Thread: Army vehicle disposal

Hi all,
Where do you find out when the next auctions in Adelaide will be held?

I assume they will have a few over next couple years??

Welcome to the forum.
Keep your eye on Greys or this thread.

Thanks

Am now living in the US at moment but having spent 11 years in the army starting as an army "appy" and driving around in both Perenties and "Mogs" during that time a Perentie modded up to tow my Xtrk Ultimate Camper to some spots that I was reluctant to push the 150 Prado sounds a plan for when I get back...........
So may have to do a remote "buy".

Vgpacer70,good to see another Appy on here.I will be going to the next Adelaide auctions to have a look at whats on offer(looking at complimenting my 2a Wksp rover).If you want I can also have a look at anything that interests you.Cheers Hallsy 38th EF.

There are a few of us about 43FnT

Is there anybody going to Minto in the next couple of days that could check out a service book for me?
I've chucked a bid down & would like to know if mileage is genuine.
Thanks
David

Is there a market for the 24v alternator? The 4 olympic tyres are near brand new should I save them , sell them or run them out? The 2 batteries in the rear seem buggered but once I change it all to 12v I will get new ones. There is a slight fuel leak dripping from somewhere near injector pump and landing on front diff - any ideas? Thanks in advance. Seeya. Paul.

It has that name as it was destined to be a staff car for the big brass, Brigadeers and such.
If you keep it close to standard you will have an appreciating asset!
Or at least keep the standard parts in storage.
Either way, there is a health market for those who wish to sell their ex-mil bits. Whatever you do, I urge you to join the Register of Ex-Military Land Rovers (remlr.com)
Many are members here also, I am one.
there is a wealth of archive material and you won't be razzed for modifying your vehicle if you choose.

Found my answer..
Speedo has been replaced twice
Now this raises another question. Do they add the klms from the "new" speedo to the original mileage in the book?. It seems that they did this for a while, then forgot?
I have to admit being confused. pics added with ARN blanked out as I might still bid
