4 x 4 yeah but which one and why ?

Defenders/110/90's are about as reliable as you can get, and if you do break them, you can usually fix them at the roadside and get them going again.

Stories of Land Rover reliability are like urban myths. How many other vehicles have been in production for 60+ years and still have 70+% of them still operating and driving on the roads. Even the modern TD5's are pretty much bullet proof and are the choice of 'extreme' off-roaders being used in space framed buggies and rock crawlers etc.

Yes the Toyota Hilux and Land Cruisers are great vehicles, but come on, this is the UK, if you need to find spares before or after an event, well the country is riddled with Landies everywhere, you can't say the same about Toyota's or Jeep's or Dacia's....., so the choice for me is simple.

Also Defenders are NOT comfortable, they are not necessarily even that practical, but they are hugely capable, have massive third party spares and part suppliers (in addition to the main dealers) and most importantly of all they put huge grin on your face every time you drive one. So for me its an easy decision.
