What is this 110 all about?

http://images8.fotki.com/v115/fileHMis/276d1/3/386139/1365092/CNV00015.jpg

I took this pic a while ago, so cant remember where it was.........

Does anyone know what this vehicle is designed for?

There was an attachment down the nearside, and a device attached to the
front?

Any Ideas?

I believe it's testing the road surface for integrity.

That yellow thing offside,on the roof rack, looks like a kind of GPS
antenna. Maybe it surveys the road using satellite like they do the surveys
on Tony Robinsons 'Time Team' programme...

Could be testing the thermal pattern of the road surface for ice danger
spots.

.....to find an empty patch of road for another meaningless display of
road surface art.

When I worked at the Transport and Road Research Laboratory (now TRL) they
were working on a number of ideas to measure/survey/inspect the road surface
from moving vehicles, to avoid coning off, etc. One idea was called the
'bump integrator'' and consisted of a trailer with a large weight on
springs, the idea being that at 40 mph the weight stayed relatively constant
and the trailer went up and down with the road bumps. They were also
working on a number of ideas involving lasers to measure the profiles and
surfaces. It looks as if it might be something similar - I can't decide
what the logo on the door is, but it doesn't look quite right for TRL.

PS - drove my first Landy there 29 years ago - bright yellow LWB with lots
of flashing lights, a lab in the back, and an on-board generator - great if
you want a cup of tea!
