OK, now I understand. I had assumed, wrongly, that you were talking about the sociological aspects of the purchase of a Rover.
Back when we lived in Kenya you could purchase a used Range Rover for a relatively low price. Maintenance was part of the equation. The other was the thirsty V-8 gas engine rather than diesel. Of course, owning a 4 door Land Cruiser is the quickest way to get car-jacked in Nairobi.
I’ve owned the “feel good” Alfas, MGs and even a Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. Now I’ll stick with the Japanese “drive it forever” vehicles, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru & Honda.
I got 3 cars to do 1 cars job. 5Kmile C6 Z06 Vette, 1970 Opel GT street rod and a Pontiac Vibe GT with 220K. Between the 3 I have a classic car that goes like hell and gets 32 mpg and barely depreciates.
