Well for a long time I have been after a land rovr 90 or 110 (110 would have been ideal) and over teh last 3 years I have seen a lot of Land rover 90s and every one was rubbish.
My need for something a bit more of a utility vehicle has been proved because for teh last 10 years I have had "skip cars" cars that get the rear seats flipped down and used to rip about in filled with building materials, tools and the last 4 years... bees.
I nearly lost all faith in finding a Landy that was decent and I went to teh dark side and bought an over priced vauxhall combo van which I gave back to the seller as it was dog poo.
After then looking at loads more vans I decided to increase my budget to £5k to find a Land Rover 90/110. This was a better budget but still everything I looked at was terrible and rotten. I posted on all teh groups and a few got back to me but one stood out and after chatting and what not I decided I wanted to keep looking. Well a few months past and I still was not any nearer so I decided to message the guy again and see if he had sold the 90 and he had not.
The next day I was in newbury barracks looking at this landy.
It has had a lot of work done on it including having teh bulkhead removed and repaired (not teh best repair but at least its all metal) it has a lovely 2.5 petrol engine and only done 93K miles.
As soon as I saw it and its condition it was teh right one for me... I did the deal and £4600 later and the courier was booked to bring it home.
It has not had an MOT for a long time so it has been a bit of a project.
