For those wondering, it's a Defender 90 that I am eyeing up. I had a Puma a few years back which I sold for the 718 Porsche. Won't bore you with the reasoning behind that! However, while I totally enjoyed my stint with Porsche, I never stopped looking back at the Defender I sold and to this day an Aintree Green Defender 90 has me whipping my head to get a look! In a way, it ticks a few boxes that drove me to Morgan. Quintessentially British, hand made, questionable build quality from time to time and flawed in many ways. But the love there is strong!
I know exactly where you are coming from! Every time I have sold off one of my Land Rovers I have ended up looking for another within a year. The present one stays until I can no longer drive. Have thought of selling the 4/4 several times as I hardly use it, but it's now the wrong time of year, so it will get a few runs out before next spring, then we'll see. It mostly boils down to the struggle to exit (no problem entering, hood down) and the necessity of wearing a different set of (narrow) footwear so I won't use it for short trips,
