Hello guys well im very interested in the landrovers so i decided to join the forum (trying to convince dad the 90 defender is the way to go )

So yeah im 16 and hopefully passing my driving test next year, i know i probley wont be able to get a landrover (all my mates think im mad for liking them lol ) but i simply use the phrase 'yeah but i can get anywhere in a landrover' lol anyways thought id join and gather up some infomation.... so here i am now... Im based in the northeast (durham) and ive seen a couple of nice landrovers in my g/f's street... but unsure of any offroad centers up here

Hope all is well and thanks for lisening

Seriously though there are some bargains about and some complete rubbish as well-if you do want a project look hard and spend wisely.

get a cheap series 111 to start with as your insurance will be best that way....

I've done that and don't regret it. Costs me £1K in insurance where as a defender is nearer £2.5K (i'm 17 by the way).

All me friends think i am crazy right till i take them off roading (then they think i'm a complete nutter)

..thats where i started.im now at 300 quid for a modded 4.0 V8...

so guys you would recomend the series 3 then ?

Is there no way at all i could get maybe a 94 defender? how much insurance would i be looking at ?

Insurance depends whether you are named driver or on someone elses, look on fleabay and find a couple of landys that you like take the reg from the picture and do a price comparison website search (confused.com gave me my best quote with the post office)

Series rovers are quite agricultural in comparison to a defender (thats saying something) and i went for a series 3 as they tend to be the cheaper ones, as well as getting the synchromesh on all gears and a 5br engine.
