Someone paid just over $11k for it.
Didn't see what the other incompletes went for.
Wonder if it would have been economical to purchase an incomplete FFR as well and wreck it for parts to put on the RFSV.
Different ROPS/ canopy I know, but it might make for a good "stealth" RFSV.
Mmm ... cheap RFSV.
There are heaps of differences if you want ot make a RFSV clone, info listed here:
L/R 110 4x4 Regional Force Surveilance Vehicle (RFSV)
If you want to make a superficial copy;
Start with an FFR with winch
Add Brush bars along wings and sills
Add spare tyre mounts to diagonal brace bars on ROPS
replace rear seats with side storage bins
Add 1988-1990 90'43lt fuel tank, brackets and fuel system under pax seat.
Foot vents. Izusutoo-eh has discovered some suitable units for sale at marine shops as scuppers!
2 x Dual jerry carriers
Split rims (ouch on the price) with Xtra grip High-miler tyres
boat racks if you must.
Have fun!
Cheers, BDave.

Hi BDave,
I was thinking more along the lines of restoring an incomplete RFSV, rather than upgrading an FFR. By scavenging generic parts from the donor FFR.
In the case of the April Minto RFSV, could you pull the original ROPS & hoops and replace with generic and canopy from an FFR?
Wizard
SubscriberYep, you could.
Personally I would keep the RFSV front hoop, it is much better than the FFR. The canopy will still fit, just not as snug.
If substituting then you may find some variation in the baseplate of the ROPS where it sits down in the tub: RFSV sits inside , FFR sits over.
All ROPS are individual fit so you might need to redrill/ clearence the holes.
Other than that, no dramas.
Cheers, BDave.

Yes it was not that bad but I had two people from grays saying the only option was refund. I was at there site. The damage happened after the first auction closed. So I was told they could not deliver it to me. I did not bid on it second time round.Well the auctions finished again today.
Interesting to note that the new 6x6 that sold to an Aulro member for $24,009 last auction that had a damaged door & was credited back, just sold again for $36,409. Must have been quite some repair

I suspect it wasn't a repair. They very probably just swapped the door with another vehicle.

Does anyone know who bought this RFSV (ARN): 51640 Land Rover 110, 4x4 Soft Top - 05/1991 Auction (0003-9001127) | GraysOnline Australia
Seems odd but I purchased 40 RFSV bull bars a few years ago and I have a odd left hand side bar, The above RFSV is missing one.
Surely not a match.. bull bars sold in Melbourne and RFSV sold in Perth.

Probably not bothered about the missing one , or the new owner might make one up. I know a lot of the perenties sold are having the mil stuff taken off.
ignition switches with 2 keys can be seen on ebay and seem simple to fit--I will let you know in a few days,as I will endeavour to fit one.

If anyone wants a good carrier for a Perentie, or Unimog to Melb from Minto, PM me & I will reply with this guys phone no. He was very professional & no fuss about bringing it into our small court, I was able to roll it straight into the drive. He subcontracted to the people I arranged delivery with.
