Fred who?

Im after an ADR approved conversion, particularly interested in the contact details of the engineering company that does it.

Fred Smith at Bayswater ( I assume)

There is a mob in Geelong who have been doing them for years- mostly Toyota's . Much easier if its a tray body.

Wyee Bush Fire Brigade have a sixby Defender (I don't think its a Perentie, track is same front and rear and body is standard width)
Have a look on the AULRO facebook page, the photo was posted by Jason Hewitt, he might be able to get you more info...

Fred Smith. He has got one and should be able to tell you where and who he got it from.

I suspect it is a 110 6x6 not a Defender. These were manufactured at the same time as the Perentie 6x6 and are mechanically and structurally similar but retain the same track and body width as the 4x4 110, and have the standard 110 cab (only body style was cab/chassis or trayback). Most were sold to mining companies and have long since been run into the ground, although a few still are seen about. If they appear on the market, prices tend to be ridiculous.

I think less than a thousand were sold from about 1984-1989.

Hi John,

This is Jason Hewitt's photo of the vehicle. The dual cab made me think it was a modified 130, but now I look closer, the inner axle appears to be in the 110 position.
Jason says it is constant 4wd with the third axle engageable when needed, which fits with the civillian 110 6x6.
