110 6x6 Dual cab Perentie..

[iClick]

I just noticed this listing online: 1987 Land Rover 110 Perentie (http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Land-Rover-110-1987/SSE-AD-870453/?Cr=0)
Interesting vehicle, I've not seen a dual cab 6x6 before. I may have been interested in this a while ago. Personally, I reckon it's way over priced. :eek:

Too noisy, heavy steering, no aircon, slow.. but still there is an appeal for a family overland tourer ;)

The vehicle was originally a civy Perentie, current owner fitted the dual cab himself. I saw the vehicle a couple of years ago at Goondiwindi en route from WA to Northern QLD. As you said,a very impressive vehicle.

Cheers, Mick.

Considering the gear and km on it, I think it's bloody good value..

Not knowing much about Perenties, are they not all wider then? Thought they all had an extra 5 or 6 inches in the cab.. Are leaf springs std at the rear too? Cheers.

That's been for sale for a while now.

You could just about put the Rangie on the back for when it runs out of fuel hey Will? :angel:

The civilian 110 6x6 was standard width, and is not by any stretch correctly described as a Perentie, although it shares the same rear chassis, suspension and drive, and is an offshoot of the military contract. All of the Australian 6x6 Landrovers were leaf spring at the rear. They are quite rare - there were not all that many built, and most were sold to mining companies and driven into the ground and scrapped in a relatively short time. The only variants ex factory were the trayback and cab/chassis.

I would like to know more about the towing capacity of the later models, they show a GVM of 5.600 but no GCM.

I think this one was a civvy body put on a Perentie chassis.

Haha yeah exactly! Could do with a slight extension in its range...

Just glad I have a Td5 to DD!

Yep, concur with JDNSW. Every time I see it come up, I feel like giving him a serve for Mis-Representing it as a Perentie.

From the upcoming book (shameless plug)-


"So, by definition, Perentie refers to only those 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles supplied to the ADF for Trials or fulfilment of the subsequent Contracts under Project Perentie.
A ‘True’ Perentie Land Rover will have;
· a galvanised Chassis that is widened at the rear to carry a spare tyre between the chassis rails and
· an Identity Plate (or evidence of its removal) on the Passenger seat base referring to “Truck, Variant, Lightweight, MC2. Some even include ‘Perentie’.
6x6 will read: “Truck, Cargo, Light, MC2. and
· a LRA Australian Compliance Plate stating “Land Rover Military 4x4 or 6X6” and
· all coil spring suspension on the 4x4 and coil front, load sharing leaf springs rear on the6x6 and
· of course, a 4BD1 Isuzu 4 cylinder power plant (with turbo in the 6x6)."

Gone fishing, The only mention I can lay my hand on states the Cargo may tow a trailer weighing 1500kg.

I want it!

Easo, for the K$15 less, you could have a 3year old 'Tenix' rebuilt vehicle with Timor service and the wide cab and with less than 5000 kays on the clock! As new.
Not a DC, but considerably more valuable IMHO.
With the change you could kit it out to Limo standard.
