What classic 4x4 up to £10,000?

[Mont]

I’ve taken a half notion for something 4x4 Something classic or oddball to keep a few years, tinker about with and give it an easy life.

If you’d £10,000 to spend on one what would you get?

Im thinking something like a Defender, 90s Range Rover or Japanese from same era but open to all suggestions.

I’ve a feeling most nice ones are probably over budget now though and anything left would be rusty money pits.

 

[gpaevo]

Defender for that money would be scrap.

Better looking in the Jap direction.

I saw a very clean Pajero Evo for 12k last week. Was very tempted but it's a little small for what I need.

 

[Nicky]

80 Series Land Cruiser.

Nothing else compares as far as reliability, towing capabilities, off roading ability with their 3 diff locks etc goes...

Wouldn’t have a 90’s Land Rover unless you’re willing to keep on top of a lot of welding repairs and fond of loading up the parts cannon to keep it alive.

 

[Bryan]

If I had the money I would be buying one of these Land Cruisers.

 

[Mont]

Land Cruisers would definitely be top of my list to be honest, but thought I’d have long missed the boat on them.

My dad has had Shoguns since the mid 80s so I’ve a soft spot for the early ones too although I’d have thought the Evos would be out of budget as well.

I'd opt for a Patrol.

It was a opinion extra to have the rb30 engine fitted, from new ,verified on log book. These were made between 1992 to 1994. Engine alone is worth what am asking. This is a must buy for the collection ��.

Or a 4.0 XJ Cherokee. I've had a load of these over the years and they always impressed.

Cherokee’s are tiny though. Even compared to a Surf, which is far from a big 4x4, the Cherokee’s have absolute no room in them.

Aye they're not huge which is not a disadvantage either. Very high towing capacity for all their size too.

Gen 1 Lexus RX300?

I bought one years back and my mum is still using away at it.

Fairly low drama, nice old bus to sit in and they have avoided the scene tax (unlike Landcruisers).

 

[Boksic]

Oul fourtraks are flying up in money if you are interested in them at all

Are you planning to off road in it or waft? 10K would easily get you into a 1st or 2nd gen Touareg and they are capable of both in spades.

 

[glynnnova]

A p38 Range Rover is a solid choice and prices are on the rise. Good ones are hard to find though.

 

[joel44w]

you'll need another 10k to keep a p38 on the road!

Id go for one of these myself, quite rare and defintley will go up in value... 3 door discovery

this is a nice v8 one comming into your budget, can get tdi ones for nearly half that amount, although not many up for sale!

Class, my cousins had a SWB 3.0 Patrol on their farm in 1985ish when myself and my brother spent two weeks re-shelling a Marina Coupe in one of their sheds away from the home place. We stayed in a tent and worked from dawn till dusk every day and were completely frigged after a week or so and couldn't be woken one morning so they reversed the patrol so the tailpipe was pointing in the tent door. Woken up with PTSD, how we laughed.

You might be right, mines currently in need of an engine

 

[suckindiesel]

All these things have gone nuts. Cherokee's at over 10k and scrap 60 series the same. I have a lovely one owner 2000 3.5 V6 SWB Trooper with 36k at the moment, just getting tidied.

Sold an amazing 1997 Patrol 4.2 Petrol last year with 33k for 12 grand. So much better value that equivalent Land Rover, but not half as easy to get parts for. Regret not keeping it now but can't keep them all!

 

[redxl77]

Needs to be a canvas defender imo. Or else you're just wafting around in a giant stinky rusty box.

 

[lightning]

@suckindiesel ‘s 24 valve trooper is unreal. I just started it and laughed. They don’t make stuff like that now.

 

[Ghisallo]

this is the correct answer
