clio or defender 110

[christian rea]

ive had a rare oppurtunity to get a v reg defender110 mfor a very good price .im into offroading and allready have a well modded suzuki sj but if i am to go for a landy it would mean selling the clio .
i brought the clio to get away from slow things eg my jeep (about as fast as a donkey)lol so its a hard choice but then i would also sell thye jeep witch ive owned for over 3 years and it was my first car so is very precious to me what would you lot go with ?

Get the defender mate, awesome cars.

ive got a series 3 landy and the 182...

id go for the 110..

 

[Fletcher]

I'd keep the clio.

 

[AlexS]

Keep the SJ, you've got the best of both worlds. I couldn't use a 4x4 everyday. Im getting a Landy Series 3 at Easter!

i use my series 3 every day at the moment...love the thing...dirt cheap off of ebay...

 

[AlexS]

I won't use it every day, well maybe during the summer! Is yours the
2 1/4 petrol? About 15mpg aren't they?

[AlexS]

[SimonV6]

keep the suzuki for off road and upgrade your road car to a 172/182

i took my last one (1975, 109)...but this one hasnt been yet...they guy that owned it before has had it lifted, with some MT tytres on it MASSIVE....its a pick up 109...

guy had done a LOT of work to it...unfortunately was desperate to sell, so i swiped it up at a good price...

 

[AlexS]

You can pick them up quick cheap now, im after an 88" with the canvas back, preferably tax excempt! Im hoping to find one thats had the work done already, like yours.

110... TOO Cool.. but are so costly on fuel

If your into offroading get a 90, even better a truck cab. Much better visibility

if your into off roading, get rid of the sj, hardly owts a challenge for their light weight, according to my mate whos done a lot in his landys. he also has a jacked sj, but says its no fun cos he never gets stuck in it like he does in his landys, same tracks/trials. lol.

 

[Ian_182]

Keep the suzuki,you already use that and then get a 182 to play with

 

[Brown Dog]

Mmmmm. Difficult one that.
Had my Defender 90 over 3 years now as my only car and hopefully going to get a 182 very soon.
(been hanging around here far too long without one)


Do your best to get both
You NEED both!

thats my problem and my sj is to small for work now so the 110 would be ideal with alift and cage etc

 

[xcore]

landy, clios are s**t

 

[Brown Dog]

That'll be good. My brother has just bought himself a Suzuki.
I'm in Gloucester.
