Thread: Army vehicle disposal

Anyone bidding on the Minto RFSV?

... err, I mean the "cargo of interest".

I wonder what's wrong with it, aside from no canopy, rear ROPS, rear seat and missing a data plate.

Thanks Mick, i appreciate your concern. It is part of my business plan but I expected these in a couple of months, not this early.
I won't be doing anything silly, the bank won't let me

Carryall is the correct name for a 5 door station wagon, excluding the Senior Commander (FFR, With Winch). With Series 2, a carryall was a 3 door Troopy.

RFSV:
Tenix rebuild, prob 5-6 yrs ago, a bit knocked around since then.
Cracked and repaired main ROPS hoop
Unserviceable (US)- Both near-side tyres (prob out of date), 1 spare rim

Missing- Rear roll hoop, make pattern off middle hoop in larger dia pipe
Right foot vent
Canopy $1500 approx
Door tops
Driving lights
Torn seat
Air compressor
Fuse cover
Been stored for nearly 18months when the others were upgraded 'With Mission Kit' .
Cam net rack
Canopy sticks
Prob missing all of its' CES.

I'd also expect repaired chassis cracks near the rear suspension and cross members.

Well the auctions finished again today.
Interesting to note that the new 6x6 that sold to an Aulro member for $24,009 last auction that had a damaged door & was credited back, just sold again for $36,409. Must have been quite some repair

For the foot vents, do a search for scupper vents. Common on boats and caravans, I bought a pair from a ship chandler that are so near bang on for the RFSV ones that a lick of paint would make them perfect.

Someone paid just over $11k for it.

Didn't see what the other incompletes went for.

Wonder if it would have been economical to purchase an incomplete FFR as well and wreck it for parts to put on the RFSV.

Different ROPS/ canopy I know, but it might make for a good "stealth" RFSV.



Mmm ... cheap RFSV.

Tell me about it.

My internet died the last day of the latest auction. Anyone know what the Brisbane FFRs went for? In particular lots 8 9 &10.
Thanks, Howard
