My shooting car is a 200tdi defender 110 stn wagon that i have had for i think 17 of its 26 years. 198k miles, on it, and i would happily drive it any place in the uk tomorrow by just putting fuel in it and going. Unlike so many cars it is not disposable.
For shooting it has 2 alternators, 2 very large batteries that are connected via a kill switch so i can disconnect the starter battery and run all manner of lights, NV kit and screens. It has a 5 inch screen on the radio with input for the thermal and roof mounted remote IR spotter. For comfort it has heated seats and a decent heater, the sun roof is a little tight to shoot out of, though it is possible.
Parts are super cheap and though it needs a splash of waxoil every year and some maintenance from time to time what 26 year old car does not, most are probably under sheets in garages not bouncing across hills and moors. Next project is to make a gun cabinet under a false floor, as to be fair it is not particularly secure
Proper 4x4, proper diff lock, proper winch, lots of ground clearance, chunky tyres, £150 a year fully comp insurance.
Tomorrow it is taking 6 pals, 4 dogs and an argo to the end of the road and a bit beyond, before the argo has to take over, to get us to the top of the mountain, to chase grouse on the glorious 12th.
I like to think i will never sell it!
