Mate had one years ago and loved it,a bit like that stunner pictured above.
I'd never seen it before I came to Scotland but they do rust on the front wings where the inner arch guards rub against it from the inside,usually right in the middle of the arc but bad ones up here go right around the full wing;must be the harsh weather and salty roads combination as I honestly never saw one once down south of the border even really rough ones.
He did say it was heavy on fuel I'm assuming due to permanent 4x4 but that's life.
I love them myself,I'd say their pretty much the perfect all rounder.
