Highlights
- Extensive recent mechanical expenditure
- Station wagon body with seating for nine
- Extremely capable off road
The Appeal
Produced under licence in Spain, this 109-inch Santana was built in 1975 and sports very practical station wagon bodywork. It has seating for nine people or can carry a huge amount of stuff. This, coupled with the Land Rover’s legendary off road capability, makes it the ultimate practical vehicle.
The owner has spent a considerable amount of money on mechanical servicing in the past year, so it is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner, for bumbling about tracks and fields as it was designed to do.
There are a few dents and scratches, as befits a properly used Land Rover, so you won’t be scared to take it off road, wherever you need to go.
