I've had it suggested that I'm being a bit fussy in my hunt for a 90, and amongst other things it's taking a fair bit of getting used to that when looking at Landy's you're not always going to see a book of service stamps of any sort - "I've had it ten years and done it all myself". How much...

I'm also on the lookout (Midlands area) if anyone knows of anyone with anything decent.

I think Liveridge are out the frame anyway mainly due to price and I don't think their target market is the "I want that bog standard unmolested one please" people i.e. me! The hunt continues and it's ****ing depressing how little is out there unless you live in Wiltshire or Perthshire!

Went to have a look today. Don't claim to be a mechanical expert but it started/drove soundly enough, chassis looked alright but again I don't claim to be applying any more than common sense - ultimately it was a bit more of a nail with the bodywork and interior than I'm looking for so the hunt...

Bit chavvy IMO - I want something unmolested without chequer plate and lifts and stuff (no offence to anyone just each to their own). I think I'll go take a look and if it seems sound suggest he gets it MOT'd and if it passed I'm not sure I can haggle/quibble too much - I'd prefer something I...

Still on the hunt for a 90, found another one on a slightly obscure farmers ads site (not Farming Ads) that someone suggested, advertised at £3.5k + VAT Described as: M reg 92 k Just serviced - all oils changed, new heater plugs, air filter etc.. 300 TDi engine New front bumper...

OK so on the subject of too cheap... 2006 LAND ROVER DEFENDER td5 county

It'll be gone before I'd have chance to even go look, so perhaps it was more of a general question as, until now, I'd only really considered the 200/300 tdi engined models - but I admit that I have no real idea why I'd ruled out the earlier vehicles.

Cheap compared to what most 90's seem to be going for on the mainstream sites unless you're bloody lucky and "know someone who has one for sale".

Humour me eBay Truck Cab Obviously photos can hide a thousand issues but on the face of it this look OK - as a novice looking for something as a "bit of fun" that will get to/from the tip, around town, plus 20 miles each way to/from work when the mood/weather suits, what would I gain from...

Take your time. I've been looking for a couple of months and whilst I'm impatient I'm not going to rush into buying something just because it's either cheap or available. Because I started looking when we had a little snow I assumed the high prices were due to that, but I think it's just where...

This has caught my eye. Bit of a trek and will likely be gone by the weekend but... 1998 LAND ROVER DEFENDER land rover 90 truck cab

Nope, hadn't heard of them so that's another one to try. Keep 'em coming! :)

Still looking - Silkstone have a very nice looking 1999 hard top with side windows but it just feels a bit much for what it is possibly, not sure. As ever if anyone knows of anyone selling anything please let me know (the "Wanted" section here seems to get very few views).

Yes I'm very conscious of buying something "cheap" now and then spending a lot on cosmetic bits and bobs let alone mechanical things hence half-tempted to get something newer that shouldn't need a lot more than servicing.
