It gets shipped down to Melbourne next week.

No 48-623 the Snr Commander in Brisbane was the one I purchased. I think the last of the 11 Snr Commanders.

Hmmmm,I wonder if any of these vehicles will turn up at the Jeep Club Swap at Canungra this weekend??

UH, at this stage mine and Juddys RFSVs will be there hanging with the REMLR crowd so we should cross paths.

One of their customers bought one of the Canter Service trucks which will also have a drill rig installed.

We were notified by Email within 5 minutes of auction close.

We picked up the purchases this afternoon , extremely pleased. The No5 trailer has a brand new set of tyres.

That truck would make for an awesome camper conversion.
Very cool vehicle.

The body may well be for sale down the track. The owner, a company from down Wagga way, bought the 4wd Canter to install a drilling rig.

The tool boxes on the side are huge. It came with brand new Optima batteries, 12v air compressor, large inverter, ...... The rear is air conditioned from a stand alone unit.

The other guy (I.G from Mandurah WA) must have put on $10K or something as an auto bid

Haha! I just got a nice PM from the bloke who out bid me

Hi, does anybody know if they will start to sell off parts in the future? Paul

**Barefoot Dave** · 24th October 2013, 07:18 PM

Paul, there are dribs and drabs of oversupply items going to auction most weeks. nothing interesting.
The word is that most parts will remain in the ADF system until the last rovers are disposed of.
Some maintenance subcontractors are offloading there stocks but they are not flooding the market.

Many are waiting with baited breath.
