    Great article.Brightened my dreary wet Sunday morning. Land Rover built a series of 100 inch coil sprung vehicles in the late 70's for a Swiss Army contract trial. Obviously the suspension was not heavily modified. Unfortunately they were unsuccessful . The 100 inch wheel base was never developed as it was deemed to close to the planned 110 and 90 vehicles' .In the Mid 80's they had another go at the contract and built several 110 vehicles with automatic gearboxes with a variety of engines including 3.5ltr EFI V8's. Bodies were all soft top with vinyl 2 part hoods along the lines of a Pinzgauer, Swing out rear half doors with one off spare wheel carriers. Two of these 110's are known to still exist both V8's 1 in Switzerland and 1 in the UK. What could have been!
