I've had a variety of LR products in the past, so under no illusions RE reliability or build quality. Second car. Occasional use, shooting, camping, stalking etc. No deliberate 'fast show' style off-roading, just not getting stuck doing the above. Already have a Subaru Outback for OH everyday/school run use.

What would you choose and why?

A Series is a million miles from a more modern Range Ranger and not even worth a comparison. Both good vehicles, but opposite ends of the spectrum.
Quite. A point which is so obviously apparent I'm surprised anyone would bother to make it. Hence I asked which you would buy and why?

But we aren't the ones buying. So what I'd do, or what someone else would do, is unlikely to be the same as you, or fit your wants/uses.
You are aware that posting in threads is not compulsory, right? If you have no meaningful input feel free to grab a coffee or something. I'm just curious as to other Land Rover owners perspectives, that's all. I'm not even necessarily buying, just considering 2nd car options, and maybe looking for inspiration. That's why people come here generally, to discuss cars. I may well end up putting the money into a new bathroom, or some more aircraft bits. I even have another XJ and an Alfa Brera Q4 V6 on the shortlist hehe
