You are in Spain ?

The cheapest and easier to fix is a land rover santana series 3. They are available from 500 eu, and you can updated the vehicle for an overland with cheap parts from junkyards --at the same time you get familiar with the machine-- (extra military tank, H.D. parabollocks, rear differential.. etc..)
a good used 2500cc engine cost only 400 eu.

Good luck !
