The turning circle on the short wheelbase is a hell of a sight easier to live with, having been driving my swb for the first time in a while. All of a sudden, it's easy getting into parking spaces again.
The SWB, designated F70 for diesel, or F80 for petrol, has a one piece steel roof. The LWB, F75 diesel, or F85 for petrol, has a stepped roof, which is part steel, but mainly resin top. The factory soft tops were SWB. But its possible to remove the resin top from the rear of a LWB, so then look for the factory pop up sunroof.
Im sure if you search google images you will get examples of both.
I did do a full thread on here once that explained what all the model designations meant.

Hello, i am new to this forum but am looking to do a lot of travelling and want something that is going to last and do the business I.e a four track. I would like to pick up a second hand one, preferably a diesel with not more than 80,000 on the clock. I have got a budget of around £800 and was wondering if there was anybody that maybe able to help me out. I live in Oxford but am willing to travel if the price is right.
