The Land Rover Perentie is the nickname of the Land Rover 110 built by JRA Limited for the Australian Army and part manufactured and assembled at Moorebank in New South Wales during the 1980s and 1990s. It was based on the Defender 110 and introduced in 1987 to replace the ageing Series 2A and 3 Land Rovers, with two build contracts, the first in 1988 and the second a decade later. It came in 4x4 and 6x6 forms with an Isuzu 3.9 litre four cylinder diesel, a relocated spare wheel and a galvanised chassis, and the name comes from Project Perentie, the army trial it won, named after Australia's largest goanna lizard. Perenties served in Somalia, Timor Leste, the Solomon Islands, Iraq and Afghanistan before being replaced by Mercedes-Benz G-Wagens from 2013.
