Hi Guys
I'm starting to look for a tow car. To tow Defenders on a car transporter. One at a time.
I've 'tripped over' a 2011 Vogue SE that's on my doorstep and it's maintained at a Land Rover specialist that I know well. The catch is, it's done 170,000 miles, although the price reflects that. The seller is getting it MoT'd before I go to see it and it'll be prepared by the specialist. The sellers agreed for me to inspect the vehicle when it's being worked on.
I don't plan to do more than 10,000 miles a year and the vast majority of that will be motorway miles.
My query is. Should I beat feet as fast as I can. Away from such a vehicle. And instead, look at 3.6 TDV8s with under 100,000 miles? I have found one, that looks like it's been as equally well kept as the 4.4 TDV8. The kicker is, that it will involve a flight to go get it and then a long journey home. The cost isn't the issue. My variable mobility is though.
Any comments and advice gratefully received. ( Incidentally, I am familiar with RR Classics and Defenders, having owned both, but am not so familiar with the L322.)
