It is worrying how quickly you found that image.

The chunky tyre and stuff being new means it’s been used to tow shit across fields, so avoid. For 4x4 the more towing they do the more fucked the gearbox, mechanicals, brakes and clutch will be. If you buy one, get one without a tow bar and been used as a shopping trolley.

The list of things that are working is a good thing, because its a Land Rover, so bits of them often don’t.

I would also second the comment about being wary due to the tow bar and the tyres, however the general condition of it plus the baby seats in the back suggest to me that it has actually spent its life as a shopping cart and these additions were probably just for show.

The only bits I dont like are the wear on the driver’s seat, which are in the classic ‘fat owner’ position, and the aftermarket stereo, which clearly shows that the owner is a scoundrel.

On the whole, though, I’d give it a cautious “worth viewing”.

You can pull a Smart Car along behind you, it’s the done thing you know :slight_smile:

You should get one. Your good lady can drive the motorhome while you sit in the Mazda being towed by it :slight_smile:
