We hired a 105 over in Aus to get up in the outback last year. Quite a good vehicle but the engine was fairly gutless. I tried racing a Defender TD5 130 Crewcab off the lights and up a long hill on tarmac over a mile and lost all the way. In addition, the Defender was a railway vehicle with the metal wheel assembly to allow it to run on tracks so was carrying a fair bit of weight.
That said, it was a good vehicle and have been considering buying one but would definitely bolt on a turbo.
