Keep it, I think you will regret getting rid, unless of course you really need the cash.

With regards to the Ineos, I think you will need a huge amount more money to tie up when and if it eventually comes out, and will you do anymore with that than your current Defender?

It really depend on your own finance and the works you have planned. If you need the money you have to sell.


Mines been sat in garden for the past 3 months almost... I'm looking at it in the cabin I'm working from Smile I did think about sorning it and some others we own...but didn't. I think mine is £550 a year.


Its all about the fun you get from it. I have sooooo many pictures of my Landrover more than any other car I have owned and that includes fancy stuff / sports cars and the like.

I park it up and turn back, smile Thumbs Up

I'm lucky we have a few cars in our fleet and use them now and again, some fancy high tech stuff in some, and very quick others.... I still look forward to getting back in the Defender.

Not sure you can put a price on that? Certainly worth to me £550 a year to have it.... This is my 5th year with the Defender and I bet I have hardly lost anything compared to the German car I swapped it for (the tax on that was still £225)


So if it make you happy and you can afford to keep it......


However once that seed is planted its usually bad Big Cry

For a long time I fancied a soft top 90 for summer use, similar in style to the Island Rover one. A 300 tdi or even a V8 in nice condition like that would be very appealing. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS
