About The Land Rover 109 LWB

Celebrated as a symbol of Made in England engineering, the Land Rover became a milestone in off-road history. Originating shortly after the war with prototypes from 1947, it was created to serve both civilian and military needs. Influenced—though not directly—by the American Jeep, it combined a capable 4x4 drive with a strong, reliable frame to tackle demanding terrain. Its aluminium body helped reduce weight while improving resistance to corrosion and ensuring longevity. By 1971, when the Series III arrived, more than a million Land Rovers had been produced for a wide range of uses. The model was offered in two wheelbase lengths: the 88-inch standard wheelbase and the 109-inch long wheelbase, the latter providing the extra space and versatility that made it a favourite for work and expedition roles.
