I'm totally new to Series Land Rovers and would welcome some advice/suggestions.
I am looking to spend up to £1500-£2000 on a series land rover. Use will be very limited...it might not be used for weeks...and then be used for a short local journey of maybe 10 miles. Essentially it's a vehicle to load up with stuff that I don't want to put in the 'normal' car; a vehicle to add a trailer to and most importantly, when the local lanes are flooded/snowed under we can get down to the shops.
So..which model? petrol? diesel? Am I right in saying that if it is of sufficient vintage then it is exempt from vehicle excise duty? Is there any current or impending legislation re exhaust emissions, for example, that will force these elderly stalwarts off the road or force through very expensive modifications?
Any good books or magazines to read?
many thanks for any advcie
