Land Rover 101 Forward Control

The Land Rover 101 Forward Control, or 101FC, was a light utility vehicle built by Land Rover for the British Army between 1972 and 1978 and not sold to the public new, only later as military surplus. It was designed mainly as a gun tractor to tow the L118 Light Gun with a ton of ammunition and equipment, which gave it the alternative name Land Rover One Tonne. Its 3.5 litre Rover V8 sat beneath and behind the cab, removing the bonnet so the cuboid vehicle used little space in transport aircraft, and the 101 inch wheelbase gave it its name. Ambulance, radio and electronic warfare bodies followed, and it served with the RAF Regiment towing Rapier missile equipment before appearing in the film Judge Dredd.
