Defender 90 50th Anniv. Advice sought!

[Pugsey]

Having thought better of it and cancelled my order for a 60th SoftTop now looking for a 50th Anniv.V8. Thing is, it's to replace our seven year old Def.90 which has been a good solid, ultra reliable workhorse for the six years we've owned it during which time we've averaged about 6,000 miles a year. Can we expect a 50th to be as faithful and any thought/advice on buying? Won't go off road - other than very occasional very gentle green lane (it's the short cut to our local pub!) and petrol consumption is NOT an issue so lets not bother with that!

Cheers guys (and girls).

Bugger, topic should read 'Advice' (obviously) but don't know how to correct.

BlueT - very nice! Seems a very good price? How many miles had she done when you got her. it looks as if I'll have to pay a bit more than that now for a good one. Which ultimately is a good sign I guess!

Cheers guys. Site very useful. Nenes were certainly already pretty much top of my list and I agree that, whilst not being the cheapest, they do consistantly seem to have good cars and as this will be a 'keeper' the car is more important than 'saving' a few £ks. I'll keep you posted on how my search goes!
