BUY AN OLD DEFENDER

There will be a new Defender and it most likely won’t be identical to the old one. As a result, demand for the late models increases exponentially. The odd thing is that the proper, seriously uncomfortable Series models can still be bought for realistic money. Get in early to pay less than the five-figure sums being asked for the run-outs. Go back to the 1990s for a 2.5 TDI 90 with a full MOT at £6995. If you need a 110, then a 1998 110 in County spec is £7995.
