I'd never considered the Santana. Unlike you Matt, all my gear fits in a rucksack so that's why I was considering a SWB Landie. I've not been looking for as long as you but I'm in the really fortunate position of having a friend who's a Land Rover fanatic and he's been looking with me and he's saved me no amount of grief. We've seen a few cars that have looked brilliant but after a wee poke about they have all been duds. I seem to remember a recent episode of Top Gear where they were testing Russian cars and a 4WD something was in amongst them but I can't remember the manufacturer. Was it a Lada maybe?
