Good Budget

The times come to be able to buy a landrover after finding out disco's cost
Fortunes to insure I have the same budget looking for a series I'm looking to drive 5 miles each way to work every day in it also greenlaning. I don't care for much in it and I'm assuming I can put a radio in it? Nothing special just so I can get radio 1. So you opinions with what I have mentioned? Should I save for a 90 or be fine with the series? Thanks for thus guys

Save for a 90

Not surprised TBH. Even in a Series your going to get stung.......

You can't be so black and White with valuation like this. As said above, just saying a galvanised chassis isn't enough, what's the point of a decent chassis if your running a crap gearbox and running gear. I'd put more attention to checking the gearbox & bulkhead than chassis, cheaper to keep patching chassis than replacing gearbox for rebuilt unit..

Interesting. I'll eat humble pie on that then. Who's that with out of curiosity ?

A series (and early 90's) should be insured as a classic with any of the usual suspects. Yes there are a few conditions, limited mileage being one, i found however, on a completely different subject, that series speedometers are very cheap on ebay if anyone needed a spare or that my speedo cable had a habit of disconnecting....

That was online through a comparison company justto give me an idea.

So 1500 is bit optimistic would £2000 be a good amount for a 90

For insurance?? If you get an early 90 footman james will do you a classic policy without you having to prove no claims bonus..i give 130 fully comp for a 1984 90 with a disco 200tdi conversion.

I would think you should pick up a reasonable running one for that - don't expect concours, as they are going up in value - that said, there are some bargains out there if you want to spend some time on it.

Otherwise, one that requires finishing will be quite acheivable.

Well I have phoned around done myhomework!
Discovery:1000
Defender:700
Series:270

Work that out so a series is a deferent now! So will get hunting!!!
