Anybody out there know if I can still purchase a new 100,000 btu gas conventional flue boiler suitable for gravity hot water and pumped heating.

I doubt that there are ANY boilers suitable for gravity hot water still available.
Its a bit like asking for a Morris Minor with 803 cc side valve engine !
Everyone reading this will wonder just why you want an inefficient and totally outdated style of boiler.

Not legally in this country, but some cowboy may be able to arrange something.
Question is indeed: why on earth would you want to?

I guess thats a no then, suppose I'll have to get new thermals and a bigger kettle.
Come on Tony, live a little; a few bop more gets you a nice 35-ish kw so you can have a nice shower.
He has a heat only boiler with a gravity primary.
Probably only adsorbs about 4 kW at the moment but with a pumped primary that heat input might be doubled to say 8 kW if its not too badly scaled up. The 24 kW boiler will be modded to minimum but on all the time and quite efficient at that power level.
Now a 35 kW boiler would be seriously cycling and be off much of the time and the heat input to the cylinder might be even less.

Been told I got a one pipe system, to change that I will have to decorate the whole house. Any chance a condensing combi will work.
There is literally a chance that it will work, but bigger chance you will need adjustments.
Personally, I am not a great fan of steamers on one-pipe systems, but others think it is fine.
Cleaning the system properly might prove to be a bit of a job.
Finding a good installer will be your key issue, as it will be easy to botch it.
