A 101 Specification

When it came up to the end of the Land Rover 101s lifetime in service with the MOD, the company tendered to rebuilt the ageing fleet and to upgrade them to the new 200Tdi turbo diesel and improve other areas where the vehicle was "dated", however this contract was not taken up and the RB44 and Pinz were eventually selected.

I would like to build my 101 as a suggested idea of what may have been possible if Land Rover had built these 200Tdi powered 101s, and what they could have became once entering civilian hands.
