But I think I know you a little bit, and what you desire is a SWB RHD Diesel Defender/90. So that's really what you should be getting. Retirement is about realizing the dreams you've put off for a lifetime of sacrifice and compromise. At least that's my take.
Is diesel more available on the island than gasoline?

Eric:
I started off wanting a D90, but that episode of 'Wheeler Dealers' made me think I should consider a Gelandewagen. But even though the MB is smoother & quieter, I agree that the LR is what I really want.
My plan is to buy one that's 23 years old & stash it in the UK until it turns 25, then ship it over. That's another thing- if I got a MB, my Dad could run it for a couple of years, but I doubt he's want to drive the LR!
No problem getting diesel, I thought the low down torque might be better for steep, twisty stuff?
Thanks,
Paul.
