I love my Series 3. Easy to fix, particularly in the field. Virtually unstoppable. We broke a rear half-shaft last year. Just stuck it in four wheel drive and carried on, using the drive to the front wheels! Very EMP-resilient, and parts so cheap you can afford to basically store a replacement car in boxes in your garage. Very easy to modify and customise, from putting in storage-units, to converting it to a camper, to putting in additional electrics and secondary battery. Excellent off-road. Mine copes with our woodland better than the Defender. It's much lighter. It's a 1981 and cost me £1400.
What I should really do is stick a normally-aspirated diesel in it. That way, given a decent set of spares, I imagine it would keep me going well after TSHTF. You can stick pretty much anything in a basic diesel; cooking oil, heating oil, Jet A1...
Try a 300 tdi engine last of the ECU engines
