When there’s work to be done, the
contractors go to rock-solid models like
the L200. The secret to buying used,
then, is to avoid anything that’s been
thrashed on a building site, so ideally
from a VAT-registered soft business
that wanted something different for
the school run. These are Defenders for
people who don’t want to break down.

It has a box canopy on the back, is finished in utility white and there are those fluorescent stripes on the
tailgate that may not be strictly legal. Yes, this Hilux has been to work with its previous single owner,
although God knows how many drivers it has had. Never mind, this is an utterly indestructible ’Lux. Also,
people won’t mess with you if you get out of one of these in workwear.

The thing about a Mini is that
while they may be everywhere,
they really are jolly good fun to
d r i ve. J u st a s h a i r d r e s s e r y a s th e M X-
5, yes, but in the right colour and with
170bhp, you’ll have a ball. Also, unlike
some drop-top options, sorting them
out when they go wrong isn’t likely to
cost more than the purchase price.
Very affordable – and a potential
future classic in Cooper S trim.
