I would go for a Misubishi Delica. you get the 4x4 of the shogun 2.8tdi with the 7 seat mpv, the second 2 seats swivel to make a nice "picnic" table, if you get the lwb then there is good luggage space without moving the rear row of seats. not the best for mpg and some say they look strange, but they are great machines, all the toys you could want, you can get them with the crytaline roof, so lots of skylights with electric curtains. With good tyres on you will be able to go anywhere the 110 went too so still the muddy fun of the 110.
If you have been driving a 110 as a normal drive you should like these, they are all imports so a good one will be rust free and well cared for, well worth the money, and being the reliable 2.8tdi mitsubishi engine and running gear they are very reliable and plenty of parts available.

remember the deli is a import get insurance quote beware they do rot rear bump stops and front chassis near the cross member fuel is 18/20mpg on a good day fuel pump front seal problems due to age and they do crack heads make sure the radio surround is in one piece as it's about a £100 for a bit of plastic

but i like them i had a super exceed LWB but due to it not being rust proofed on import it rotted also the battery if it leaks acid runs in to the n/s chassis leg and just sits there till it rots

just make sure everything all works if you want a English manual for one i have one to sell PM me
