Manufacturer description

The legendary Land Rover was first launched in 1948 and was the brainchild of Maurice Wilks, the Rover Company's Chief Engineer at the time. The Series 1 88" versions were manufactured at the Rover factory and were all petrol engined. The suffix 88" refers to the wheelbase dimensions. The versatile Land Rover was used extensively by the emergency services. This version, registered RGC 953, is decorated in the unusual colour scheme of grey with deep yellow roof as used by the Gwynedd Health Authority in North Wales. It features the blue roof light and bell and has the distinctive Land Rover Series 1 88" radiator grille. Note too, the bi-lingual signage on the sides - Welsh on the offside and English on the nearside and the detailed, colourful crest on the doors. A new model addition is a roof board identifying the Ambulance Rescue Service above the front windscreen.
