its listed as a series 3, his title is "LAND ROVER 110 Series 3 Diesel 2.25 LWB Recon engine"

i presume the 110 is for the 110" wheelbase as apposed to the model?

Rust expands!

A £620 bid for that and it's not enough, and someone suggested £500 for my
SWB was perhaps too much!

Maybe it's not such a daft question, considering that Land Rover have
made 2-wheel drive vehicles. I came across one many years ago when I
was desperately looking to buy my first, very second-hand Land Rover.
After travelling miles to see various promising-sounding ones that
turned out to be a load of rust and tat, and becoming more and more
dejected in the process, I got quite excited when I found a very good
looking SWB (Series IIA, if my memory is correct), only to find it was
2-wheel drive, and had left the factory in that form.

Some years latter, I mentioned this to Land Rover's sales department
when they ran an advertisement in the national press stating that Land
Rover had only ever made 4-wheel drive vehicles and therefore were
4-wheel drive experts. They admitted some 2-wheel drives had been made
but as they were for special orders (some military and airfield use, I
think they said), they didn't count.

I do recall reading something about that. They had the standard transmission
and transfer case, but the front output shaft just had a plate blanking it
off. What was the front axle arrangement? I assume all the suspension was
the same.

Hi Group, I can confirm the use of Landrover 4x2 vehicles for airfields use.
In our experience it was a waste of time people got bogged down on the grass
surrounding the airstrip, also got stuck in icy conditions. Then 4x4s were
purchased only to have drivers using fourwheel drive on the tarmac so the
front propshaft was then removed.

The Belgium army had a few hundred 4x2 88" SIII soft top Land Rovers. Over
here in the Netherlands they are popular because of the limited slip-diff
in the rear axle and the fact that the cars didn't do much (offroad)
kilometers. Ofcourse the first job is to make 4x4 of the car :)

Yeah, and that extra inch really matters, as a friend once told me.
