well, it is hard to match some of those criteria, a disco has air con, but is hard to find a decent one for that kind of money. a defender can always have an autobox fitted, but they generally dont have air con, but this can also always be installed. it is generally quite easy to find a decent one for the money you are tlking. an old rangie is perfect. they have air con (most), cheap, are automatic. persoanally, looking at the things that fit your criteria, a rangie would be ideal, but if a defender floats ya boat, you can always have the criteria you want fitted into it. hope this helps... cheers Rob (16)
