Learned to drive at 15 in an ex-military Series 2 in the mid '60s and rarely been without a Series or Defender since (very much a SWB man) ... currently have a 300tdi 90 with a galv chassis, a mild lift and a 6.5 ton winch on the front always muddy and a total workhorse ... neither me or Mrs Image use anything else for all the routine daily stuff ... as you say, a real hoot (we do have the Morgan for fun ... MG for racing .... 4.5 tonne Iveco for towing said racer ... and a few motorcycles to ring the changes a bit! 😀) ... and, despite the opinions of idiots on facebook it's been totally dependable ... just keeps chugging on and has never failed to get us home safe and sound whatever the weather!
