# I'd not be offering more than 300 for it.
You'd be better off buying a 10 year old 7 seat discovery 4x4 for under a grand if you want that kind if utility vehicle.

# ebay is not the book price
of vehicles. It's just a snapshot of what people think they can get away with.
As I say, why pay for something like that at a hugely inflated price based on nostalgia when the vehicle that will outlast them all happens to be a Toyota.

# Toyota Hi-Lux.
That is all. Has the added advantage of not being British and unreliable.

# Up to you.
The fact remains that when your land rover falls to bits you can throw it all in tha back of a 30 year old hi lux and drag it to the quarry for dumping.
It's is the most indestructible 4x4 on the road.
I know you like British but I speak my mind and I have some knowledge of land Rover.
You are paying for nostalgia and certainly not product.

# I said he'd be better off.
I would not touch either of them. I have a Mitsubishi Warrior for my 4x4 needs.

# oh dear god!
you've not got the awkward back cab bit that looks like it's come from a different airfix kit have you? it's like they got the guy who designed the fiat multipla to do it.

# by 4x4 i assume you mean
the school run and that pot hole near waitrose, which seems to what most people use them for.
