1989 Land Rover Defender 110 4x4
1989 Land Rover Defender Description
Rare ex-Australian Army Land Rover Defender 110, project code name "Perentie". A rare opportunity for a piece of history and a very capable 4x4 vehicle
Comparable to a Land Rover Defender 110 but with the following extras as ordered standard by the Oz army:- Isuzu 3.9L, 4-cyl diesel (an extremely torquie and universal engine; easy to maintain)- LT95A 4-speed transmission (upgraded over the LT85)- Full-time 4WD with a central diff locker- Salisbury / GKN rear axle- Long travel, coil spring suspension on front and rear axles. Fully floating rear axle- Hot galvanized frame- Front bull bars and rear winch points- PTO winch- Roof rack- Jerry can holders and two rear tool pockets- 12V electrical- Blackout kit- Sweet ass camo paint job- Original service record from its time in the service, and all servicing after it was decommissioned- Full light, medium and heavy repair manuals / parts lists from the Army
As was described to me by the LR Australia Defense contact: these trucks were maintained without regard to cost. The Defence service record indicates its lifetime was spent in one unit, so it wasn't shopped around to different deployments to be abused. The only bothers are the few rattles from age. I've been 4WDing in other Perenties and they handled sand and the trail better than most trucks with over $30k of mods. Surprisingly fuel efficient (22-24mpg around town)
PLEASE NOTE:- The truck is currently in the US / Memphis with TN registration and titling- It is right hand drive- VIN:SALLDHAZ1FF395240
