The 1989 Land Rover 110 Perentie 6x6 offered here is a rare and highly capable military-derived utility vehicle, originally built for the Australian Defence Force. One of just 970 examples produced, this right-hand-drive single cab truck was engineered for extreme durability and versatility, making it one of the most rugged Land Rovers ever built. Imported from Australia in 2022, this example has since benefitted from both cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment, ensuring it is ready for both collector display and serious off-road use. Finished in Land Rover?s modern Corris Grey following a 2023 repaint, this Perentie strikes a commanding presence while maintaining its utilitarian roots. The black interior complements the exterior finish, with recent updates including new floor mats and seat covers. Weatherstrips, mirrors, wheel flares, and numerous hardware pieces were also replaced to give the truck a fresher, more complete appearance without compromising its authenticity. The overall presentation is clean, rugged, and true to its military heritage. At the heart of this 6x6 is the legendary Isuzu 3.9L 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine, renowned for its reliability and torque delivery. Paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox, the drivetrain offers straightforward and dependable operation, ideal for heavy-duty work or expedition-style travel. This example features power steering and power brakes for added drivability, along with new injectors to keep the diesel running strong. 

The truck's 6-wheel-drive system, with high/low range and differential lock, remains fully functional, ensuring that this Perentie is as capable as it was when built. Mechanical improvements further enhance reliability and usability. A new fuel tank and new brake master cylinder have been installed, while many bushings and rubbers have been replaced throughout. The braking system benefits from discs front and rear, delivering solid stopping power even with the truck's size and weight. With just 8,500 kilometers shown on the odometer (TMU), the Perentie presents as a lightly used and well-preserved example of this rare military Land Rover. The truck rides on a set of new BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain LT255/85 KM3 tires, mounted to fresh wheelsan investment of nearly $2,500 on their own. These tires, paired with the 6x6 drivetrain and lifted stance, make the Perentie ideally suited to conquer rugged terrain, whether in desert, forest, or mountain environments. A functioning winch further adds to its utility, ready to assist in recovery or expedition scenarios. The combination of new hardware, refreshed components, and proven design ensures this vehicle remains as tough and dependable as ever. 

Overall, this 1989 Land Rover 110 Perentie 6x6 is a unique opportunity to own one of the rarest and most capable Land Rover derivatives ever produced. With its military pedigree, robust Isuzu diesel power, refreshed cosmetics, and recent mechanical renewals, it is both highly collectible and immensely usable. Whether added to a collection of military vehicles, deployed as an adventure-ready overlander, or enjoyed as a head-turning conversation piece, this Perentie delivers unmatched toughness and undeniable presence
