TEW is a very lovely job, pretty well equates to a 100" NAS spec.
Indeed... ISTR It was used as some sort of fire engine in its former life. Many moons ago, when Nick first restored TEW, I remember reading about the restoration in LRO. it has since been refurbished recently by a friend of mine.I bumped into Nick just after lockdown but recognised TEW before I spotted him stood next to it.

TEW has had some interesting iterations, from RRC to split screen hybrid to the Frogs Island Defenderisation to the latest Ben Stowe NAS style in white. I didn't know it had been a fire engine as well!
Here's another gratuitous photo, at Gaydon Aug 21, mines the Shire Blue V8 soft top alongside. The wheelbase should be 8" different, but TEW is a little longer than 100"- closer to 102"
