I don't understand.
They're horrendously expensive to run, massively over the top for the trip down the lanes of Banbury et al to the local Waitrose and they don't even have rear doors.
There must be a hundred other vehicles that can meet the needs to someone living outside the M25... hypothetical or otherwise.

Pages ago but I'll bite. It might cost you £50,000 a year, not most people but you do have a certain style with your cars! That particular one looks pretty good from the photo and I see Tilover is making a good job of his, they are very much more comfortable than a defender.
I wouldn't get a short wheelbase again if I had to choose, and I'd avoid the petrol engine versions as Tilover commented. The model and colour he has are probably the best, that in LWB would be close to my ideal. People do tend to spend way more on them than they should so a second hand one might be good value. Anything ULEZ compliant would be expensive though.
I moan about the effort I put into mine but I enjoyed every minute of it then haven't missed it at all. I wouldn't swap my van for one, modern engines/gearboxes, air conditioning, fuel economy etc. all win out.

This looks like a car (if I lived in rural parts) I would consider:

I'm guessing that this car will cost £50,000/year to keep on the road, based on your experience?
