Did anyone spot the blue Range Rover pop top on the way back from Cromer, heading toward Kings Lynn, at the weekend, about 10 miles from the site in a garage forecourt with a load of other old Range Rovers, was going to stop but was in a long line of traffic, :roll:

If you have to choose one of these three, think about spares... I think Mercedes is Mercedes... but yeah a bit expensive... petrol, low mpg...

wouldnt have been able to do the stuff in it that the syncro has though!!!! 35k km. in 1 year.. serious pain in a 404 :lol:

I agree with CJ having owned a couple of RB44's, here's the last one I had...

I also had a Bedford MK with an Atlas crane- gotta be the ultimate expedition camper and you can use the crane to lift the living box on and off.

I really love Syncro's now though, much easier to park at Tesco :wink:

If I didnt have the syncro I would probably go for something a little larger. How about this beauty.

Enough space for a couple of caravans on the back of that 8 wheeler.

Good Eastern Block musak.
