How about a 60 series? they come up on ebay reasonably often and a good one should cost no more than 2000-2500 gb pounds. They are, I am told, much cheaper here than abroad and certainly cheaper than the 70's. I have owned four landrovers and now own a landcruiser. I have often heard it said that if you are good with spanners a landrover is a good choice, being simpler to fix. Otherwise, and if your life depends on your vehicle starting in the morning, get a landcruiser. the 60 series are as hard as nails, and you won't get the equivalent landrover for twice the money, just watch out for rust, you have to watch for this on landrovers as well (contrary to popular belief) and it seems as though the newer a landy the worse the rustproofing.
