Very few were released here intact , very soon they were being cut in half to prevent them being used as vehicles , but people were still buying them and welding them together , then the next step the government told the military to X cut the bodies and buyers still bought enough pieces and welded them together , the final outcome was they removed the drive line and crush the bodies with either a bulldozer or a M88 tank recovery vehicle . I dont know how people got them registered Legally to put them on the road. I have driven them and as long as you dont try anything stupid they are a nice vehicle .
The result the engines and transmissions are cheap as chips or they were and most of the rest of the 151 was available as nos parts , but the bodies were very hard to find.
