I don't think 127s were available in 1985???
WB looks longer than 120"
Well it's obvious it's not a 110 as advertised, and it's an '85 model, so I'm guessing it would be a 127, but were any of these produced new with the Isuzu engine for the Australian market like the 110's, or is it more likely to be an import/conversion.

120" Converted, maybe? Or one of these-

Defender heater box, look at all that space for a turbo. 300tdi fan shroud? 110/County grille with the bonnet lock.
Its a 110 converted......
According to Calvin it is a 110 wagon, V8 Petrol (but Calvin gives the V8 petrol for all Isuzus!).
Clearly it has either had the chassis extended or a 130 chassis, suggesting it had better come with engineering certificates. The roof clearly shows it is a converted wagon, as does the sloping rear edge to the panel below and behind the rear door.

My money's on a converted 120. It looks longer because its missing the ~20cm box behind the rear seats that the curved rear panel fits on. In the photo showing the rear seats, they appear mounted forward of the door edge by ~10cms. Also, the position of the rear wheel relative to the rear door doesn't appear 20 inches behind where the wheel of a 110 would be.
'86 or earlier V8 stationwagon body(hand throttle near handbrake), converted to a double cab, with an extended chassis, airfilter housing dosen't look right and a later aircond/heater unit. That thing should be held together with blue plates! Not a bad concept though.
Well, you folks can debate what it may consist of, but this is the bit that has me intrigued ....... "motor & gearbox reco about 40,000klms ago, not that it needed it"
Hotdawg! It musta had some clicks on it before they shoved it in the blender! Maybe the 40,000 was when it went in? Also makes me wonder how they define the term 'reco'? And, exactly when was the last time someone spent a motza on a 'reco' to a motor that didn't need it?
Think I'll send them a queery.
