Sell the house in the background and keep them both.


Seriously, it's a hard call....

Tough decision but keep the one that serves you while costing you the least to maintain?

Well one is an appreciating asset, well more likely so than the other, so sell the Freelander 2. Sacrilege on this site I know, but still a Land Rover.

No brainer. Keep the Defender.
Not the most practical day to day driver out of the two, or the most frugal, comfortable, quiet etc but it's appreciating in price as the Freelander is depreciating.
Sell the Freelander. Then, in a few years time, sell the Defender for stupid money and pick up a "bargain" Freelander. That way, it's a win, win.

Yes . The practicality of the Freelander wins out. It is such a brilliant all rounder.
It is good enough off road for most of the places I go and will wade through floods as deep as the Defender will
It's great for long journeys , quiet comfortable and can carry more luggage

Thanks for the thoughts - and please get in touch if you know anybody who wants a good quality Defender. FL2 SD4 XS 2013 Orkney Grey

Would love the Defender but sadly it’s not ULEZ compliant and I’ll be having to sell my own Freelander with the zone being extended next year

How much have you advertised the Defender for and how many miles has it done?

Good luck with the sale sounds like a cracking example. Don't think I'd want to part with it. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
