I sense an impending flogging...
Did land rover ever make a defender with a 100 inch wheelbase? I seem to vaguely remember something like this, but it seems to have slipped me. I have tried my friend google, but it appears that he too is stumped. Anyone help?

But did they ever produce one in any sort of significant number?

Mark Evans talks about them in his video on his 100" build. Apparently 25 were built and sold to French and Swiss military.

It's something I have been thinking about for a while, only thing stopping me is the daft prices of parts here in NZ

Apart from the prototype no. The Defender Mark Evans built was a 100 inch, he used a RR chassis and then welded on the correct outriggers to suit. As far as I know he build it using the one in the Dunsfold collection as a guide.

Just get a 110 and save yourself the hassle.

the prototypes land rover made were on RRC chassis' anyway

ive always liked the idea of a 100" defender.
