Horrible things, one of the most uncomfortable vehicles I have ever driven.

A very cramped drivers position made even worse when they brought in the Defender and put a door trim on it, you had to have the window open and elbow out just to get comfy.

FFR version, once all the gear was loaded, radios, masts etc etc there was no room for the crew!

Then there was the heater that worked better as a fridge.

Remember the front wheel wobble that came in between 20 to 40mph and stopped all attempts at steering?

Tyres that told every one you were on the way.

Overpriced junk that kept on selling because the Govt kept on buying it to keep the industry going.

FWIW, the 'G' Wagons, we had at AFCENT (1992-4) while slightly more comfortable were so underpowered they made the 110 look like a overpowered muscle machine...
