Hi Guys - I am based in Lanark, Scotland, and looking to acquire a Grenadier. I have driven various Land Rover, Jeep and Mercedes vehicles, as well as a petrol engined Grenadier, which I really liked. I look forward to benefitting from your collective experience, and am completely open to any comments any of you may have. There are many roads in our part of the world which go from tarmac to woodland track and even rougher, and places you can only access with a vehicle like this or a helicopter, and I don't like the idea of a helicopter. Petrol appeals more to me than diesel - I prefer the driving experience and the fuel consumption gap does not appear to be too wide. I am also planning some trips in the car to more remote regions, where I wonder if petrol will be more readily available. The Utility models seem cost effective but I am told they are Class N1 Commercial Light Vehicles - the vehicle will get private and business use. Is it easy to get insurance? What is the difference between these and Fieldmaster and Trialmaster models? What are the most useful options? These are some of the questions I am wondering about. I look forward to chatting with you in the future, and if I can answer any questions about our part of the world, I will be happy to do so.

Fuel - petrol and diesel are both available in most places, even remote Africa..
N1 - technically a van, the rear seats are mounted further forwards, but can be moved back. 60mph limit on non-motorway dual carriageways and cheaper car tax. Insurance may be cheaper.
Fieldmaster/trialmaster/utility specs - actually not very different. The Field and Trail masters get some equipment standard, but you can play with the configurator to put on what options you want.

Just remember that there isn't really anywhere you can legally drive off road in Scotland without the land owners permission..That includes forestry roads even if the gate is open. Over the border into England there is a network of greenlanes that you can to legally drive.
