Army vehicle disposal

They had quite a lot of hard top FFW Landy 110's and soft top versions in Sydney and Brisbane. All seemed to be selling for very high prices. I did buy an 88 Moggy at a good price (probably the only one) but most Moggies were up around $17K -$21k. The transport operator said he had a contract to shift another 35 moggies and more Landy's to Sydney from Brisbane. Seems a bit strange since Grays have an auction centre in Brisbane one would think they would just shift them across the road from the Pinkenba base but Frontline Machinery are the primary contractors for the sales and Grays are just the auctioneers.

I'm told he will be stripping this one back to chassis & modifying to his requirements. I guess there will be a Ambo body up for grabs soon..

Yeah I had a look as well, no issues from what I could see. Should perform well.

He was on holidays & never even viewed it !!
Anybody looked it over?? seems a bit cheap, I will get to look it over next week.

Had a look also, in great condition, from memory there was a high pressure hose going to no where in the engine bay (or it could have been the other 6x6 as well !). Either way both the 6x6's at Melbourne went for good prices last week. attached are some photos I took.

I drove through Euroa (Vic) last week and there is a used machinery specialist there who has two of the 6x6 on his lot. One with no body on the rear and another of the missile variant. Is it just me or is the cab significantly bigger than a regular Land Rover? They seem enormous.

The sixby cab is significantly bigger than a standard Landy cab, but that means the gear stick is even further away from the driver!
