The Minor will be quicker, quieter and have better mpg...
So buy the Land Rover instead of swapping ;-)

Landies
Series Landies are great fun, very reliable and a very handy little truck.
Ok, they are a bit heavy on the fuel but they are cheap to insure, easy to repair yourself and parts are cheap and easy to find.
I wouldn't be without one!

I've got two, a 1962 ex-RAF SWB diesel and a 1964 LWB Marshall Ambulance which is a petrol.
I've never got two pennies to rub together but can afford to run the Ambulance every day... My driving style must just suit it.
I wouldn't be without them now as they've taken the strain off the Traveller.
They do break occasionally but at least they're easy to fix, kinda like the moggy.
They're great fun! Go-on... you know you want to...

I've just sold my 109 - couldn't face driving it anymore as it was impossible to park in town. I can get a tow vehicle from work, and don't have time for offroading so it was pointless keeping it.I wouldn't be without one!
If I ever get one again it'll be an 88"
my previous 88" series 3 was a 2.25 diesel and only just managed 30mpg on long journeys and that had 3.5 diffs. It ran happily on 50% veg oil though. With standard gearing I'd expect 15 - 20 on mixed driving.

My 2.25 petrol 88" returned something like that. It really wasn't practical for the daily commute down the motorway to work, unlike my Minor.rayofleamington wrote:my previous 88" series 3 was a 2.25 diesel and only just managed 30mpg on long journeys and that had 3.5 diffs.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.
