Thread: Interesting article title

Perhaps then;
shorty medium and long
or small regular and large or is this getting to close to a latte order.

Whilst the 90 is now a hundred is was once an 86 and an 83.
So perhaps it is starting to suffer from middle age spread.

or perhaps its just a descriptor rather than a definition.
I think its nice they have hung onto a bit of old language.

But for me she'll always be a ninety and often a shorty, I know what I mean and what it means to me.

could LR have marketed the 663 without misconceptions of its wheelbase?

A 90 has never been 90 inches, it was 93 inches.
A 130 has never been 130 inches, it was 127 inches.

So Land Rover are just continuing a naming system they stuffed up 40 years ago.

Defender 93 or Defender 127 really doesn’t roll off the tongue does it? Stuff up? No, just sensible.
