Fucking stop: it’s making me hanker, and buying the sodding Hilux was supposed to scratch that itch!
Love this one. Pop up roof is the dream.
And this one.
Git 
Please get one so I can have a go and realise it was a mad idea all along.

Good points:
It’s on the extra-long wheelbase.
Bad points:
£40K - FORTY FUCKING GRAND!
For an averagely-well converted ex-mil ambulance.
Heavy & Topheavy, AF.
Ex-mil = thrashed to death by large, angry brain-donors. On speed.
Despite the LWB, they made silly-short beds = knees-under-chin all night.
They say: 96,000km / I say: it’s ex-mil, that’s probably it’s fifth speedo…

I’d love a top spec Giulia. What a machine.

Same. Someone near me has one in their drive and I feel a pang of jealousy every time I walk past.
I think it’s the new M5 (from when it was good).

I learned to drive in a Land Rover when I was 13. It was shit.
It was on the farm owned by the Dad of 2 of my mates. They also had a 105E Ford Anglia which is 40 billion times better as a car and they used to fight over to get first.
I get the iconic shape.
That is it though, there is absolutely nothing else about them that is remotely good.
IME anyway.

Maybe get it out of your system with these.
TIL that Crayford; mainly known for doing convertible versions of various Fords, also took it upon themselves to shoehorn an Essex V6 into 12 Cortina Mk2s because reasons. Four cars still exist, only one of which is also a Lotus Cortina. And guess what? It’s for sale;
Yes, €60k is a lot but that’s a cool thing. Listing is HERE.

Wow
I’ve never sat in a defender and been comfy. A colleague used to commute from Bury to Dewsbury ‘over the tops’ in one and for the 2 or so days when the road was in feral killer snow mode there was nothing else that’d do the job (barring various Toyotas and small French and Italian cars powered by voodoo and balls)
Overall I never really ‘got’ them, a slightly fucked about with Jeep with reliability, rust, comfort and price issues.

Driving in snow is more about tyre than vehicle but one area where a high ground clearance helps even on-road.
