Know in advance:
- Take in consideration that the land rover is a vintage car, built for the mountains but not for comfort- some parts of the ride can be uncomfortable. Some of the seats of the jipe are not faced forward, and for taller travellers you might have the feeling that you are cramped. Being a vintage car the seatbelts are different from modern cars, some seats just have the waist belt.
