Thread: SAS special forces LandRovers.

Mick, I have been told from 3 different areas, including AMSO, that the LRPVs will not be released for sale. Potentially a limited number will go to museums.
It is a policy decision,I expect, to prevent them taking into the 'wrong' hands and tarnishing the rep of the operators.
The Cdo LRPVs ARE the SASR vehicles. The regiment kept a couple for their museum and training and the rest came east last year.

Where did you hear no SASR 6x6 Landrovers will be sold to the public?
I wonder where they will be sold to.

I had to pick up some vehicles (Mogs) from the Bulimba depot in Brisbane and spoke to a WO2 there. The yard at the time was staked full of One Tens and I asked why. He said they were off to auction. I asked about the SASR veriant (there where none there in the yard) and he said they were going to storage in Bandiana. Some were going to selected sites (no idea what) but he stressed that none were to be sold to the public.

Maybe to be kept on hold for future deployments. G-wagon is non deployable. The SAS need something to get around in.

Yeah, although the LRPV isn't the most suited vehicle for current theatres.
Bushmaster ftw

No it's not, but they still need a "fast" attack vehicle lol. But they also have the Jackal...

Did they ever end up using the Jackal? I thought they just kind of shrugged at them and pinched the bushies

Nope, they use them. All I'll say is I've driven a 'Nary'. Last I heard we have around 30 of them.

Sasr Will most likely become targets for the firing range they have done it before
