The "1 Ton" model Land Rover was a production model from the Australian Military series 2a,the raised chassis was designed and tested at Monengetta in Vic by ADE,then was specified for the Australian built military 2a (which carried a standard 4cyl chassis number) which was destined for use in South Vietnam (in the undeclared war over there),this raised chassis practice was carried over to the military Series 3 but that vehicle was not as successful with the 6cyl, as the 4cyl 2/2a's.
Sorry mate you got me confused
The above specs are not for The Land Rover Perentie:confused:

I was answering Garycol's post number 35 on page 4 IIRC
SORRY my bad:o
The English production 1 ton was a copy of the Australian military 2a,from memory 3 chassis were sent to UK in about 1963 or 64 :)
The chassis developed for the Australian Army 2a was used almost unchanged in the One Ton, but the Australian Army ones did not have the ENV diffs, or the constant mesh low range transfer case, or the 9.00 x16 tyres (although they were considered as a possible fitment), or the lower ratio steering.
