Those landrovers being released will most likely be 4x4s and the 6x6s models will be a few years after that.
2013 will be a good year to buy a 4x4 ex army landy.
The govt wants money in the bank ASAP so the landies will go.
The problem is they have also stopped the spending on the replacement G Wagons.

Have they cancelled the contracts? Doesn't sound right to me!

More probably slowed down delivery and put off some payments till later

They weren't buying as many G wagons as Landrovers.
Only about 2,000 I think. Maybe less.
How many have they got?

Correct..........it is all about a treasurer trying to fudge the figures for a election and then the next mob to pick up the problems.
The company involved in the purchase of the army landies has to put the money up front before receiving the vehicles.
It appears to be going ahead.
4x4 landies should be for sale to the public in 2013.

LOOK WHAT TURNED UP AT WORK TODAY!!
Had a couple of army Mitsubishi canters in for service the other day, bit strange considering we are the Mercedes Benz & Freightliner dealer.... but I dont ask questions coz this sat outside my window when they came to drop off drivers to take the Canters back!


Not so strange at all after all Mercedes kept the truck and commercial vehicle division from their time of ownership of Mitsubishi.
