Poptopshed Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Latest tender list is now out. http://www.witham-sv.com/tender/lots.php Piggy bank is looking worried! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I can see that last release 101 easily exceeding the guide price unless it's a real crock! Interesting to see some FV432's in this time as well. I thought I read somewhere that there wouldn't be any more armoured vehicles released for some years. Suppose I'll have to go and have a look for a potential Christmas present for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 All these 432s are Mk 1s. I think most of these vehicles have been sat around for quite a while somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 How do you know they're Mk1's? Have you had a sneak preview? Didn't see any about last time I was there. Guide price of £2000 is about scrap value I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I saw the advert in Military Machines a few weeks ago. £2000 is a low guide price, they always had the Mk 2s at £3500 or more. I suspect they'll be pretty horrible.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Looks like they've used it as a training aid, maybe for crane operators to practice with. I bet it's been dropped a few times! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris My old 101 had been used as a helicopter lift/drop training vehicle (as well as an airfield hack). The history and condition of the vehicle confirmed this.

snowtracdave Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Just got home . Was almost snowing up there in the frozen north this morning (soft southerner here obviously). The Stalwart seats look good Neil , bit dusty but still got the plastic wrapping on . 432's & Saracens were very sad though . Didn't buy anything ..........well.......have to wait and see I guess . :whistle: DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 The On-Site Inspection Agency's Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe have minimum requirements for the destruction of AFVs of various types & aircraft. However there is an exception in the form of "The Procedure for Reduction by means of Static Display" where one of the requirements is "to have their engine compartment filled with concrete or a polymer resin". So maybe this 432 was selected for this treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recollect preparing a captured 2S1 SP gun from the first Gulf War for a local barracks, and once driven on to the plinth, it was to have the ready mix treatment.

Richard Richard, I have here a copy of the treaty. It makes interesting reading although it is rather wordy, not forgetting half of it is in Russian. In Article III there are certain exclusions to destruction: In process of manufacture, including testing Exclusively for R&D Belong to historical collections Awaiting disposal, having been decommissioned Awaiting export or refurbishment for export APCs held & used by organisations for IS duties In transit for no more than 7 days to an area outside the treaty Section X covers the procedure for reduction by means of static display, which I note should not exceed 1% of total Section X covers "Procedure by means of static display" which amongs other things includes the concrete. I remember seeing about 6 Ferrets, including some Malayan ones, at Boscombe Down, these were filled up with concrete. They were said to be to provide heavy loads for aircraft & drops etc Section VIII provides for conversion to non-military purposes: GP prime movers Bulldozers Fire fighting vehicles Cranes Power unit vehicles Mineral crushing vehicles Quarry vehicles Rescue vehicles Casualty evacuation vehicles Oil rig vehicles Oil & chemical spill cleaning vehicles Tracked ice breaking prime movers Environmental vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
