Landrover 88 and 109 are most durable and superb cars and the ancestors of the Defender 90 and 110 which were produced since 1983. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrover 88 and 109 are most durable and superb cars and the ancestors of the Defender 90 and 110 which were produced since 1983. Umm, not quite. The Defender name was introduced in 1990 for the '91 model year onwards. The coil sprung Land Rovers prior to that (from around 1983) were known as Ninety, OneTen and 127, depending on wheelbase. I used to own a 1990 127. Now own a 1990 Defender 90 (and have owned something from Land Rover for most of the 45+ years I have been driving). At one time LR Marketing department insisted Land Rovers had always been called Defenders - another reason I have little use for or belief in marketing depts! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benqui Posted March 5, 2022 Share #8 Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) I do not care about the name, but these are by far the most beautiful 4x4 ever made!!! Since 25 years we always had a Land Rover and the visit of the Land Rover production in Solihull was really stunning. Unfortunately they stopped the production of the "real" Defender.

pgk Posted March 5, 2022 Share #9 Posted March 5, 2022 My father had an ex-agri Land Rover (looked rough, ran well) - it had the fuel tank filler under the passenger seat! Can anyone tell me which model this would have been? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted March 5, 2022 Share #10 Posted March 5, 2022 Most likely a Series 1 80", or possibly an ex-Military Series LR, Paul. Underseat fuel filler mainly confined to them. @benqui Whenever I've sold one on, it doesn't take long before I regret it and have find another one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone tell me which model this would have been? In 1964 I bought an 80ins. Landie. It ha a hardtop. 1·6ltr. petrol engine, o/h inlet angled side exhaust; a real oil gobbler. Petrol tank under the driver seat, bit of a [in at times but did cause amusement.The registration document (log-book) showed it to be a 'civilian' car and there were no indications of military attachments. There was a little pride in exhibiting a few dints and scrapes, poorly patched,. As one service-man remarked it had seen many salty winters. There was much debate that there was no such thing a s a series 1 Land Rover until the first series 2 was put on the road. The word defender was not heard of until that model was introduced. The thing to do, on a pleasant day, was to remove the hardtop or tilt, fold the windscreen flat, remove the side windows from the doors and just tootle around. Wonderful! Good motoring to you D.
