I can't see why you would need a full sized RR unless you need to carry lots of stuff in the back.

I think an early one is a good choice.

With insurance its best to get a quote yourself. You may even find they won't cover you, so worth getting an idea now.

Hi Russben
Thanks for the info, very useful cheers

I admit to being confused in regards to your comments, "full sized RR"? Does this reference wheel base or something? if the RRS HSE is a "full sized RR" then it's not about need, it's about want! There will be occasions when I need a big carrying space although not often admittedly. In regards to insurance, why could It be a problem to get cover? are you thinking about the parking on the street away from my home?

Steve

The problem with insurance is that RRS is a very very desirable car and is among the most stolen............ some insurers refuse to cover them, some charge exorbitant premiums and many insist on their approved tracker system being fitted. If you choose Direct Line be warned that only one brand of tracker is approved by them............ of course it is the one from the company that they own! Living anywhere near London will immediately hike your premium but even rural areas of Scotland where I live have recently had premium hiked to pay for all the cars stolen in the SE of England.... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

They are bigger in every way.

And if you are considering 2005 cars, they look a bit more dated inside than the RRS



There is also a discovery 3, which shares many parts with the RRS, but the interior isn't as nice, but if you WANT/NEED a longer car maybe worth a look.

Many thanks Andy
