What's wrong with lads's? I'd love a riva one day, the same sort of basic function and harsh ride as an SJ, except you could fit more stuff in!
niva's were actually quite advanced when new as most 4x4s were still running leafs and the ride isnt too bad from what i remember

You can still buy brand new nivas from a chap in London, they're around 10,000, but I suppose compared to a 22,000 for a new defender they are reasonable. Id like the riva ( instead of a niva) like a poor man's Volvo, really blocky and basic!
