They did....very briefly back in 1988. From memory they had a Bi-centenary version of the County 110 V8. You still see some running around, although they are very rare.Quote:

I'm not really sure I see the point, all you are doing is reducing your load space. I suppose you can carry stuff you wouldn't want inside the vehicle, and it's more accessible, but also more accessible to thieves.
It's a defender thing no one else will under stand. ;) :angel:Quote:

It is difficult to see why anyone would prefer one to either the wagon or the 130 dual cab. The only reason I can think of is if you really don't want something as big as a 130, but need both five seats and the ability to carry hazardous materials such as farm chemicals - they are getting a lot tougher on this sort of thing these days, and you are not allowed to carry in the passenger compartment things such as chemicals, gas bottles above a certain size, more than 10l petrol etc. The rules have been there for some time, but they are beginning to be enforced. Despite this, most people with this need will go for something with a bigger tray area - either the single cab 110 or the 130 either single or dual cab.Quote:

But in answer to your question - they have been sold here.
They are called Ifo back. Manly because the backs are made by Ifo Williams.Quote:

The dual cab 110's we bought out in the Uk after the uk tax department made it that a car, that could 1 ton in the back would not come under company car tax. Which in the UK is very high. Land Rover saw the toyotas and Mit's and ford ones were selling so rushed out a 110 version. WAS and is very popular.Quote:
