    A.W.O.L.

    I live in Murwillumbah you guys who follow the frontline machinery auctions will have seen a guy from here buying perenties like they were going out of fashion .Well he bought 48 all up to set up a tour and hire company he bought a stack of trailers and a couple of busses as well.Looks like he tried to get big to quick as he has gone bust and the receivers have carted it all away so looks like another big auction coming up soon just thought I would let you all know that bit of info .I also notice since he don't buy any more stuff the prices have dropped a bit. The name of the company was Go A.W.O.L looks like the went A.W.O.L. Cheers from Bushy

    I saw a post on remlr forum, I think the receiver auction has already been. Finished the 16th of April if I remember correctly. Although some said not all perenties were auctioned off so there may still be some on the way.

    G 'day Bushie and Ashley.
    Yes they did go bust, but it is a complex story.
    Only 2 vehicles were sold. They need a but of work. There are a number of good vehicles sitting in the yard at Grays online in Brisbane. That is were they will be sold.
    Oh, Tom wasn't pushing the prices up. His purchases accounted for about .5% of sales to date. Hardly cornering the market.
    The last round was fairly poor quality, hence some low prices. Many actually went higher than normal due to low availability.
    Cheers, BDave.

    Well it was an Auction, Highest Bidder Wins.

    Wait for the people who bought the seats from AWOL, you may find them selling higher than when first sold.

    Just doing a rough calculation on that figure, Dave - does this mean that AFM are "about" halfway through the LR fleet disposal ?

    I note that the Army operated LRs at the Sydney Anzac Day all looked pretty schmick - I don't suppose they would keep a few good ones for such ceremonial work ?
    But that job couldn't be done with GWagens (open top carriage of veterans).

    I called Gray's this morning, and was told there will be around 50 being auctioned in Brisbane. He couldn't give me an accurate timeframe, but said they will be heavily advertised and available somewhere between 2 weeks and 2 months. I was also told there are a handful with complianced rear seating.

    87- that was a rough guestimation on my part. another guestimation is that the fleet is ~3/5s the way through. The process looks to be at least the forecast 5yrs length.
    Some spares suppliers have had ?nteresting' purchases in recent months from Defence. It would indicate that some variants that do not, as yet, have G replacements may be in service for a while yet!
    Ashley and others NOTE; The rear seats are 'engineered' for NSW. If registering in Qld, you may need another inspection and a Blue Mod plate.
    Cheers, BDave.
