86 inch Series 1

What is your favourite Land Rover of all time?

Customers were demanding more and more carrying capacity in their Land-Rovers and so in the Autumn of 1953, two new and larger models replaced the 80-inch original The direct replacement for the 80-inch had an 86-inch wheelbase and an increased rear overhang, which together gave nine more inches in the load bed. The new long-wheelbase model had 107 inches between the axle centres and a full six feet of load space in its load bed. From mid-1954, a seven-seater Station Wagon was offered on the 86-inch chassis and during 1956 a ten-seater model was made available on the 107-inch chassis.
