Purely as an investment the Defender is definitely on the iconic cars list like the VW Campervan and Beetle. My neighbour has just bought an R reg Defender in superb condition and there are a few old Defenders appearing in my Dorset village outside second homes and they are all in tip top condition. By comparison I rarely see a new LR Defender anywhere.

Well one is an appreciating asset

the kids will then sell it.

Keep the auto, save your knee & hip unless you are getting younger.

I don't want to part with it. Have owned it for 6 years and it has been a joy to drive, and very reliable.It doesn't get enough use now and I want It to go to somebody who will use it as it's meant to be used. Just got back from Mull where it was the ideal vehicle. Unfortunately the long drive getting there and back takes it's toll on me these days! I just don't need two Land Rovers now. Fortunately the Freelander is also enjoyable , so capable and versatile. A much underrated vehicle.

Good luck with the sale sounds like a cracking example. Don't think I'd want to part with it.
