I'm looking for a diesel Range Rover. Could be a classic or the 'Mk 2' type. Have a budget up to £5,000. There's loads advertised in autotrader.co.uk so I've a pretty good idea about what passes for value these days and values certainly what I'm looking for. For that money I expect a tidy example without stupidly high mileage, serious issues or an abused interior. If anyone has something suitable for sale please do let me know.

As you are looking for a diesel, I'd have a look at a VM Classic. The VM has a totally underserved bad reputation, and very low milage "mint" eaxmples are around that will give you quite a lot of change out of £5000 - but make sure the engine has not been messed about with - the VM's bad name is alomst totally down to people who don't know what they are doing working on them (e.g. only changing on head gasket instead of all 4 etc).
Just a thought.

Thanks Richard, I used to sell fishing boats with VM engines. They are in fact Hispano Suiza built and generally a high quality manufacturer. Nevertheless I'd still prefer a Tdi or later.
