After my second puncture on pothole-ridden country roads, and numerous narrow escapes from rustic and/or aged and/or over the limit maniacs driving full pelt the other way, I'm thinking of going for a four-wheel drive vehicle like a Landrover or Range Rover or some such 4 wheel drive model.
Any ideas and recommendations for sites that would sell something suitable? I'd prefer a high mileage old knockabout which has extra springy suspension, and a high draft, and on which the odd extra ding or slight dent doesn't matter a fig, the kind of thing a farmer would use and not worry about leaving it in a muddy yard.
The Toyota Landcruiser looks OK, although the ones I see advertised for sale look worryingly new and well-looked after, which is precisely what I'm trying to avoid!
Also, the 2 litre engine on the cheaper used Toyotas don't seem large enough - I'd be happier with a 3 litre engine, which could get me up hills with no trouble.
