Good Points
Classic style in a baked bean can....fantastic off road, few newer production 4x4's can compare...aside from maybe comfort!!!
Bad Points
Noisy, slow, prone to breaking down (though no more than any other 30+ year old (including me!)
General Comments
Land Rover Series 3 88:
The best child's fantasy made real! A 30 year old Tonka toy that with limited mechanical know how and a bit (lot?) of perceverance you can can have great fun both off road, on road and on driveway!
O.k. ... its a pig to drive, goes slower on road than you can run, is uncomfortable, and forget it if you think your wife will love it as much as you do, but for the money you can not beat it for style that turns heads (even those in porche 911's will look with a tinge of envy!)
Prepare to get your hands dirty, your feet wet and muddy and put a smile on your face, all for a couple of grand!
Performance is measured Off Road by the way!!!
