Buy or hire the Defender 90 if...
The smallest and most compact Defender body, aimed at buyers wanting real off-road capability without the length of the 110 or 130. It is used commercially as a rugged utility vehicle as much as a leisure 4x4.

Buy or hire the S-Class Saloon Long if...
Mercedes' flagship saloon in long-wheelbase form, the standard car for UK chauffeur firms rather than self-drive hire. The extended wheelbase adds rear legroom rather than luggage space, which stays much the same as the standard car.
