Thread: Last of the 88 inch wheel base

I think I remember Dad saying he got the 1978 game in 1979 because I couldn't be bothered waiting for a new 88" to come from wherever. So possibly there was more?

Hopefully that is somewhat helpful, along with info from others. I'm not old enough to remember that stuff

You mean the last assembled in Australia? I don't know, although I drove a hire 88 in 1980 or 81 that was pretty near new.

Production of the 88 continued until the 90 was introduced in 1984, and I believe one or two were assembled as late as 1990. But I really don't know when assembly or importing stopped here, but they must have been fairly scarce, as all the late Series 3s I can think of are 109s.

Back around 1990 a mate bought a 88" truck cab ex Kings Park Board(WA).It was pristine,4 or 5 years old with less than 20000ks on the clock.

I had a 1981 build 88'' truck cab now owned by a indy LR specialist in Sydney. Pat
