Yes we did buy the 2013 one you suggested, but had it replaced with a 2015 one after some long discussions. The 2013 vehicle was a demo and very well used as a demo... This vehicle put us off owning a Patrol to be honest, but the newer, one owner one, is slowly making up for it.

Thank you SJC, we plan to use it for lots of tours within Southern Africa, but will also care for the vehicle so that it lasts a long time.
