Which interesting 7-seater

I'm toying with the idea of getting a 7-seater for when we've got more friends and family round that can fit in one car.
I want something a bit interesting, though, so I'm thinking:
S-Max 2.5T - Fun because of silly engine.
C5 Allroad 4.2
Any other ideas around 4k-ish? Or opinions on the above? I just want a car that's also fun to drive, or a bit special, when I don't need to seat 7.

Excellent suggestion.
Would make good company for my RR Classic.

I had a couple of defender 90s a while ago and I'd have to say they are so much fun doing 5-10 mph going through green lanes.

A 110 defender would be great.

Too expensive for me, though.

I've heard they are going up in price now cause they've stopped being built.
Hows about sell one of your fleet to fund it

You can get a 90 with 7 seats. Lovely and cosy. Lol

True, my brother had one, was snug in the front. Loved that 90, but too slow. Bang an LS3 in the front and they get interesting. Think a couple of guys in the C7 section have them.

Noice. I like the Defender but I wouldn't want to own one. Disco is a better fit for me.
What about a Volvo XC90 2.9T? Fugly but I bet it goes quite well.
I like the gas-guzzlers because no-one wants 'em. Nice thing about owning an RS6 is that everything else seems economical to run by comparison.

Volvo should be well built too. I don't think they're that bad looking either.

don't get me wrong Shopp you'll defo get more for your money with a Disco. Don't forget you can get one with a Dirty big V8. I had a 3.9 efi RR classic back in the day.. love the Rover V8's

Yeah, my RRC is a V8 flapper. It's as quick as an iceberg with similar handling but I still love it.
