My Perentie arrived yesterday and how lucky am I.I had been bidding on the landys at Grays auction at Minto but got outbid on a couple I was having a go at. Never mind I switched over to the auction in Qld with only 5 mins to go so I didn't have much time to research any of them.So just a quick look and bid on the best looking one and I won it .

So it,s turned up a quick look over it and it,s looking better all the time new tyres nice upholstery all one Colorado body nice ant straight .Now a check of the log book has had all the upgrades done new motor and clutch 2 years ago all the drive train nice and tight seals all done .Now for a drive and a crack at a real steep off road hill it drove awesom.Now I have only owned series 2and3 landys and I can,t believe the difference the ride and suspension is fantastic .My daily ride is a new BT50 4x4 but the perentie rides better than the Mazda .I am one very happy Chappy Cheers Bushy

Well done Bush Animal. I know the feeling myself. They are awesome vehicles and after driving my Series III Stage One for 15 years, and it is a good Series, the difference between the 2 of them is incredible. Nice to hear you got one of the good ones. It is a lottery if you don't see them first before you buy so it looks likes you had a win. I think you will have to post in some pics mate. Looking forward to seeing them when you do.
Regards Warrick.

Well thanks guys there will be some pics when I can figure out how to post them on the site.Meanwhile I put it up on the hoist today to have a bit of a look underneath it,s just so clean just a small smear of oil under the gearbox I saw it has a new rear tail shaft still has the stickers on it also new trailing arms.Will get into it tomorrow with the water blaster while it is still on the hoist. Thanks guys cheers bushy
