Don't they have people on site who can give a pink, blue, mauve or whatever coloured slip you want?

Normally sold as is where is and that is not ready for registration. It will be good if they are but I doubt it.

Is that a tongue in your cheek there Mick_Marsh?

I remember reading it somewhere.

Ah. Here it is.
"About 1000 will go each year and many of them will be sold with a blue slip for registration and be ready for work."

Australian Defence Force to sell off thousands of vehicles and other war equipment | News.com.au

I noticed the 110 in the pic is already on nsw plates, if that's anything to go by.

will any be sold in VIC?

I just left a VM for Kevin - the guy listed on the Gray's auction page - to ask some questions about the 110's. Mostly stuff that will apply to all the vehicles though, like how many will be on sale, when, over what period, is there a full catalogue, when can I view other vehicles from the catalogue, etc.....

I'll post anything useful...

AFAIK they never used the converter dollies behind either the Mack R series or Fleetliner platform trucks.

some were, but only to permit the use of smaller vehicles to move full size trailers, not for general road use.

The Mack's are capable of hauling the semi trailers on a dolly converter, it just wasnt the done thing.

The most common places to see it done was in a terminal area a repair agency or during recovery work where the trailer was the crock.
