njc110381 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Santana. The leaf sprung series copy but with weird headlights? They're supposed to be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I think that they are made under license in Spain by a company called Santana, although I may have the spelling wrong. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holland&Holland Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I like them, look at http://www.santanamotor.nl/ And for dutch standards there are not too expensive, and come with a better engine and seating then the landrover. But then again. can not beat an icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy W Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The interiors are supposed to be quite basic, the engines are supposed to be excellent and they are apparently good value for money. A SWB version is due in the UK this year. They have been featured quite a few times in 4 x 4 international magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? £12k for a 14 year old car with +100k on the clock. £12k goes a long way elsewhere - a nearly brand new L200 for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yeah those Merc 4x4's are a bit of a mystery - great cars don't get me wrong, but the prices!?!? How? ?12k for a 14 year old car with +100k on the clock. ?12k goes a long way elsewhere - a nearly brand new L200 for example. The Argentinian forces left a lot of these when they scuttled off the Falklands just over 25 years ago and guess what......... the local farmers got themselves a load of bargains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
