Thanks for the informative reply, both cars are indeed station wagens eg 5 doors ... I'll need to see them side by side to see how much smaller the 70 is. I would like to be able to sleep inside rather than on a roof tent.
It seems they both have the 4.0 ltr diesel engine which is a big plus. Point taken about the auto box and that’s a minus point for the 70 (troopie). The main purpose of buying it, is to drive overland to India and take something which is reliable, affordable on a carnet !! and comfortable to drive.
I do like the idea of the vertical split doors on the 70 as apposed to the horizontal on the 60 – I guess a conversion is possible if I could ever find one in Europe.
A 80 series is in budget, but I guess everything starts to become more expensive from parts to fuel and carnets.
Thanks for the links.
Kind regards
Matt
