Hi Dudes and Dudettes
I'm Topper, and new to the forum.
I've been a long time LandRover owner, Disco 2, Range Rover P38, Defender 110, Series 3 so know a thing or two about off-roading and modifying Landies but the wife and I are about to start a bit of Global Overlanding. Our first BIG trip is scheduled for Namibia in February / March next year, with the vehicle being shipped from the UK.
I have an initial budget of circa £10k, which will include any initial mods / mechanical work etc. More money will be available over the months prior to actually taking on any big adventures.
I already own a roof tent.
By all accounts the 80 Series (VX(?)) is the most capable for overlanding and there are a couple of examples for sale currently in the UK for under £10k, but this will only leave me an initial pot of circa £1-£2k for any initial work that needs completing.
On the other hand a lot of people successfully overland with a 100 series (Amazon(?)) and these, certainly at an entry point are more affordable.
With the 80 I get a bit more prestige (?), a better vehicle (?), and with the ceiling price for these being significant I could mod the 80 and ultimately not lose every £££ put into it.
The 100 thought, with it being cheaper means I could initially buy a good vehicle and get it fully serviced / checked over and still have cash for suspension, storage etc etc
What would you guys and girls do? |

How many miles are on the 80's you're finding for under 10K?
Dont forget the 90 and the 120 |
