Thanks everyone for your input. I do now have reasonable quotes from companies to move them on one load, two loads, and one load two journeys so it looks like we will be able to make it happen The 432s will be used for the weekend, with ride/drive experiences on offer, and will be used as moving props in a couple of our combat gaming events over the weekend of our Paintball & Combat Games Festival. We are still looking for some owner/drivers to come and be involved if anyone is interested. We are after.. Game Vehicles 2-3 Ex army land rovers / jeeps to be added to our fleet of on-game transport. We can pay expenses and a wage for driving them. Not looking for show condition vehicles for this - and not for the faint-hearted as you will be in the middle of a 1700+ player paintball game on the Sunday ! The vehicles are not "Targets" but will be used to ferry players or game control staff around the action so may pick up the odd (biodegradable) paint splats. We do have fire hydrant and hose available to clean off any splats the vehicles get. Display Vehicles Between festival goers, vendors, staff etc there will be over 2000 people on site. It is a great character filled environment - an active military training facility with a real cold war era feel to it. We would be pleased to hear from anyone with a vehicle(s)/display they would like to show off. We would provide a pair of free tickets to the festival which is a brilliant weekend for anyone into combat gaming / big boys toys ! and a suitable space in the festival area for your display. Its a Fri to Sun event, with a full program of entertainment and activities. Its the biggest event of its kind in Europe. Camping is included. There is Brilliant friendly vibe to the whole weekend, anyone who gets involved will have a great time When: 3-5 May 2013 Where: DTE (Defence Training Estate) Swynnerton ST15 0QN What: Check out the event at www.northvsouth.com or drop me a message if your interested to find out more

We will be finished with the vehicles on Sunday around 4pm so they could go back to Leicestershire on the Sunday night or anytime Monday BUT its a bank holiday weekend so we may be better/cheaper moving them back on the Tuesday?

Hi folks I need to arrange to move two FV432s from Leicestershire to Staffordshire (and back again) for a weekend event. We have one heavy haulage company who have told us they can do it but would need to use two transports each way which is rocketing the cost - Just wondered if any members here know someone who can quote to do the move with one vehicle? The FV432s are I believe around 15 tonnes each. Thanks, any help appreciated. Jim

Hi yes we have VERY full history files. It was deployed in Belfast during the troubles and has the "Barricade Remover" bullbars. I will get the mil registration anyway it would be interesting to see what comes up, thanks.

Hi Just joined the forum My company Warped Sports is the proud owner of a complete Humber Pig armoured car, and various part vehicles which we use as props on our paintball / laser combat site in Wolverhampton. Interested to hear from any Pig owners We also run an annual festival dedicated to paintball, other outdoor combat gaming, and big boys toys ! It is held at DTE (Defence Training Estate) Swynnerton in Staffs (next one 3-5 May 2013). We have tank rides and drives, and on game armour, vehicles and boats. I would be interested to hear from any military vehicle enthusiasts who would be interested to bring along their toys to display them or even get involved in the combat games. Its a great fun weekend with lots of trade stands, stalls, and two stages with full weekend entertainment program. Please check it out at www.northvsouth.com and please give me a shout if you think you would like to be involved or find out more Jim
