Old Leafsprung Land Rovers

Someone may have fitted the longer bench seats in the rear, would have still thought it would be rated for carrying two on either side though, so four in the rear max regardless of how many can fit in.

I seem to have sent myself on a tangent. Not suggesting I would squeeze nine into my SWB, just pointing out that the rear bench is the same width as the front which does seat 3.
Only over short distance, but I have traveled with three in the front. Cosy but it works.
So back on topic, sort of. My old 109 Caravanette had seating for, in theory, 8 or maybe 7 n half ! Again cosy.
But back then I was not asked about seats. More recently one insurer declined to quote when I said the 88 had seven seats.
I've forgotten the question !   

I’ve never been asked about seats when insuring, but you’d be pushing it to get nine people in an 88”.
You’d be pushing it to get three in the front unless you had Warwick Davis sitting in the middle.😂

Aye, apart from the Mercury I can't recall any names. Some where big and some where small.
I do recall a small printers, I think they did Children's books and Jigsaws. It was in a small street and always outside was a Black Rover Vitesse.
I had a blue one, but always liked the look of that one.

McKenzie and Tapp printers comes to an aged and forgetful mind, was about 45 years ago
