Still 110 at this time. |

We've got a page of these listed as "One-Ten", while more are listed as "110". Shall we change the One-Tens to 110s? |

One-Ten (and Ninety) is the more correct name, AFAIK for these earlier ones but it is not particularly a problem for me if they are listed the other way. |

I know Land Rover fans often call them Ninety and One-Ten, although on the badges they use numbers instead (not saying this means the other way is wrong) |

Equally, all contemporary brochures used One Ten and Ninety. It's an unclear situation but the impression I have is that One Ten is the most widely used term. But as it is a grey area I'm not going to die in a ditch about it. |

I have the bad habit of picking up phrases from other people online. -- Last edit: 2013-01-21 19:34:44 |

Scotsmen have always died in ditches - usually in stramashes against yet another English invasion. I suppose the English equivalent phrase would be having a sherry on the patio. |

"I'm not going to have a sherry on the patio for this" doesn't quite have the same ring to it |

Okay, I know I'm going to sound totally ditzafied by asking, but what does ''sherry'' mean? -- Last edit: 2013-01-10 00:13:26 |

Fortified wine. |

I think it's one of those stereotypical upper-crust English things. |
◊ 2013-01-10 00:37 |
I've just changed them all to 110. |

Wasn't there a point when they changed the name? I thought that the full-letter name was used on recent ones. When Alexander was around, it was easier: he was sorting all these himself properly -- Last edit: 2013-01-10 17:27:39 |

I think it was One Ten/Ninety from the start up until 1990 when the Defender name was introduced at which point it became Defender 90/110 Late 1982 launch brochure has One-Ten: Link to "www.freewebs.com" As does 1989: Link to "www.freewebs.com" 1990 shows the change: Link to "www.freewebs.com" This is a very early one (check the windows) |

^^^ But like I said on the badges it still said 'Land-Rover 90/110' before the Defender name was introduced. I think it's simpler to keep using numbers. |
