Perentie FFR 3 seater on compliance plate

[DazzaTD5]

Just finished prepping a Perentie FFR for roadworthy.
On the compliance plate its a 3 seater.
To pass roadworthy I had to fit a "standard Land Rover Defender" centre seat with seat belts.
Luckily I just happened to have a spare sitting around.

Odd, it looks nothing different from any other Perentie GS or FFR I have had in, no mounts anywhere to suggest its ever had three seats.
I think maybe it was a JRA stuff up.

the ffr had seats in the rear for the sigs.....maybe it was 1 , I can't remember.

My own Perentie is a FFR and like so many others its only plated as a 2 seater

Looks like you got lucky! There are a lot of Perentie owners out there who would love to have that compliance plate.

Could well be a stuff up.
I had a Twin Cam escort that had a compliance plate that said Capri even though all numbers for a shell and engine etc matched a Twin Cam Escort.

I wish, it was a customers Perentie and once it passed roadworthy we removed the seat as he didnt want it.

But yes, myself it would have been awesome if my own Perentie was plated as a 3 seater. I fitted a centre seat with seatbelts just for the convenience of 3 seats for that short run to and back from somewhere.

I'm gunna take a stab in the dark and say that compliance was retro fitted by the previous owner and not by the army, but for confirmation you just go to Perentie owners Australia, or Land Rover Perentie owners on facebook, lots people on there who'll, hell if you give them the ARN, they'll give you the history of the car, like they did mine, or if the service book is in the car you can look yourself, that should tell you if it started out as a 2 or 3 seater.

Qld TMR had on record how many seats my FFR was originally complianced plated for, even though the plate was blank for stated seating capacity. I did a wagon conversion and eventually had it engineer approved for 5 seats.

It honestly was nothing more than a passing interest.

The compliance plate was untampered, its number matched the vin number on the chassis, there was no additional mod plate.
