Probably a long wheelbase, petrol, Series Two Landrover.
The problem was not the extravagance of such a big car, and I like LandRovers anyway, (the real ones, not the "Landrover"-badged saloon cars now made) but my not spotting its chassis was severely corroded.
That had happened because its previous owner had used it not only to tow a boat-trailer, but also to launch the boat into the sea. He told me that much!
My failure to realise the implication of that, was as stupid as his own misuse of the vehicle.
