Thread: Military 110 sales?

Delivery of production Gwagens starts at the end of the year so maybe 12 to 18 months away yet, there will be a line-up waiting for them if they are not to expensive

PS the ones delivered early this year were preproduction for testing and training

This has been discussed here a number of times, but as far as I know there is no definite answer. Seeing that at least some of them have been very recently refurbished to new condition (this may still be happening), I suspect that at best it will be several years before any find their way into the auction rooms. And there is always the possibility that they may be "gifted" to some other country (e.g. East Timor), which could see the numbers making it onto the market greatly reduced.

In short, just because there are replacements starting to be delivered does not mean that there will automatically be Perenties coming onto the market - I expect that initially the Landrovers will be held in reserve.

If you do a search you will find several threads discussing this, but none have come up with the answer you are after.

life of type is now out to 2015.

I,ll be old and grey, hang on I,am already grey. So what do you think Dave, 6 years might be close

Cheers guys,

Yep, i did a search. As you say, plenty of speculation but the most recent posts I could find are from quite while ago. I was hoping for an update, if anyone out there actually knows something (and aren't sitting on the info until after they get themselves a good 110 ).

In the past they haven't held old vehicles or equipment in reserve for too long once replacements have been rolled out. Old equipment still requires maintenance, needs to be stored somewhere and upsets the bean counters come end of FY.

Hopefully they won't all go to Timor...

honestly who knows... they've extended the life of type so many times now its almost like it'll be around in the service when I'm in the grave.

I think you might start seeing the first ones in drips and drabs shortly but I wouldnt reccomend you buy one of those (unless your after it for components) as they will be the ones that are beyond economical repair.

theres not as many Gwagens coming in as rovers going out. All the rear ech units will probabley wind up with white fleet vehicles.

There's some Dejavue!!
When I wore a green uniform in the early 70-'s the talk was of Mini Mokes & Holden utes for anything but front line.

Does anyone have any insight into why Land Rover lost this contract?

Last i heard from the factory the PUMA has just been certified to EMP.
