Thread: Range Rover LBW?

Yes.

I think it was 9 inches and the same wheelbase as the P38a - someone will confirm/correct.

8" - I am led to believe

nominal 108" as opposed to nominal 100" - has anybody actually measured one ?

they are around, easily spotted by noticing the extra long second door

there's a few on gumtree atm including http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/baysw...lse/1045232375

marvellous back seat legroom -

AFAIK, all of the extra 8 inches is in the back seat area. Rumour has it that HM wanted a bit more room for One's Corgis, enough to stay on the floor and not on the seat. Rover obliged, with an eye on the Royal Warrant, no doubt and the rest is history.

Probably no merit in the tale, though more interesting than London Stock Exchange...or Long SE


Add another metre and a bit to the already "relaxing" turning circle...

Lets just mention that a 29 seat Mercedes bus I drive has a smaller one.

And I thought, from the thread title, it was about the end of the RR - out LBW!

This is what they told me at the Royal Museum in London. Not sure why i went in, but i had time to kill and it was raining, surprise surprise.

It was also a perfect test bed for p38 chassis components.

I doubt it, I've just spent a day and a half under a LSE soft dash a friend of mine just bought off this forum and it's all stock Classic. The longer chassis was achieved by cutting a 100 inch chassis in half and sticking a patch section in. The rear passenger floor is just a longer ribbed panel inserted between the seat boxes. Terribly sophisticated, what?

Nah, I'm talking about ride and handling. Being able to ballast a classic to test P38 spring/damper tunes etc. Also being able to disguise P38 test mules as LSE's on public roads.
