    I can answer that one pretty well The adf had 50 101's, and they are well sought after by collectors

    This page on REMLR has the info
    101 FC in Australia REMLR

    and this page the rego numbers and chassis numbers of all of the australian delivered ones.
    101 ARN Listing - REMLR

    more have been brought over from overseas by private import and there are a couple of prototype/pre production vehicles about the place as well.

    I got them from a source in the UK who was knowledgeable about the 101's history and prototypes. I think he is the 101 club historian if I recall.

    Anyway, that vehicle is actually slugbaits now. It;s a bit of a mystery because it and the one after it are out of chassis number sequence (look at the arn list 101 ARN Listing - REMLR) and were supposedly sold off out of UK service3 in the 80's. But obviously not!

    Ditto x 10 - what little driving I have done with mine shows nothing like that - swerving and the odd wheel locking but nothing like that.

    My 101 always pulls up straight as a arrow.
    I do find I need to keep the front brakes adjusted to stop the pedal getting too close to the floor.
    I have the gear needed to by pass the rear proportioning valve and will do it soon to see if I improves braking power.
    Judging by the above photo, if the rear wheels are not on the ground during a emergency stop. then rear wheel lock up is not a issue.
