One of the reason I didn't buy a P38 is because of our 3 medium sized
dogs (Bearded Collies)
With fold down rear door it's quite high for older dogs to jump in to.
Also boot is not very large, but if rear seats are folded forward they
obstruct rear side doors, making it difficult for example, just to open
rear door and chuck in a bit of shopping. Also difficult/impossible for
dogs to enter that way too. At the time I went for a Jeep grand Cherokee
instead, 4 litre straight 6 petrol. May colleague at the time went for
DSE RR. It's performance was absolute crap compared to the Jeep and
although they were similar basic price to equip the RR to the same level
as the Jeep would have cost about another 10K .
When I retired and the Jeep went back I bought a 50th Anniversary
Defender 90 and converted it to LPG. Rubber matting on the floor, dogs
can leap in and out OK plenty of room and who cares if it gets mucky -
it's still only a Land Rover.
