Hi we are Pamala & Nigel
We spend most of our time in central Portugal, we have bought a Terrano 1 as it seems to be very practical to use here.
A lot of older cars are used in Portugal, partly as newer cars are more expensive than UK (import duty is applied---- although illegal under EU law!!!!!) Also the older cars are easier to repair/ mantain--------- because of the climate, no salt is used on the roads and it is generally extremely dry, so the dreaded rust does not attack most cars!!!!
