Hi, thats funny and good points. I actually have two friends from the States who have old 70's and 80's wranglers there. They always seem to have issues, especially the fuel pump, and the body is not great for salt air. I swear they change the fuel pump every year or two. Lots of rotten rusty spots and constant maintenance needed. I on the other hand had a Series 3 Lightweight Landrover and never had issues for many years (let alone rust). Now I drive a 1950 Series 1 Landrover, but I need something contemporary for clients (I run a real estate biz), and moving around the island quickly and comfortably. I will use the Series if I am going to the beach with family, on Sundays, or off the beaten track. Funny for you to mention those jeeps as I know them very well! The i3 striked me due to the fact it is different and electric and I can power it myself through my PV system. It also looks quite nice and I believe there are not many things body parts which could deteriorate due to salt air.
