Ex Military 110 Perentie:Angry Anderson:In transit to Bordertown SA-heads up....

[29dinosaur]

Not sure where to post this....

Just saw one of the ex-Army 110 Isuzu Countys that were at recent auctions stopped here at Mittagong so I thought I'd take a look. Turns out the local National Party candidate from Bordertown SA had purchased it to be used in the Nationals 'defence' campaign for federal election and his mate was driving it back from Sydney to Bordertown for him. (Nice long trip...) There was a bit of a pow wow of National Party members around the County including our local Nationals candidate Angry Anderson ..... so I joined in.... Made some mates , so we're all going for a short trip locally tomorrow am.

Just a heads up if there are any problems with the 110 along the way in the next few days, I have a contact number and may drop a forum post if needed for any local AULROers in the vicinity......

Oh - vehicle looked in great shape!

A "RIPPER" Candidate.
Hope you all have a great time.

We'll just do a bit of a photo shoot at the powerlines track (which if you know it, has been effectively closed off by some very large boulders, but there is still enough to play around..) Weather was glorious today - hope so for the morning..

[mudmouse]

I've met Angry - he's a really decent bloke, a great Aussie.

I hope we are not using AULRO to make a political statement, or promote a political candidate? Bob

[29dinosaur]

No. AULRO no. But if someone wants to use a 110 that's their choice. My concern was that if someone need help in the event of land rover foibles then there is a friendly community to help. Cheers.

Snip....



No. AULRO no. But if someone wants to use a county that's their choice.

BTW. It's not a County, it's a 110.
The County desination relates to the trim level.
You could get a SIII County and a Defender County as well as a 110 County.

As always I'm a novice..... I wasn't sure how to describe them. ...

And in the US of A, a Range Rover County, AFAIK... ;)
Hope you have a good day tomorrow 29Dino!

Hope to put up some photos....

All good,
110s are often referred to as Counties in Australia as we never got SIII or Defender Counties here, and almost all the 110s were Counties.

The Australian army 110s are different in many ways to civilian 110s and were developed and built as part of Project Perentie (named after a large lizard), and are often referred to as "Perenties"

Tony

P.S.
Not sure of the spelling. I assume the name County comes from the parcel of land, and the plural would be Counties not Countys.
Hopefully Ron or one of the other more learned will be along and help me out:D

In my 60+ years, I have never seen a 'Range Rover County' or a '110
County'.

ex-Army 1988 110 - registered yesterday joining his civilian brothers early morning powerlines... wow what a glorious morning at 700am! (Pity about the powerline staunchion but that's what happens when you do a powerline track...). I think the 110 enjoyed the outing and showed he can mix it with the rest!

Bob,

Still haven't seen any. You gotta remember that us Yanks have got only
P38's and mk3's over here and maybe a couple of Disco's and Ejokes.
real square Landies are made of unobtainium.
Test drove a 1973 series(?), new from the dealer. wish I had bought it.
You blokes get all the good toys, along with the Brits.:mad:

[UncleHo]

G'day Folks

Those Ex-Army 110's are commonly referred to as Perentie's the same as the bigger 6x6 's are,there are about 2500 to be sold off over the next 5 years or so, there is already one in S.A. That is owned by Ellard,which he got a couple of months ago,but it is a rather special one.


The 6x6's have the turbo Izusu 4BD1 motor while the 4x4's have the normally aspirated version,all with the LT95,4speed transmission well LT95A unit which is slightly strengthened.




cheers

[UncleHo]

G'day 42rangie

There are a lot more to come,and they were built in 1987/8 so that may allow you to import one,stripped down with canopy,frames and windscreen off it is only as high as the firewall posts,and that all packs in the rear body,they have discs up front and drum rear,and are standard coiler Land Rover except the Izusu donk,which came from the 4/6 ton truck.


Worth a thought,and there would possibly be some helpful person on here that could assist you.


cheers

[29dinosaur]

Thanks UH. (I hadn't used the Perentie title because I thought it only covered the 6wd version). This truck was in fantastic condition! $10K from my understanding.

[THE BOOGER]

From the factory the 4x4 came with 110 badges on the bonnet and I think rear they were later sprayed over inservice at LRA we just called them 110,s:)

[29dinosaur]

Well Jamie is back on the road delivering his mates 110 'new' Perentie. I think he'll be heading down the Hume to Albury and then take some route across to Bordertown SA. The truck looks in good nick. If there are problems I've told him to ring me and I'll get AULRO community to help. Jamie's not a current Landy man - his grandfather had them on the farm.... but he doesn't have a clue about them... He's just the courier, But he's enjoyed some fun today. Give him a wave when you see him pass!

[JamesB71]

I would absolutely love one of those ex army defenders. If anyone doesnt mind, how much do they go for and do they come up often?

[THE BOOGER]

james there are plenty of them to go around this mob have the contract and are selling through grays online

Home | Australian Frontline Machinery (http://australianfrontlinemachinery.com/)

depending on how good you want the range from about $7000.00 upwards with a blue slip:)

[29dinosaur]

I'm led to believe this one went for near on $10k after starting about 7k.

[UncleHo]

Could have been a good low milage unit,or an FFR ;)

Hi all,

The Landrover has arrived home and has joined its trailer and both are now civi registered. I took it for a drive on the weekend and we took some photos with my defender. I've attached a couple below. It runs beautifully, very tight to drive, was much better than I expected actually, asides from a dent in the right hand door column its pretty well damage free and I couldn't find any rust in the usual spots.

The new owner had a couple of questions he's asked me to pass on, firstly, what is the little drum in the third photo that points to the rear diff? and secondly, how hard would it be to obtain the bonnet tools?

Did you have to get an ignition barrel etc for it to be registered?

little drum, are you referring the the light? the diff is painted white so the cars following when using the reduces lighting can see you

[jplambs]

Hi Dino,

No, the original ignition is still intact. Weeds; cheers, thought it might have been that, I wasn't in suitable clothing to get underneath and have a close look when I took the photo.

64316Ran into the 110 and no. 5 today, Had the candidate and his son and a former meber of parliament on the side of the road and as I drove past I got what I would describe as an almighty land rover wave!! :)

Went back and had a quick chat, nice people, nice bloke and spoke some good sense but was happy to talk landies and ex mil stuff as well.

Its a very nice unit only rebuilt shortly before sale so it is indeed like new, everything fixed, new bonnet, new g/box unit (I assume that inc t/case?) and a page of multiple entry per line small type modifications, repairs, or replacements. Answered questions about the no. 5, I like the way he has utilised the hood bow in situ so that he hasnt drilled holes etc in the no. 5 for the campaign.

Nice car. nice people. I had to go as I was headed to Loxton North for my sons footy (at arctic park!!! :) ) and wouldve been late if I stayed longer.

Sorry the photo is out of focus, I didnt realise Id fluffed it until I got home later.. its a new camera and too smart for me :(

He seems to genuinely like the landy and trailer and I reckon it suits him.
(he knows the trailer ARN and the 110's ARN also)

Cheers
