Hi Simon,
Essentially yes - it's an 100 series with an 80 series front axle and a
basic non turbo 4.2 diesel (or petrol engine) engine.
On the styling front it is the same basic shape as a 100, but less fancy
trim - you can see a pic of one here:

> The 105 is essentially a basic version of the 105/Amazon with a solid
front axle (like the 80 series) and a basic non turbo engine.

are very pricey if you are trying to buy one privately.

> I like the body style of the 105 which like the 100 series is
fractionally larger inside and have considered trying to import one, but
would want a better engine in it and would also struggle to find an
auto.

> For the amount of money you have to pay for a second hand 105 you
should be able to get a reasonable 1995-1997 24valve GX 80 series and
have money left over for initial baseline servicing and some additional
prep work.
