Quote from: Mycroft on Today at 06:23 PMQuote from: NoBeardNoTopKnot on Today at 02:27 PMI think we mix 'popularity then or now' with sales figures. Except in the first year or so of production, buyers bought rather more 109s than 88s.
You had to have a need for an 88, and not everyone had that, 88s are not as practical, they bought more 109s.
88s were LESS popular with buyers.
However as 88s & 109s progressed thru' the food-chain it is the 88 that better survives. Hence popular now.
According to Gaydon records, 88" IIas took up over 57% of the UK Land Rover market, with petrol 88" models being by far the most common type sold (41.6% of all UK sales).

If you want a rare SWB, seek out an 81"!
I believe they made 200 ... half with a Rover Engine, half with the Rolls Royce engine from the Champ ... for Army "suitability" trials ... interchangeability of spares, etc.
I can't remember why they decided they didn't want the Champ.
602 (Who contrived to squeeze a BMC 2.2TD into a Champ ... about 50 years ago ... and found it was cheaper to run than Barbara's Hillman Imp, but only because diesel cost a lot less than petrol per gallon)
