Model history

The Land Rover LJ88 embodies the synthesis of refined elegance and indestructible working power. The vehicle is characterized by exceptional off-road capability. Its superior off-road capability enables it to traverse even the most demanding terrain, often literally anchoring its wheels to the ground. A Land Rover LJ88 in its original condition is therefore a rarity of considerable value. The ruggedness is flanked by four-wheel drive and a powerful 64 hp engine, which work in perfect harmony to ensure impressive performance. Just under 45,000 of the 3rd generation Land Rover LJ88 were produced by 1975.

      Guten Tag, ich hätte gerne gewusst, wie viele Sitzplätze bei dem Fahrzeug eingetragen sind. Laut Datenblatt (1972) sind es nur zwei! Ist das bei der Abnahme geändert worden? Wenn ja, nur der dritte Platz vorne oder auch die hinteren 4 Plätze? Sind Sie in Kenntnis darüber, ob der Motor schonmal überarbeitet bzw. revidiert wurde? Evtl. bei der ursprünglichen Restauration oder in Ihrem Besitz? Vielen Dank vorab für Ihre Antworten. MfG S.K.

        Technik: Die Land Rover Serien I , II und III oder einfach Land-Rover (allgemein als Series Land Rovers bezeichnet , um sie von späteren Modellen zu unterscheiden) sind kompakte britische Geländewagen , die seit 1948 von der Rover Company und später von British Leyland hergestellt werden . Inspiriert durch den Jeep aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war es das erste in Massenproduktion hergestellte zivile Allradfahrzeug mit Türen und optionalem Hartdach. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Pkw- und Lkw-Fahrgestellen hatte es einen stabileren, vollständig kastengeschweißten Rahmen. Außerdem erhielten Land Rover aufgrund des Stahlmangels und des Aluminiumüberschusses der Nachkriegszeit Karosserien aus rostfreier Aluminiumlegierung, was ihre Langlebigkeit begünstigte. Im Jahr 1992 behauptete Land Rover, dass 70 % aller von ihnen gebauten Fahrzeuge noch immer im Einsatz seien. LG Tom
