4 variable speed, so it states.....
M12 FUEL™ Angled Die Grinder | Angled Grinders | Milwaukee Tool UK
M12 FUEL™ angled die grinder. The first cordless right angle die grinder that delivers more power vs. pneumatic models. Compact size (only 119 mm long) to help fit in tight places, and offers great mobility and access.uk.milwaukeetool.eu
Slowest is 10,000 rpm, up to 24500rpm.
I'm gonna give it a try, though.

The last time I used a flexible shaft (oo-er, Missus!), it seized up and ripped the drive motor down which smacked me in the head and almost laid me out cold.
I'm not a fan.

Incorrect. Many current branded cordless grinders are at the 8500rpm speed, where as 80m/s would be 13k rpm, quite a difference.
115's apart from 3rd one is a 125mm.

Regarding the torque vs speed mentioned above,
I've got a brushless cordless grinder.
That's got 3 speeds.
I've not got any way of measuring it but I would say it has just as much torque at the lower speeds.
This would make sense to me as the torque will be determined by the motors rotor diameter (I think?)
The old school variable speed stuff certainly dropped torque at lower speed but I think that was to do with the speed controller.
Modern brushless stuff is basically a 3-phase motor running from a tiny vfd (again, I think) so can provide full torque at lower rpm.
Obviously work done = torque × rpm.
But, in practice, you can actually do more work with a wire brush at a lower speed as you can use higher pressure to dig in more.
At high speed you'll just skate across the surface.

I've handled one in my local toolshop (geo spence, wortley, Leeds), and its basically their m12c cordless drill with a different end on it. I already have one of those, and its awkwardly shaped for working under a car

No.
The do a straight, and a right angle, die grinder, and a "polisher", which is basically their m12 cordless drill without the clutch and a different chuck
Get the M12 Die Grinder in straight or right angle, depending on your preference. I have the right angle but I don't use it with a wire brush and instead the 3M bristle brush which remove rapidly and last surprisingly well.

@bigegg
I got a cable a few years ago. One end went in the drill, and you could put a small brush etc in the other end.I think there was sort of chuck to hold bits.The cable would would spin inside a sleeve. I still have in the garage.
This May be similar?

That looks perfect - *if* it will take standard wire wheels.
I shall investigate further.

I have both M12 right angle die grinder and the sander polisher.
The M12 die grinder is great, I use roloc accessories for it and some small wire wheels only where required for access. And of course as a die grinder when metalworking! Great tool. Mini roloc compatible flap discs are fantastic for weld dressing down in tight areas.
However, for stripping a car underbody unless you mean small localised areas, if you plan on doing the whole car with an m12 die grinder or tyre buffer(?) Its going to take a day or two. (Read weeks!) Ps I run through a 5 amp genuine battery in minutes stripping heavy underseal - or overheat the battery. So I have at least 6 batteries on rotation for heavy work.
Nothing beats a quality wire cup wheel on an M18 angle grinder for stripping old rubberised underseal from a car. Anything else is going to struggle. If you really want to use 2 inch wire wheels (not cup wheels but wheels) then a variable speed mains powered drill is your best bet for large areas to cover.
But again, I am not quite sure what specific problem you wish to solve. But for me it's an angle grinder as first choice.
Roloc brushes are going to be a very expensive and slow way to work on a car's underbody. They are not for that type of work. They are intended for gasket removal and surface preparation but any experienced mechanic won't use them on critical surfaces like engine gasket mating faces either.

There's very little/no underseal.
I'm just taking off bits of surface rust prior to fixing.
It's a Landcruiser Amazon so lots of books/crannies.
I'm using a 4.5in mains powered angry grinder for the bulk of the work, but there's certain areas (usually on top of the chassis, near body mounts) and around suspension parts.
