Ok, so I've decided I need to add another vehicle to the fleet. I don't actually want a van, more a car I can shove anything and everything in. I'd also like something that will 'fit in' with the rest of my garage, and thus my reputation locally (don't ask).

I've been looking at old discos, which would seem to fit the bill. Can the rear seats be taken out to mae a flat load bay though? I would assume they can't.

Quite fancy an old rangie too, but I'd feel a bit bad about trundling round with all manner of greasy bits in it.

Of course I could just bag a sheddy R75 estate, but perhaps a 4x4 would be more fun. It is nearly winter after all.

Ideas, chaps?!

Don't appeal at all. Ideally something roverish in some form smile

Most old Discos are utter nails unless you're paying £2k+ so be prepared for knackered engines, leaky sunroofs and rust everywhere, especially the boot floor and rear inner wheelarches. In my experience half of them have been used as builders vans already and they do have a flat loadspace.

How about an LDV Pilot, loads of cheap ex-Royal Mail ones out there, and you're clearly some kind of motoring masochist so you'll feel right at home in one hehe
Oooh, an LDV does appeal!

How about an Isuzu Trooper van? You know it makes sense.

Do quite like that.
