That's why it makes the difference having a 90. It's cheaper insurance by far than any other 4x4 as it is still classed as utility like I said. The one thing I will mention though is that the insurance we had was with Lancaster as they insure older vehicles and classed the 90 as utility. Also I know NFU Mutual offered really good quotes too. Worth looking into and an old series land rover can do everything that a 90 can do, you might even get one that's tax exempt with a new engine...lol.

It all sounds very technical....

Tax exempt, some decent tyres and you'll be off! I'll find and post a video in a min to show what these can do! Insurance would be well cheap on these. Hard to get in an accident when you have to struggle to reach 50mph...lol

Yeah I can see that. It is frustrating because the insurance on his SJ413 LWB was plenty affordable Shame a forestry tractor killed it. come to that, the insurance on his Delica was not all that bad either, but he had three years NCB on that.

lol, I tried to keep up wit it but i ended up totally confuzzeled......although, thats not saying much!

Are the air portables a good choice ? always fancied one, used to drive them loads when I was in the mob, all the panels could come off and they used scavenger engines, basically run on an fuel available, used to wander all over the road though,or it could have been my driving skills

And this one I'd buy in a shot if I had the money.

The problems he's mentioned are an easy fix on these vehicles as they are so easy to get to and get parts for cheaply! This one obviously goes off road already and looks like it's been down some narrow roacky lanes....love it! Tax exempt again too with nice new seats!

Have you ever driven one of these old boys Mike? If you haven't, you need to give it a go. A bit like the original Mini....not comfortable or refined, but a really good fun drive and always makes you smile and feel good!
