So I was wondering what has a wheel base of 100 inches or near as makes no odds?

So far there are obviously a bunch of Land/Range rovers of that size.
A few GM pickup trucks.
A few vintage Volvos.

Anything spring to mind as I've not found a way of searching Wikipedia by wheelbase....

As you say, but to confirm - I think the LR 90 and 110 might give a clue.

I am pretty sure a Fiat Tipo has a 100" wheelbase. Maybe some of the other cars based on it did as well so a fair few.

Another one is the Citroen C3 Picasso.

Edit: Xsara too.

Tomorrow I'll try and remember to search all the new-registered cars with 2540mm wheelbases and post them, but I can't do historic searches. I have the feeling there will be a lot, and not many of them very interesting either! Citroen C3 Picasso sprung to mind for me too, no idea why.

The MK6 golf has a 100" wheelbase - I went out to measure mine, and it was much longer, so measured my neighbours car smile

The military forward control Land Rover had a wheelbase of 101" IIRC.

I really want one, and I'd get a powered trailer too, making it a 6x6!

I was once told the ubiquitous Mk2 Escort has a 100" wheelbase, but Google tells me it's 94...

It's worth noting that 90's and 110's don't actually have a wheelbase that matched their type designator!

(And as, they have leading and trailing arm suspension, the wheel base depends on the ride height!)
