>> Anyone have any comments, good or bad, about ex-military Land Rovers?
>> I thought one might be nice to own, but have zero experience with

>>
>> I hit on the ol Landy because I was looking for something inexpensive
>> and yet reliable like my old Volvo C-202 and sized comparable to my
>> M151. Saw quite a few for sale over on Milweb.org, prices seem
>> reasonable, even after import costs I could probably get my money

>> So, any thoughts on what model and year might be the best bang for the
>> buck...(shopping around $8,000 USD) 101's, 110's, Defenders, LHD of
> course?
>> I've heard some horror stories about the frames on lightweights
>> getting bent easy and subject to rust, but never heard that from any
>> credible source. I wouldn't mind a diesel, but is petrol better or
>> this just a personal choice thing?
>>
>> Thanks in advance for your opinions!
