The Nissan Patrol has never managed to embed itself into the British perception quite as its makers had hoped. It lacks the leviathan image of Toyota's Landcruiser or the class of a Land Rover product. Too rugged to attract to the fashionable crowd, it has fallen between a number of stools. Still, it has been a mainstay of the Nissan range for nearly half a century and has sold in steady, if unspectacular, volumes. Appealing to the likes of farmers and serious off road enthusiasts, the Patrol sells itself on its virtual indestructibility.
A well-inspected Nissan Patrol will make a rugged and faithful companion. If armour plating a Labrador seems extreme, then a Patrol may well be the next best thing. It has a no-nonsense image and can be used for all the family oriented uses whilst having the ability to tackle muddy fields and minor Alps. Take time, and opt for the newest possible model, as many will find the earliest car maybe a touch too spartan. If the purposeful image and undoubted capabilities appeal, you could do a lot worse than the Nissan Patrol. With the latest range finding its feet on the used market, now is as good a time as any to buy.
