Its a 1996 on a P Ford Maverick, makes an excellent workhorse.Its really a Nissan Terrano II underneath which means japanese build quality and reliability and they seem well priced compared with an equivalent Discovery... I would have thought a beat up old Patrol would be good value for money, stay away from Landies as they hold their value well. A Discovery might be an option and it'll have better road manners than a Landrover. Depends what your budget is really...

Re: 4x4's
I'd forgotten about a few of them especially the frontera. Looking about theres a few cheap discoveries and shoguns and petrol fronteras but I would rather have a diesel...

Re: 4x4's
It depends whether you want a 4x4 to do some proper off roading or just incased you get stuck on a muddy path again and of course what your budget is?
If it's the just the occasional muddy path then i'd be tempted to go for a Volvo xc70 cross country as it has awd and more ground clearance than a standard car
