Hi,new member here, I already have a small collection of 5 classic cars ranging from 1938 to 2006, but currently no land rover. Most of my cars have been purchased because the opportunity arose, not as part of any plan, and I have seen a range rover that I really like the look of.
It's a 1989 vogue with the 3.5 litre engine just prior to the introduction of the 3.9, so what should I be looking out for before buying it? I have no experience yet with Land rovers apart from some previous discovery ownership, and while I would do all mechanical work myself any bodywork or electrickery issues would have be done by a specialist, so its more the bodywork and electrical side that i am concerned about. Poking around on the net I understand that there were corrosion problems caused by low quality steel introduced at around this this time, is there any way to know, via chassis number or whatever if the object of my desire might suffer from this? Or anything else come to that.
