Regarding the recent article about running older and much simpler vehicles that are perfectly adequate for everyday use, one glaring omission in the list is the Series 2 or 3 LandRover. Mine is 40 this year, starts first time every time and passes its MoT with ease. OK, fuel consumption is not brilliant and I wouldn’t want to do high miles on a motorway with it (although I can keep up with the trucks in the N/S lane). It seats seven, no RFL to pay, insurance very low, no expensive particulate filter or catalyst to replace, no complex computers which are vulnerable to radio frequency interference. The most unreliable car I have ever owned in over 50 years: the M-B A Class was badly affected by RFI. And unlike modern cars my Series 2A is appreciating in value. I reckon that as it has saved the energy needed for at least 6 cars from being made to replace it, pretty ‘green’ too. My only concern, along with other ‘Practical Classic’ owners, is the potential for damage to fuel-line and engine by the addition of ethanol in fuel. 5% now and rising to 10% soon.
