Larry,
Let me know if you are serious about a Land Rover.  I can give you some 
ideas about what to look for for problems & what it would take to fix things.
Since Land Rovers are still in production, you can still get genuine factory
parts :*)  I get mine mail order from New hampshire.  If I am willing to pay
overnight, I can get any part for the LR new or used, next day.

Land Rovers have more charisma in its lug nuts than most cars have in their
whole body. They are not very fast & do'nt have all the comforts for a
city new car driver, and they are noisy inside.

Land Rovers are true classic roadsters with a removable hard top (or soft top)
and removable metal side cutrins.  The engine, while underpowered, has been
described by pro mechanics as seriously overbuilt.  The car was ment to 
survive the charge of a adult bull rino & be field striped in the jungle
with esentually a screwdriver & cresent wrench.

If you get one, you will have to deal with people going ga ga over it in 
parking lots, frequent honks from strangers  & people staring at your car
as they drive past.  You also have to deal with people who think it is
a Japanese imatation (land Cruser).

If you decide to get even more serious about charisma & look at the LR,
let me know what you find out about it & I'll tell you what to look for.

Good luck with your newDamiler (anothes
Another seriuos charisma car).

TeriAnn
