The 88 inch Series III makes a brilliant first Land Rover for young drivers you learn basic mechanics quickly, they’re fun to drive both on and off road, and parts are cheap. If you have a family, they aren’t ideal although different seats, soundproofing, overdrives and engine transplants make a difference.
The Disco is a bargain and it’s easy to find ones even cheaper than our two grand examples. It’s hugely practical, family friendly and, underneath the skin, essentially the same as a Defender or Range Rover so it’s also cheap and easy to fix. But it doesn’t age as well dents, dings and faded paint can be shrugged off the Series III, but it makes a Discovery look a bit of a shed.
However, unless you love welding, this s not a Land Rover for life. The Series III will continue for years with the odd anti rust waxing and a service here and there. An old leafer is the safest best you can get with Land Rovers.
