I see people across the pond

refering to their RR as LWB or SWB, is there or was there different wheel bases on the market?

We have both the Long Wheel Base (LWB) and Short Wheel Base (SWB) Range Rover Classic's in the US. You can tell the difference by looking at the rear door panel and how long that is. I read somewhere that the naming convention in the UK was just different, but the wheelbase options were essentially the same for the Classic. Is that true?

UK spec were called SE (special edition) and LSE (long wheelbase special edition)

LWB = 108 inches
SWB = 100 inches

LSE and SE are good terms to know also. Thanks.

I have the so called "long wheel base"
As mentioned above, mine has an extra 8 inches! Masses of leg room in the back!
