Hi Nick,
Sorry to miss you earlier this year.I had a Series II V8 for 6 years.Went all round rock and sand deserts of Oman and UAE in it several times.Fitted after market rear shockers and 255 R70 16 AT tyres and it would go everywhere the LCs went provided I picked the best line.Never had a mechanical problem,great vehicle!
Downsides!Small fuel tank(depends where you are),usual crap with non working peripheral gizmos like windows and doorlocks.
Had I still been in ME I would have bought another for the same reason as you.
Latterly owned a 4.8l Patrol...now there's a vehicle!!!!
