Looking for JRA blueprint (SAS version)

[Mohoender]

Thanks for that last explanation. What you said about the model built especially for SAS made perfect sense. However, what wasn't clear was what JRA stated about "Perentie". I had understood that "Perentie" refered to the SAS model outside the other models. Still, I love that beastie and in my game it will see action with all kinds of SAS (not only Australians).

Obviously I misunderstood them.

The perentie is a large variety of goanna (a monitor lizard) found in Australia. That is what the vehicle is named after.

Perentie refers to the entire project (i.e. Project Perentie) to supply vehicles to replace the Series III LandRovers that the Army was using. The project covered 4x4 as well as 6x6 LandRovers.
The SASR vehicles are just called Long Range Patrol Vehicles but people here often call any LandRover from this project a Perentie so that confuses the matter.

Here are some pages about the vehicles

The 6x6 is one of the smoothest rides I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
I'd thrown my back out on exercise back in '94 and after being restricted to a stretcher for two days (with massages, etc every few hours from the very attractive women back in battlion HQ :P), I was put into the passenger seat of the armourers 6x6 for a move cross country. An few hours later and having travelled just some 30-40km, I had barely felt so much as a twinge - hurt more just trying to roll over in bed!
The ambulance that had collected me from the field had been a rougher ride!
