Vehicle description

Model history

The Land Rover LJ88 embodies the synthesis of refined elegance and indestructible workforce. The vehicle is characterized by exceptional off-road capability. Its superior off-road capability enables it to traverse even the most demanding terrains, often anchoring its wheels to the ground in the truest sense of the word. Therefore, an original Land Rover LJ88 is a rarity of considerable value. The robustness is flanked by all-wheel drive and a powerful 77 hp engine, which work in perfect harmony to ensure impressive performance. Almost 45,000 units of the 3rd generation of the Land Rover LJ88 were produced until 1975.
