+ses
Great fun
Parts and advice readily available
Shorter and therefore easier to park that a 110
More economical than a 110 (just)
Less windows to scrape ice off than a 110 (inside and out!)

-ses
Not fun when it breaks (probably often)
Parts and advice needed readily
Shorter than a 110
Will stain your driveway

Have fun, Stew

Depends why you want one, I guess ...

If you want one to look good and look like an off-roader then fine, doesn't
matter much, but if it is mainly for road use then don't get off-road tyres,
you'll regret it just from road noise alone, let alone grip etc.

If you want one as a real off-roader, then get one that hasn't been tricked
up to look like an off-roader, unless you know it's been done properly to
actually go off-road. If you don't know what 'properly' is, don't.

Saw a lovely one the other day, winch, snorkel, 35" tyres, quards, Jate
rings etc. Spoke to the owner, as you do, to discuss local 'places' and
clubs etc, but it and he had never been off-road ... ever. I felt such a
fool, with my muddy Disco ...

Do you mean Brand new or new to you? How many miles a year? And do
you like comfort / luxuries of modern cars??

If Brand new - It'll still leak, still be cold in winter until it
warms up (not wanting to state the obvious)... but the heaters take
AGES to get warm.

If you like mod cons... look towards a disco - even new ones are
basic.

If your not talking about brand new, they are all more or less the
same - you pays your money and takes your chance. Buy something that
hasnt been tricked up to look the part with crap components.

Deals are there to be had if you look hard enough... then the fun
begins.

Enjoy!

There's always a clue - if the accessories are shiney, they are not used.
It it looks standard and it's smashed to bits, it is used as Our Lord
Wilkes intended (Que mobs of Discovery owners oustide Embassies etc.)
