On the doc the had what looked like a shorty forward control that they had unloaded to get around in. I never took a picture or asked what they were.

never but would like to see a pic

I have an 80" rolling chassis that the PO converted to forward control, fitted it with a falcon 6cyl. It was about as tall as it was long and very very dangerous!

Not sure what the wheel base is.

I have an LRO mag in my collection somewhere which has a writeup on the 88" FC...

Apparently it wasn't especially stable.

Since the 101 is prone to doing nose wheelies when going down steep hills, I would hate to see what the 88" FC is like.

I'd read somewhere recently that 1 88 fc was trialed by land rover, but it enjoyed handstands too much.

Never seen a photo of one though.
