ruxy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't know if this has been already mentioned on HMVF http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/national/australian-defence-force-to-sell-off-thousands-of-vehicles-and-other-war-equipment/story-fncvk70o-1226565344839 Years spent off-road in the outback , I suppose it will be well thrashed ?

ferretfixer Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Interesting at the bottom where it states selling of Weapons. I wonder if any will find thier way onto the civvy Circuit, to end up as DEACTs?......... Pity they couldnt have done the same with the 7.62mm LMG's! There is a BIG demand from civillian collectors for them!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I can hear Richard Farrant thinking how one of those 6x6 Landrovers would make a great Service Vehicle for his business :idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juddy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It will be very Interesting to see what price these first off the lot land rovers sell for... The hard tops look very good, as do the blood boxes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Many thanks for sharing those super pictures. Lovely to see the vehicles individually rather all jammed up together like in a car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I can hear Richard Farrant thinking how one of those 6x6 Landrovers would make a great Service Vehicle for his business :idea: Tony, you must be a mind reader! My first encounter with the 6x6 version was in 1992 when i was in a team from our REME workshops to take part in a motor rally across Australia. We had the use of a GS version from the Royal Australian Engineers as a support vehicle for the rally, but first had to have an Australian army driving licence. I took the test through Sydney. The 6x6 has a higher driving position and wider cab, it was very good to drive. 3 years later I was on another event out there and there was army support, the RAEME had the mobile workshop version, similar to the ambulance in shape but with the side opening up. I was very taken with that one, but think they will be very sought after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
