I'm sorry to say anything over 100 and the court takes a dim view!
Your looking at 6 points and probably a ban or at best a fine.

Yeh i think you could be looking @ 6 points and a 6 month ban here... sorry to say. Calvin on here got done doing a similar speed and got banned for 6 months
EDIT:
Just spoken to my dad, he said that its definatly at least a month ban for that along with 6 points and a fine. Maybe 6 months ban depending on the situation surrounding the speeding offence. Like if you do 70 in a 30 with kids about they will throw the book at you but if you get done late at night on a motorway its not as dodgy. If you get what i mean...

About two months ago my mate was caught doing 120 in his Renault Megane down the M4 in South Wales. It was night, he got pulled by the law and they gave him a good ticking off, £60 and three points there and then, or he could go to court and argue his case. He took the fine and points.
He was lucky that he did get pulled as if he went to court he probably would have got some sort of ban.

Oooooooooooooh 105 in a 70mph
Tsch Tsch Tsch
Id say considering the time (10:30pm ISNT that late in the courts eyes, im afraid) your looking at at least a months ban as well as a couple of hundred quid fine, possibly more
i got done for doing 120mph in a 70 on A127 and i got a 6 month ban, but then got it reduced to 3 months cos my work sent court a letter saying that i need licence for my job BUT they increased the fine to £300 !!!!
Maybe you could do this too? have a printed and signed letter from your place of work, explainging that if you cant drive your cant complete your job properly and the company will incur heavy costs.
Always worth a try mate !!
Failing that, say you had the ebola virus and was rushing to hospital !!!
