Our Cars (dream or actual)

i was looking at the rs3 a couple years ago. i liked it but i didn't fancy a hatch..

^this, i can agree on. the B8 RS4 was something else. i really liked the B8 and 7 design. shame it was discontinued. the naturally aspirated v8 was a music to my ears.
on other news, the new F90 M5 was launched today. that red is god damn gorgeous. enough room for the groceries, kids and a track day. what more can you ask for.

Ok, so this is the second time Ive asked, and dont think this answer will be much different than the first, but here it goes.
Ok, so I have this vision for my life, and it includes a 1930s cottage by the water and an old 4x4 in the driveway. Well, an old 4x4 and an early 80s 911, but my likelihood of the 4x4 occurring first is pretty good lol.
While the obvious answer is a J80 or J100 Land Cruiser/LX, I am enthralled by the idea of finding an Old Range Rover and giving it the life it deserves, not being repo'd 1,000 times at Buy Here Pay Here lots haha.
Anyone have an older Range Rover (not Defender, Not Disco, Not RR Sport) that has managed to keep it on the road for this long?
I'm sure there are plenty of English guys who have managed to keep them driving to this day, but I am thinking a Pre-BMW era RR (2nd gen) with the possibility of maybe venturing into 3rd Gen with the basic E39 BMW electronics as opposed to the supped up Jag system from 2005+.
Anyways, while I know 100 people will attempt to talk me out of this terrible money pit of an idea, it will only take one success story to convince me to follow my path lol

@Appfaff Don't overlook old American 4x4's. International Scouts 800's can be had for reasonable prices and they're built like tanks (well, tanks with intermittent rust issues :-[). Broncos are always a great choice although they've shot up in value over the last decade. C10 Blazers are also amazing but getting harder and harder to find ones that haven't been modified to hell and back. Just my 2 cents…

Solid suggestion on the Bronco Clint!

That's a great restoration job for sure! Might have to scour the net to see what's out there… my RR search has not been too successful lol
