PeskyWabbits 464 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 My Series III is 43 years old. I got it because I like old cars, like Land Rovers, like British cars and because it was fit for purpose. I have a smallholding and use it as a farm truck. I also go cutting trees down and any car you can put sections of tree trunk in the back of must be good. Yes it is thirsty - 12 mpg. It is an ex-RAF gun carriage, but I have used it to tow tractors and wagons out of muddy fields. Yes it is uncomfortable - like riding in a horse and cart Yes, almost, everybody wants one It is fit for purpose. Even I can mend it if it breaks. It doesn't break that often and usually it is only a cheap repair. Old technology, old money repair costs. I am sure there are other makes that would be just as good, but you don't really see them in their second decade. Hi Luxs are reputed to be good. There are plenty round by me, in farm yards with broken chassis and loadbeds filled with junk. People invest in their Land Rovers, keep fettling them, keep them going. Because the basic design is sound and it is still fit for purpose decades on. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
