Thread: Series 2 or 3: Questions about purchasing

I'm unfamiliar with older Land Rovers and am looking to pick up one for beach/weekend fun and possibly to tow a smaller boat if necessary.

Anyone on here have experience with a Series 2 or Series 3 Land Rover? I really like the look, they can be had for cheap, and it would be a fun project.

Thoughts and feedback appreciated.

I recently picked up an 03 Td5 for the exact same reason.
Great daily driver with no real mods as yet (tinted glass & Coopers tires) tows great and looks good (if you are into that look).

Not a bad price considering the electrics, turbo diesel, dvd player etc.

Hopefully none of the famous gremlins yet!!

Good luck

No problem! You'll love the Series - I just picked up a Defender 90.

Picked her up today

so you went with the series 3? the series 2a has a much stronger gearbox, but it lacks sincro in first gear.
