2: new defender 110 (can I put up with it as a DD)
3: another sedan Sub, Calais, SS, plus get another early RR, Disco, county defender.

want to do a bit of touring when get the chance the RR is not set up for this.

Hows about a sedan of choice for road use, and a P38 you can set up for touring. That's what I'm doing with my P38. P38s are pretty cheap now.

You can come and have look at mine if you like. I'm in Highton.

Are you looking only at new cars so that you can get a new car warranty to cover your first few years? Mitsubishi (if you like them) have a pretty good warranty deal thing, and something like a Ralliart Lancer will be in a similar performace bracket to your Liberty.

edit- just saw your sig, you probably aren't too keen on a turboed japmobile then

This will feel glacial compared to your Subie (not that I exactly know what a 3R is....). It is also a big hunk of metal and not all that easy to get into normal city parks. If you work out in the country this will not be an issue, but I have to drive past a lot of possible parks simply because it is so long.

Other than that - it is pretty close to being a perfect car!!

A new 110 will last 25-30 years, so might be the last new car you buy if you are anywhere near my age
