This always puzzles me. You buy a 500 bhp 6.3 litre monster of a car then fit such quality ditchfinders

Sadly it’s fallen into the realm where the folk who buy them can’t actually afford to run them properly. That looks like an extremely brave purchase to me...

I had the 3l Mercedes diesel and that was the best tow car I ever owned although my use mostly included maximum weight 3.5 tonnes where there is little choice. Off road was acceptable but highway cruising was sublime especially in the huge armchairs. I wanted the petrol with gas conversion but they are very rare.

I think we’ve settled on “none of the above” and are looking for a Disco 4.

If it is not too late, take a look at the Mercedes CLS shooting brake.  It is weirdly cheaper than an E class despite being more expensive when new.  I have one and think it is great.  Very very comfortable.  Only complaint is the boot is smaller than you would expect.

I’ve got a Labrador and I’m not sure he’d appreciate the CLS roofline!

 

Dont need to decide until end of December when the company car goes back anyway.

My word, that's brave. I had a lease one from new and it still came with electrical/electronic gremlins. It was a fantastic car though, and I absolutely loved it. Just wouldn't want to be the owner...

I had the 5.7 in my Camaro, lovely engine. Only problem I had with that car was the LSD. Can’t better the sound of a small block Chevy.

 

... just add petrol... just add petrol... just add petrol.
