80, 86, 88, 107,109????

I thought series 1s were all short wheelbase! Oh no, after consulting my copy of "Land Rover owner international", they did indeed make them in long wheel base variants. Price range ?750 - ?7000!!!!!

I still want a 101, though.

Series 1's were 80".....86" and later they introduced the 88" & 107" LWB

The 109 didn't come out until 1959/60.

3 years too late john.


Series I



1956 saw the introduction of the first 5 door model. known as the Station Wagon with seating for up to 10. The 86" model had 7 seats and only 3 doors. The new Station Wagons were very different to the previous 'Tickford' model, being built with simple metal panels and bolt-together construction instead of the comnplex wooden structure of the older Station Wagon. They were intended to be used both as commercial vehicles as people-carriers for transporting workmen to remote locations, as well as by private users. Like the Tickford version, they came with basic interior trim and equipment such as heaters and interior lights.

The Station Wagons saw the first expansion of the Land Rover range. Station Wagons were fitted with a 'Safari Roof' which consisted of a second roof skin fitted on top of the vehicle. This kept the interior cool in hot weather and reduced condensation in cold weather. Vents fitted in the roof allowed added ventilation to the interior. While they were based on the same chassis and drivetrains as the standard vehicles, Station Wagons carried different chassis numbers, special badging and were advertised in separate brochures. Unlike the original Station Wagon, the new 'in-house' versions were highly popular.

With the exception of the 107 wagon, wheelbases moved to 88 in (2235 mm) and 109 in (2769 mm) for the pickup.

Finally, in 1957, the "spread bore" petrol engine was introduced, followed shortly by a brand new 2.0 litre Diesel engine that, despite the similar capacity, was not related to the petrol engines used. The petrol engines of the time used the rather out-dated 'Inlet over Exhaust valve arrangement- the diesel used the more modern Over-Head layout. This diesel engine was one of the first high-speed diesels developed for road use, producing 52 horsepower at 4,000 rpm.

This engine was slightly longer than the original chassis allowed, so the wheelbase was increased from 86 to 88 inches (2235mm) for the short-wheelbase models, and from 107 to 109 inches on the long-wheelbases. These dimensions were to be used on all Land Rovers for the next 25 years.


series 2 ran from 58-61, followed by series 2a upto 71

The 109 S2 was 1958...........1 yr out..

We , as a family, had a genuine 4x2 S1 Land Rover with a beam front axle and low range transfer box from 1967 -- 1975

Then we got a S2a diesel 88" station wagon of 1964 vintage which i passed my test in, its still in the family today.

1985 we got a Range Rover Vogue 4dr V8 (which i ended up with)

1990 saw a new Tdi 200 Discovery
1997 A new Tdi 300 Discovery
&
1998 i bought a very rare prototype 110 Land Rover part time 4x4 with selectable 2/4 wheeldrive, 5sp box, diff lock, coil springs and free wheel hubs..

2005 bought a 1968 S2a truck cab L/R
2006 S1 80" V8 trials L/R
2006 S1 88" Hybrid for spares
2006 S1 86" canvas back as a daily driver.
2006 Range Rover 'BobTail' V8 road legal comp vehicle just awaiting cash handover.

I like my 4x4s.........can't beat a roll in the mud.

Rhino, did you buy one of the original G...WAC discos then? I too like to go off roading and also do the occasional bit of green laning. I believe there is an old quarry in Rochdale that has open days where you can "pay and play". Do you happen to know which one I mean as we wouldn't mind going over as we've been to most off road sites this side of the Pennines? I am also a member of the TRF but my DR600 is a bit too heavy to green lane on so I'm looking for something smaller.

 

[Wolfie]

then i had best tell my mate that his 1956 109 pick up is made up, he will be pissed off after spending all that time and money on it as well

but his series2 is alright along with the station wagon and his lightweight, and the defender, i think i also ought to get him to let the series1 land rover club know that they are wrong as well just to be fair dont you???

:k :k :k

Mortis, NO it wasn't a G***WAC, it was an early 'J' in mingin blue.

My 100 was on an 'A' pre-fix and had many S3 features inc sliding windows, dash etc but RR running gear.

sorry!!

BUT it wasn't put into production until 1959 as per Land Rover history website tells... They kept the 107" production vehicle running until '59' for the introduction of the S2..

" Due to production line capacity constraints, the 107" vehicle would remain in production as a station wagon until 1959 when the 109" Series II Station Wagon was launched. As well as the advent of a diesel option, 1957 saw the arrival of fully floating half-shafts on the long wheelbase 109" vehicle. "

So, the pick-up 109 was in production buy NOT the 109 Station Waggon.

I like this Foxy, keep it going, its cage chat and your playing. :bow:
