2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

What next????

I run 2 Land Rovers - a 10 year old Defender TDi300 90 CSW and the RRS... I have an option to buy a TDv8 RRS but what will be the price? The Def is getting more and more expensive to keep on the road, mainly because it only does 3000 miles a year. The TDv6 Sport goes from strength to strength and gets better by the day...................... but it is too nice to take offroading to the same extent as the 90, without major padding underneath and risking severe scratching to the body. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Tim - simple point, this is a RRS forum. We love the car. What do you think we will say. Do you honestly think we will say get rid of the RRS buy a freelander/D3. The only options in my eyes is sell the defender and buy a freelander for offroad use - or sell the defender and get the money spent on the RRS to make it top notch offroad stuff! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

VA I love my RRS too much to want to take it to the places that I take the 90 to...................... it would suffer too much damage underneath and on the body panels. I wouldn't have the same worries with a 2nd hand D3! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

At the risk of being accused of taking this too seriously if Tim wants to keep off-roading in the style to which he's become accustomed then he needs a Defender

If he's going to slim down to one vechicle and carry on off-roading fearlessly as before then he needs a Defender...

All well and good, but who wants to move their daily driver to a Defender?
