    Don't laugh - this is (almost) exactly what Laurence Hartnett did in 1928 as sales manager for GM Sweden; chartered a disposals German battleship, and used it as an icebreaker to deliver a shipment of new GM cars to Finland before the ice on the Baltic thawed, thus stealing a march on competitors.

    Theres nothing new coming out from the MOD, all same same, very few Land Rovers, as there keeping them longer, pleanty of spares, and loads pf Plant ex Reserve stock, i was there in November the place is full of kit.

    There even storing brand new trucks/plant for the MOD, that i was told may not get used and will just be sold on, this happens alot they were saying.

    got to love the "ship" section! 26000 for a nice size bout that could so easily be made into a liveaboard dive boat! if these are regular events, I will definately be keeping an eye out in the future for one of those RIBs too...

    These auctions are held about once a month.

    Withams have a government contract to sell MOD kit off. There used to be a couple of places which did this however as an efficiency measure the government changed to only one place with a contract which runs for a few years. What actually appears at the auction varies each time.

    10 years ago there were paddocks full of series 3 Land-Rovers which took years to clear.
