Ireland 
Then and now
Here is a photograph of our daughter's first car (the purple one) and her current car (the 90 300 tdi). I can still remember the excitement when she got the purple car. She used it daily and it was very easily run and was easy to maintain. The 90 300 tdi is her daily car now and as she has a horsebox it is a much better tow vehicle than the purple car. It is also fairly straight forward to maintain. Like the New Defender, the purple car does not have a ladder frame chassis, live beam axles or coil springs. Unlike the purple car I don't think the New Defender comes in a cabriolet or soft top version. She has had the 90 300 tdi for almost three years and loves it.

A lovely tale Thumbs Up

Let’s hope the latest vehicle lasts as well as the previous.

The former has certainly got some advantages…

Spud fan,
I don’t know why you posted this in off topic.
I think we could have a thread on daughters Landrovers.
My daughters first car is a 1985 2.5na 90.
We just got back from touring Ireland together.
