STORY

The 88-inch wheelbase became the short-wheelbase form of the original Land Rover in the mid-1950s, after the 80-inch Series I introduced in 1948. The Series I pioneered the marque with a rugged box-section chassis, aluminium-alloy body panels and selectable four-wheel drive. The 88-inch length became the definitive short-wheelbase utility Land Rover through the 1950s.
