    Australian Frontline Machinery (a division of Sell & Parker) the auctions are conducted at Graysonline.

    There's one for Land Rovers and trailers in Adelaide and another at Minto (Sydney) next week. Unreserved Ex-Military Land Rovers & Trailers - Adelaide & Unreserved Ex-Military Trucks Unimogs Land Rovers & Trailers - Minto

    Usually an auction or two each month. All on Graysonline.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    If you are interested in one I would advise you to go down to view them prior to Auction,pick out a couple that you like,ask to see the log books for the vehicle's ARN number 48-xxxx 49-xxxx or 50-xxxx,that will tell you what milage it has done and what repairs that were done to it,from a fuse replaced to a major rebuild well worth your time if you are serious

    On the same note I'm thinking of trying to pick up a military spec LT95 when the spare parts come up for sale. Can anyone give me an idea of when and how to get onto these?

    Gday Jock.
    Mate, the more I hear the worse it gets.
    As a minimum, major parts will not be released until the last rovers are disposed of.
    I have heard many stories of ces and wheels being cut up for scrap.
    Don't hold your breath.
    Cheers, BDave.

    The stuff that gets cut up is the U/S stuff.

    Do a search in this section and you'll find one or two threads on previous auctions. It would seem that some dealers bought quite a few and then marked them up a lot, though no-one can work out why. Others have bought for themselves at the auctions and so paid much less. And be sure to add to those threads with any questions as the cranky mean old moderators here don't want any new "ex-army auction" etc.-type threads.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.
