My mat has got his heart set on a Landy (90/Defender) but as a bit clueless....

He basically wants one for th image and to use to go camping etc. Now the thing is he isn't spanner cabable himself and has never owned anything that isn't a eurobox....

oh and he has 2k to spend....

Am i correct in thinking that 2k is just not enough for a decent (well, working....) Defender or 90? will that even get a Series?

I owned a Series for a while when I was younger and loved the idea but as a daily it was just impossible and i'm a spannering car nut!.....with a TVR!

What sort of money are you looking at for a reliable and tidy ish early 90? (I think a Seris would just be too basic tbh)

Wants a landy and can't turn a spanner? That's not going to go well,

For 2000 you could get a decent discovery or a ropey 90
For sentiments exactly!

I said if he wants a 4x4 then to look at a Disco or even be more sensible and look at Jap stuff, get far more car for his 2 bags. But alas...
