93-95 LWB range rover or 94-95ish disco I would be good for the I look like I have enough money that you would want to buy a house from me look.

Pick one up for 6-8ish, but keep in mind that they are "maintaince pigs" and parts and not cheap or easy to get (ie no napa) 12mpg on 93 octane

www.discountrovers.com

buy from Nathan. He has everything but not much is listed.

www.thatchedroofgarage.com for series parts and some other goodies.

Maintaince and repair can make owning one a full time job. Just so you know what you are getting into.

Ya the 110 is coming pretty good now. You dad must have had a 109. Only series trucks had kodiaks. 110s are coil sprung.

My 110 is a bit of both and yes it does have a kodiak as does my 88, well the 88s kodiak is not hooked up but it has one. I also have a couple other Kodiaks floating around. Neat heaters.
