So, as I learn about Land Rovers and history, I am confused about " regular" ans a " Station Wagon". I have read a few items here and there, but cant seem to find a definitive answer. So, my 69 2a bugeye has inward facing rear seats, sliding windows all around, a one piece opening rear door. There is no Station Wagon badge though. Is this a regular? I dont mean to sound stupid, but I am new and as far as parts go, sometimes it is asked if it is a regular or wagon. I will add that is was imported to California when new if that makes a difference. Much obliged.
Yet another boneheaded question..

HA! Didnt know you were on here, I will surely do that. So what I have come up with, is yes the tropical roof. Which I dont have as you know. i have also seen rear jump seats instead of the bench style. The more I read, the more I love it. I see a 109 in my future..( as I laugh). I am also thankful mine wasnt messed with too much, as i makes it easier to understand, I know exactly what i have. I am doing the frame and underside in a week I will let you know how it went.1969 Series 2a BugeyeComment

I had those jump seats in my '68 there were more holes in the tub for mounting them They look cool but I think they are not very practical and they were difficult to remove.
If you want a 109 I will buy your 88 My current project is fast becoming more than I care to deal with.

Sounds like you have a SW. The 109/110 SW usually has five doors too. Don't know about "regular" but the usual commercial variation is the hard top which has no side windows and three doors. Otherwise there are the hicap, ute, tray back, ... and of course the rag top.Last edited by disco2hse; 09-18-2011, 09:02 PM.Comment

Aha! I found an article about Rovers and North America. They called this a Deluxe Hardtop or Federal 88. From 1969 on,88s came here with standard hardtop, rear bench seats, full rear door, and station wagon sides. This was to meet Federal Standards of the time. They also had EGR, vacuum retard and charcoal canister. Interesting.1969 Series 2a BugeyeComment
