Good point on the best stock at the start... highly possible. Also agree that some of the vehicles might be minimal, but I'm looking at a 110. I'm guessing a fair few of them? Although I'm unsure how many will be hardtops...

Can just picture some of the henpecked 'winners' when SWMBO alights from her first ride, with a 'WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN US INTO???"

Cheers

lol good point, but now that I've seen them I'm impatient and want one NOW.

Some one has too much time on their hands and round the numbers down a bit for attrition.

Ummmmm

Department Of Defence - Defence Disposal Agency

It says in there that the army is disposing of the vehicles between 2012-2020, so that might also indicate that not all of them have been contracted out for private sale yet?

Yep. They'll be disposing of them as they become available.
Have they got all their G wagens in service yet?
When do they get their Hawkeyes?

Waiting to be trucked out of Darwin:

There will be a lot of interest in those eleven vehicles.

^^ Agreed. I'm one of them... and I bet there's more than 11 of us interested! The 38 below it are also good though. The same but without a winch from what I understand. I'd be happy with one of those too. But still... that's not very many!
