LEZ is for utilities only - if your LR is a car you are fine  i.e. lots of seats!

Going for a 90 having had a run out in both 110 & 90. Unlikely to need to carry more than 2 people and the rear space is plenty. Plus I have a trailer for anything bigger.
Now down to a very late 300tdi or early Td5

True Ribnet fashion - ask for opinions from Landy owning boaty types and ignore 90% of the replies saying "...don't buy a 90 - GET A 110!!"

Relax you must, young Max
90 = X-Wing
110 = Millennium Falcon
When larger ordnance to deliver, our pilot friend has, sorry he will be

One can ask for opinion/advice and then make ones own mind up. The 90% dont make the 10% wrong. Surely its down to personnal choice and taste.
If wrong one is, later to repent .....

Couldn't agree more.
But you're still making a mistake!

For that sort of money I would go for a TD5 110 (we had one):
- more comfortable to drive (especially on motorways)
- more comfortable when towing
Noisy, unrefined, agricultural and one of the few cars to put a smile on my face every time I drove it - just do it !

Had the Landie for a couple of weeks now and still love it.
More than enough room for everything that I want to do and has a very big roof rack too. I am working on the trailer now to bring it up to a respectable condition, otherwise I may buy a Sanky MOD one.
PS Not my number plates

Looks very nice indeed. I reckon a sankey trailer is the way to go. I'm looking for one for a project over winter, intent to respray it and style it like my defender 90. Let me know if you find any good stockists.

Yeah, OK, that's pretty sweet 
But you'll never fit six Suffolks and a hundredweight of lamb nuts in there...

Have 2 of the darlings - 90 ragtop TD5 and 110 TD5 XS. Latter is everyday transport in London (no CC as it is technically a bus with 9 seats - current model with only 2 rear seats is a poor substitute).
Also use 110 for towing the RIB - much better than the 90 - also has more space. 90 more fun off-road.
Strongly recommend JE Engineering's power and gearbox upgrades - makes all the difference on a long haul.
