1981 LAND ROVER 109" Series III Ex-Ambulance Camper

A well-known body variant on the Land Rover 109" was the ambulance. It was used by the British and Dutch army.
The first 109" ambulances appeared at the Series IIA.
This Series III was in use as a camper.
This Dutch registration plate number for commercial vehicles was later changed to a passenger car license plate.

The very first Land Rover was built in 1947 as a prototype. Designer Maurice Wilks (UK, 1904-1963) was inspired by the multi purpose Jeep used by the American Army during WWII. Rover wanted to meet a need for a strong 4WD vehicle used on rough areas in the UK and Common Wealth countries abroad.
The final Land Rover version was launched at the RAI Amsterdam Motor Show, April 1948.

In September 1953 the 86" Series I replaced the 80" Series I to create more loading space. At the same time a complete new model was presented: the 107" Station Wagon.
Series II was introduced in April 1958, and was redesigned by David Bache (1925-1994).
This Land Rover is a 88" Series IIA example. The Series IIA were introduced in September 1961. With this model IIA, a diesel engine was also an option for the Land Rover for first time.
The Series III models are easy to recognize by the ABS plastic grille and the flat door hinges.
