I've just fitted a new battery in my 1986 110 and this one just squeezes in. Some my find the measurements in the pic useful. The battery clamp rod holes get covered though so an alternative battery clamp method is needed.
Shouldn't be too difficult to sort.

Oh, and bear in mind the post layout.
I made all new leads during the rebuild many yrs ago so I can fit positive front right or positive front left, plenty of slack.
Yours might not be long enough?

Looks like an 019 battery?
Dead common on most modern larger engined cars.

I recently fitted a Yuasa Battery YBX3642 (110Ah 925 CCA) this has central posts so do not need to worry about the post orientation. Dimensions
Length : 329mm
Width : 173mm
Height : 240mm

However it was more expensive than the LP020 shown above at £104 and looks to have basically the same spec (although a little smaller physically). When I was looking it was head and shoulders above any other I could find in terms of CCA.
