reads90 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Anyone know what this beast is ? i saw it at felthams the other day ,apparently its a factory six wheel drive destined for either australia or africa after they have fitted the 300 tdi Seen quite a few of these here in Australia. Althoguh in a hell of alot better condition . In fact there is one that lives around the corner from me . More of a 130 crew cab with 6 wheels. Done so that can carry more weight in the back . Were used alot in the gold mines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Tonkin Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 It's a Perentie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 no it's not, Perentie 130's are around 6 inches wider than a normal 110 & have a different chassis. looks like a bitsa 4 door 130 6wheel 150 inch wheelbase to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush65 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Your right its not a perentieThis is a perentie I could be wrong, but I think that is a Parakeet - comms vehicle. Similar base to 6x6 perentie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Tonkin Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Your right its not a perentieThis is a perentie I jumped in on that because I read too much into the word Australia! Of cause why would you send a 6x6 to Australia when they made them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 IIRC Perentie was the name given to the wider 130 6 wheel chassis for the Aussie army vehicles, there were/are workshop & ambulance & troop/cargo carrying dropside bodies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
