I falled in love - Armored Defender
Hello,
I am new to the off road cars area. I never had one, and now I decided it's the moment. From all available/affordable brands I decided that my offroad car will definetively be a Land Rover. Browsing through available Landies on internet one month ago I have found one which just does not let me sleep during night. V8, 3.5 petrol , 1986 Armored, 140.000Km . As I asked the opinion of many friends, all asked me the same question: Why do you need AK47 protection, and 8 shoot through holes ? Well, I don't need them , that's true, but the car just looks awesome.
Now, I am going to buy it in less than one month. I would like to ask here about common problems that may exist on this particular type of engine. I would also like to know if I may expect regular off road capabilities ( climbing, swamping ) regarding the fact that the car may be heavier due to the armor.What fuel consumption should I expect with an average speed on highway on 100-110Km/h ?
Thank you ,

I have a regular car already, '97 2.8 liter bmw happily driving it day by day . It has 322.000 Km by now and i am still able to get 0-100 in 9 seconds . I am 30 yo, not lots of money but the job I have is quite well payed especially if you take extra work. And I do not live in a war conflict zone .Can I afford to buy it now ? Yes. And I can keep it just for weekend drive. But my plan is to buy and prepare a vehicle for ( sounds stupid, I know ) a doom's day scenario. I always dreamed to have a car that I can tune with some monitors, a decent computer and my ham radio gear. I also prepared a mobile repeater for this purpose. It is my passion,let's say. And I find this car perfect for this purpose.
