Thanks all for some more great advice. The seller is a garage and I have chatted to the mechanic who has been up front and believed they had the SH in the folder but it appears not. He is happy to put it on the ramp and owns an 80 himself so does know LCs I do wonder re spending so much and...

Cheers Guys. My biggest concern was lack of history.

Evening I have found a 120 on a 56 plate LC5 with 149k on the clock. They are asking 8k with a service , cam belt and 4 new injectors to be fitted. It is described as very clean underneath but the only history it has is a bill for 1300 back in the summer of 2020 where it’s had full service...

The 100 are great cars and if I can get a good one then would be a keeper but as you say prices seem high at the moment

juddian - thanks for that

Huge amount to think about and thanks to you all for taking time to comment. the defender went as it was too small for the family and being6 2 was not exactly spacious. wouldnt ever consider a Disco ( but thanka for the suggestion Higgy ) Likely a 100 or a 120. Just need to get out there now...

Some great advice , Thankyou all it is really appreciated. And I welcome any more advice and views as this wil be the first LC for me ( but I doubt it will stay at one once the bug catches!) I think from the comments a 120 may be the way to go so will start looking for a solid one with good...

Cheers Higgy will probably be a big far in current time and ideally would like a newer vehicle so probably a 120 will be the most likely but agree cyc for its age.

Higgy. Where in the country was the decent 100 truck you had a look at?

Higgy. Thanks for that. I suppose covid tax is kicking in for trucks at the moment hence the all over the place pricing. I am down in Hampshire but happy to travel (when allowed) to have look at trucks. cheers

Sounds like the perfect truck . Just need to find a good one now. Cheers Paul

Will have a good look around when I find one . Appreciate the advice

That’s the idea as you see so many high mileage and older vehicles still on the road. Will hopefully be a keeper if I can find the right one. I took about a year to find my defender as soon many are rust ridden abs poorly maintainer

Ah that makes sense. I understand it’s the sills that need checking. Any other prime areas?

Hi I aspire to having one for overland and one for daily use ....of I can get this one in the family then the second will be a natural progression
