What cheap 4x4 should i get?
Hi
I am thinking of getting a 4x4 to use for shooting and outdoor trips. I currently own an MGZS, which, as you can imagine is suffering going down muddy tracks etc. I want something very very cheap to buy and run but also very reliable. The vehicle is going to be used off road across pot-holed muddy tracks, fields and through forrests and is never going to see a school run. I would like room for at least 4 people, plus some gear. I have been looking at some Land Rover Series I and II on the web and they do look very tempting. In essence I am after: a diesel don't matter if it is permenant 4WD or not. under £1000 to buy very low insurance group no fancy gizmos no "need for speed" can anyone offer any advice? -Demon -UK |

Ok. so if i got a 4x4 as cheap as possible, what model is the cheapest
to maintain - i.e. spares etc. Our family will ultimately have three cars (My MGZS, 4x4, and her whatever she gets).
