Land Rover 109 Series III LWB

The Land Rover is certainly one of the best-known symbols of "Made in England" on 4 wheels and is indeed one of the milestones in the history of off-road vehicles.
It was developed immediately after the war, with the first prototypes in 1947, to perform both civilian and military tasks. Inspired, though not directly, by the American Jeep, it featured 4x4 all-wheel drive and a robust and reliable structure capable of tackling the most difficult and demanding routes.
The aluminium body made it lighter, but at the same time more resistant to corrosion and more durable.
By the time the Series III was introduced in 1971, more than a million units had been produced and built for both civilian and military use, in both the 88-inch "short wheelbase" and 109-inch "long wheelbase" versions.
