Automobiles have been popular since early days. A large variety of automobiles are now available on the market.

Here, I would like to discuss about sagacious and affordable luxury- Land Rovers.

If you are planning to buy a Land Rover but receive conflicting advices from friends, family and colleagues or the choice between different models is not allowing you to move ahead, then hold on. Here is an absolute must for you.


Point of early Land Rover lovers!

Let’s go back to the time when Land Rovers were offered with front wheel drive and were named after the wives of rich soccer players. When there were craggy creatures capable of taking you wherever you wanted. Land Rovers take us back to that time. It’s about early 1970’s when mileage was not at all an issue for people who had these old and vintage cars.

Myths and the whole story!

·         Land rovers are strong and everlasting- what faults do they have?

Mechanically,Land Rovers are more powerfulcompared to a standard car, but they are not indestructible. After all, it is just a vehicle, how can we assure this personally? Each and every vehicle requires regular maintenance and there are many Land Rover experts who aim to provide an honest sale and service to their customers. John Brown Land Rovers, who provide Land Rovers for sale UK provide a comprehensive repair, inspection and a thorough road test of their vehicles before handing over to the customer.

·         Only diesel Land Rovers are worthy…..in certain cases!

For an extensive off-road journey, a diesel Land Rover is highly recommended. Often people are enthusiastic about the 2.5 petrol engine when transformed to run on LPG since it provides the same power as 2.5 Turbo diesel engines and is smoother, quieter and reduces the bills by 15-20% as compared to diesel 110. For heavy duty applications, the 3.5 petrol V8 engine is the winner. Hence, I must say choosing among petrol and diesel engines, entirely depends on type of journey.

·         The newer the vehicle, the better the quality!

There have been assorted key improvements in the specifications of Land Rovers over the years, however, you should choose your Land Rover on conditions and specifications considering its age as the least important factor. If choosing a newer vehicle, certainly you will be paying more, but that does not mean that you will undeniably get a superior and durable vehicle.

I have read a lot of comments from people who are keen to own a Land Rover and sometimes prefer used Land Rovers. Reason being…..they have a limited budget, or they don’t want to tie up a huge amount of money in a vehicle. They also like the idea of saving road taxes and some people are just amused with the look of classic vehicles.

Check the chassis originality!

A chassis number is usually found on an aluminum plate, which gives the fundamental info of the vehicle. This is usually mounted on the bulkhead.

Older Land Rovers could have been rebuilt several times and ended with a diverse arrangement as compared to when they were new. This original check would be beneficial in identifying stolen Land Rovers. So, if the chassis number does not belong to the vehicle, you must not proceed with purchase.

So, what do you think?

I presume now you have an idea about what a suitable classic Land Rover should look like? Each and every Land Rover model is built with a different and unique idea. Variations may show a discrepancy in terms of few improvements of performance, fuel, drive and handling, engines and so on,but the basic factor about Land Rovers is that they are one of the most reliable vehicles. Think about it.Choose the best!
