Land-Rover, or one built in the years from 1948 until
approximately 1974. At the outset it is best to understand
one apparent contradiction: a good-running Land-Rover is a
wonderfully simple machine, but one in poor condition is
diabolically complex. Why? Because when things go wrong
they can be challenging, time consuming (and costly) to
repair.
Therefore, be advised and observe the following:
Basic Rule Number One:
The older the vehicle, the higher the miles, or the poorer the condition, the more costly will the Land-Rover be to rehabilitate. For this reason it is imperative to have the Land-Rover inspected by a seasoned, savvy Land-Rover expert.
Basic Rule Number Two:
Whatever seems a simple, quick repair never is!
Basic Rule Number Three:

Basic Rule Number Seven:
Do not ever think of a vintage Land-Rover from the standpoint of an investment, because, if you do, basic rule number seven will apply: Think of your Land-Rover as an investment and youll be FOREVER miserable!!! Consider yourself forewarned!!!!!!!!!
Basic Rule Number Eight (for men only):
If your significant other is not 109% on your side in this venture, she will make your life FOREVER MISERABLE!!! She MUST be on your side WITHOUT RESERVATION, or you must NOT buy the vehicle under ANY circumstances!!!! Greater men than you have been brought to their knees at the hands of a perverse woman!!!! Hell hath no fury like a woman whose wardrobe money just got spent on ANOTHER Land-Rover repair!
