a/c plus comfy seats but still whistles around the doors, will set you back £20k + though.

Older TD5's and 300 TDis were OK in XS trim level but still not that refined IMO

How about a Santana?

The only thing refined in a Defender is the petrol ;)

Ohh you bitch!

I'd have one if I were buying new, in preference to the LR...

However... for the stated budget I could build a *really* nice 110 3.9 V8 auto :-), on a galv chassis, with new doors etc. as needed, all new seating and yes, probably aircon as well.

and yes, that does include labour.

similar money would do a TDi, I expect.

Mind, I couldn't do it right now, too much other stuff on the go which I've already promised. But in principle...

You never really appreciate the words "destination" and "arrival" until you've had the pleasure of a Landrover other than the RR's / Discos / Freelanders. My trip in my IIa is still firmly lodged in my mind.... infact if I go in to a quiet room I'm sure I can still hear the gearbox all these years later :-)

I know that feeling well after 1000 miles over 36 hours in a IIa with a lovely transfer box whine and no overdrive on SATs.
