news Norwegian army still selling off ww2 equipment.

[martylee]

At a auction at Hovemoen, Lillehammer there's several ww2 on the list. Items such as GMC, Jeep and a couple of Dodge engines. Various item for weasel also. Axle for Dodge. You gotta wonder from what closet the army dragged these items, and are there any more? :-)

 

Other items are somewhat newer and looks like civil defense equipment like fire hoses and pumps. Even a few Polaris Bigboss, but these are sold only to dealers that will sell them outside Norway.

Some interesting items, 3 big Mercedes Benz wreckers, a bunch of BV 206s which are nice as they are the 6 cylinder Mercedes diesel versions.

 

A bunch of Lynx snow machines, a nice BV206 power pack lifting frame item 297.

 

What is the vehicle in the background of this photo? I have searched all the lots but found nothing.

It looks like a late 1940's B31 or B33

The reason these wartime items show up might be that the national defense museum is getting rid of surplus items.
