I know some 25-30 year old cars in better condition than this.
As said if I do stick with 4x4 it will Jap.

I think you’ve answered your own question then. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Yes.

The Jap will probably quickly go the same crumbling way of course, West coast of Scotland, all that lovely bracing prevailing Westerly salty air, wake up and smell the brine, (and watch out for all that nasty corrosive grit in Winter! ), -or maybe move to sunny Bedford  V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

Any I've saw so far are no where near the bloody mess of a rr at the same age or younger. It's a shame as they are generally good cars but between tata cheap metal and crap electrics it's no good.

The Jap stuff rots underneath where you can't see it.

At least the RR's give you an idea what they're like underneath from what you can see on the top  2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather
2012 Range Rover 5.0 SC Autobiography in Indus Silver with Jet/Ivory Interior
2012 Range Rover 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography in Baltic Blue with Sand Interior
2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Black Edition in Santorini Black with Ebony Interior

I know i have had them but still not as bad as rr.

Jap isn’t a RR though and never ever will be 😊 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Not bothered.

Think you have your answer then, if you are happier with that choice.

Had my 2011 nearly 10 years but at some point it’s gonna need bodywork no matter what we try and do.

One of the reasons the later aluminium models is appealing.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
