I'm currently holed up in Puerto Natales in southern Chilean Patagonia, and have recently hatched a plan to purchase an older land rover and drive it home(Oregon, or as far as I get before I give up on keeping it going). Any input on this plan would be welcomed as I currently have no landie specific knowledge(normally work with E30 BMW's). My specific questions are:
Suggestions for models I should look for and models I should try to avoid, and specific things to check out on various models when inspecting? Right now I'm thinking Series III station wagon (not the big 5 door ones but the little SWB ones)
If anybody happens to know of areas in South or Central America farther north(Ecuador, Columbia, Costa Rica, etc.) where there is a surplus of 70's rovers as there is here in Patagonia? The reason behind this question is that I figure my odds of making it home with the rover go up the closer I get to the states before buying it.
Any input welcomed, Thanks!
