We bought a 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 today 

I know they are hopelessly fuel inefficient, noisy, draughty, basic  but that doesn't matter because it is a Landy and will enjoy the challenge of the cornish 'roads'

Just had to share

Oh you lucky thing, if I wasn't fighting a planning battle up north I'd have had one this year.

We used to have a long wheel base one, I am sure it had a fuel leak, it guzzled the stuff. We now have a citroen Berlingo for an everyday car( goes for miles on a breath and tows well) and a fergie for the hard work.

 If I had a Berlingo that I had to tow , I'd get rid of it PDQ

Ah, lovely. We had one a few years ago - kind of wish we'd kept it. No, I don't  Have fun.

[Womble]

Cool!  Ours is currently broken down resting in the garage at the moment - it's 5th holiday since we got it a year ago. I'm so hoping that this will finally be everything sorted, but deep down I know it's just the tip of the iceberg. I still love it though!

No silly, tows trailers well. Shetland is Berlingo land. Most folk have them cause they are so good on fuel, as fuel up here is so expensive and it is a hour to the shops. They are really good in snow and can fit quite a lot of stuff in the back.A lot of crofters have them. The landy was a real workhorse but too expensive for us out here.

I love them ...but have to remain sensible......only when I find burried treasure can I not remain sensible, either that or sell the house and buy one!! not enviouse one bit cause I want a Black one

My 2001 110 TD5 has been brilliant, cant fault it. I love em! It isnt too bad on fuel either, considering what a lump of metal it is!

[Bangbang]

Ahhh! I want one!

If you get board with it I'll swap my wifes van with you! (55D escort van 1995 model - with alloys!)

ENJOY!!!!!

Bangbang!

Oh, I'm jealous 

I loved our 110. Never mind that you had to bundle up in hats and scarves on the journey up to the Cairngorms, that it had to do 17 point turns in Aviemore Tesco car park cos it had no power steering.....

On the day when even the Police cars were sticking to the inside lane that had been cleared of snow, hubby said that he woke just as I was pulling confidently into the outside uncleared lane knowing that the 110 would get us (and the big caravan I was towing) safely through 

I was plotting a 90 as well as a car, so that I had something to get out of the dale in, on snowy or flooded days. But I am mechanically inept, so had to go for a reliable Nissan instead!

[bloomer]

i dont have land so i cant justify it but a defender 110 will be my car of choice if ever i get the opportunity...

love the beasts...

[Cinderhills]

How exciting for you!!  We got our 1995 90 last January so I understand how you feel. 

[mab]

I'm very envious!

There's only one thing better than a defender - a  Series IIA

it looks like it has been refurbished   or re chassied and rebuilt
