The project to produce the LRs for the Australian army was the Perentie
project. These are commonly called Perenties (BTW, a perentie is a large Australian lizard - second only in size to a Komodo Dragon - and they grow to about 2.5 metres long.). You'll note the front windscreens of the LRs are taller and the roofline is different.

The project started about the beginning of the 80s, with, I believe, the last deliveries in the early 1990s. The LRPV pictured is one of the types covered in the project. Basically they were :- 1. 4x4 one tonne GS and variants. This is basically a Landrover 110 soft top, but the chassis is modified and galvanised. Engine is the Isuzu 4BD1, a n/a 3.9l diesel (93BHP@3200), driving an LT95A gearbox. 2. 6x6 2tonne. This is an extensively modified 110. The chassis is special and is about a foot wider than the standard 110, as is the track. The third axle is driven by the PTO on the LT95 designed for the powered trailer on the 101. The prop shaft to it has a centre bearing on the top of the second axle, and the diff on the third axle is on the right. Diffs on the 6x6 are 4.7:1, and the two rear axles are Rover not Salisbury. Rear suspension is by interconnected leaf springs (standard S3) with the rocking beam connecting the springs allowing extreme articulation. Engine is the Isuzu 4BD1T (121BHP @ 3100), a turbocharged version of the engine fitted to the 4x4. The cab is wider and higher than on the 4x4. The major variants a- a) The LRPV pictured in your reference. b) General Service, with cab and flat top tray having a canvas top and side seats. c) Ambulance A 6x6 was sold to the civilian market in very limited quantities in the mid eighties. This was generally similar to the military version except that it had a standard width chassis and standard cab. It came only as cab/chassis, and although most had a tray body, I have seen at least one van body. All diesel 110s sold in Australia before the introduction of the Defender had the Isuzu engines, n/a in the 4x4 and the turbo in the 6x6. The 6x6 was available only with the diesel, although 4x4s were also sold as v8s. For further information do a search on "perentie" JD |
