This Sport is no pampered driveway status symbol

Mad For Mud

I bought my Sport in March 2010 from a Land Rover dealership in Oxford – I was looking for something comfortable to drive on-road that was also great off-road. It was totally standard and I have been constantly upgrading it since.

My wife Lisa and I drove the superb Strata Florida network of greenlanes in Wales. We’ve also been given access to private estates in the Scottish Highlands and have enjoyed trips away to Thetford Forest and Salisbury Plain. This is one Sport that does get used in mud – trust me!
