    Hi there Peter

    I dont have any idea of exact numbers, but the 86-107's were not made for all that long........

    But good question and looking forward to what others have to say.

    According to James Taylor,

    86 inch 49,342 107" 27345
    2 litre 80" 38,747
    1.6 litre 80" 39,829

    None of these figures include prototypes.

    Hello leyland,

    I found this article regarding 86 inch Series 1's - note the first sentence of the third paragraph...

    CAR Classic: 1955 Land Rover Series I 86 - CAR Middle East - Online | Dubai - Abu Dhabi - UAE - Saudi Arabia - Kuwait - Bahrain - Oman - GCC

    To paraphrase, an 86 inch Series 1 - "quite rare specimens" So perhaps less of these than the original 80's
    2007 Defender 110
    2017 Mercedes Benz C Class. Cabriolet
    1993 BMW R100LT
    2024 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black

    What about if you include the SI 88" with the 86", and the SI 109" with the 107"?

    Aaron.
    88" petrol 23,585
    88" diesel 2,359
    109" petrol 15,032
    109" Diesel 1,100

    Adding these figures, gives a total of 78,576 80" and 75,286 86+88". In other words, roughly the same number of 80" as 86+88", even closer if we lump in 107 and 109 - which are the truly rare models, especially the 107 wagon.

    Hi there

    The 86"' landrover:

    In my opinion the 86"is a great all round vehicle, plently of room - powerfull and still very capable off offroad
    (my wifes 86 is used daily around the farm and a great little vehicle).

    I used to own a 80"- but being a big bloke they are a little cramped for room and costly to rebuild.

    So for those with 86"s hang on to them............
