Types

So far Tempo-Land Rover types have been divided into 80" and 86" types.
But there were at least two 88" types which were based on a series 2 chassis and produced for the BGS.

Tempo-Land Rover with 80" wheelbase

The base is a Land Rover series 1 LHD export with 80" wheelbase and the old 2.0 litres engine. Frontwings, doors and body have been made of steel by Vidal&Sohn.
