I believe you are correct in that 1992 was the last year without EAS. Actually, in some parts of Europe EAS was available in 1992 on the LWB (LSE) The last Classic was made in Feb 1996. I doubt you'll ever find a 96 Classic. Very Limited Production. Plenty of nice 1995's, though, with the modern "soft" dashboard, like the Disco with much better ergonomics, better HVAC, etc. I have a 1992 Classic County with 190k on it, V8, still runs fine but needs headgasket. Planning on getting to it in the spring. No EAS. Has been a very good car. We did buy a P38, (95 4.0SE) and guess what? Its being towed 100 miles away to the nearest Land Rover dealer tommorow! Won't start, security issue, needs testbook to reset. Dealer gets $100 US / hr. The Classic has never not started, even when -20F. Actually, we used the Classic to drag the 4.0 back home when it refused to start across the street.

On another thought, however, the P38 has run very well, and has had no other problems. Its bigger than the Classic and very good looking. The EAS has been converted to coils / Bilstein shocks. This is a fairly cheap / easy conversion, so you could buy newer and just convert EAS.

We really like the 92 Classic. Ride is better than P38, has power moonroof, factory CD, keyless, heated leather, etc. Good luck.
