Indeed they were, a little place called Staverton in Gloucestershire.

Another interesting fact with these... To get the track right, the original wheels were removed, and refitted backwards.. The nuts were also refitted backwards. Im told they were even harder to steer than a std 101 and were limited to slow speeds on set due to the wheel issue!! :D
One that was driveable is 200mtrs down the road from where I work at Nowra.
I suspect someone on this site knows it well as everytime I see it ,more and more parts go missing/sold off from it.

I must admit, the idea of spaceframing a Dredd Bodyshell (and losing the original 101 cab structure) to properly make use of all the internal space, followed by a repower with a more modern engine and it has potential to be a rather tasty motor.
