The family has used my 1971 Series 11a since I bought it back in 1999. It has broken down only twice in that time- despite being used as everything from builders van to recovery vehicle and tractor. It is also unconditionally loved by all the grandchildren.
My wife’s Puma -110 has been in the family for only 7 years. Only fault has been the windscreen wiper stop failed and a blocked fuel tank breather. Never let us down.
My Freelander fell apart - it might have been down to a failed stump- pulling that the 11a finished!!
I looked at buying a new Defender- but somehow couldn’t see myself using the £90k beast in the same way as we use the existing Landys.
I have a strong feeling that the existing ( and hopefully future) crop of grandchildren will be big Landy fans like their parents and grandparents!
