Thread: Land Rover Perentie / Tasmania RWC

I can also get this through RWC in Vic if needed - am I going to be better off going down this route?

Cheers! Nick

Hi Nick!! That's different!! What are your plans for it??. Yes rego is a bit of a problem here with some places wanting you to actually cut all the portable lugs off the chassis etc... give me a call tomorrow? Can you send me pics to email? I don't get emails at home so can't see them until tomorrow.

Hi Justin!

Yes, decided on the Perentie platform for the overland trip, for simplicities sake, also some other reasons (very expensive to insure the 130 etc).

Have just sent across some emails, will call in the morning

Cheers! Nick

Excellent. I totally agree with the simplicity of the perentie in contrast to the puma....

A lot of work ahead getting her ready, but I feel much happier about this decision!

Why was it expensive to insure the 130 ?
Club 4x4 does me a great deal !

Hi Nick, I registered my Perentie here in Tasmania without problems, if you are still thinking about doing this please contact me and I will ask the shop that did mine if anything has changed.

Why are roadworthys hard in Tassie???? Isnt a Perentie considered a "fancy modern 4x4" way down there??

Sorry I wasn't clear - I'm doing an overland trip, and adequate insurance throughout the African continent is $$$ and very difficult.
