Thread: Army vehicle disposal

I wonder how much they will cost per unit once decked out.

Hey people,

I was looking into buying an Army Defender at greys online or something like that. Just wondering if anyones done this and if there's anything I should be aware of? Like getting rego or needing to get a blue plate etc?

Just sold my Volkswagen Thing and I've always wanted an ex-Army Defender!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Have a browse through here:

and buy one of these:

Most of the mil LRs presently being sold aren't actually Defenders but they look similar.

Read the coil sprung military vehicle section in the pinnacles for lots of detailed info.

I thought that all the Defenders had been sold off early in the auction process and it was only the Perenties (110 variants and 6x6) that were still being sold.

Yep. You're right. They were sold through Manheim.
Judging from where the OP was posted, I assumed the author didn't know the difference between a 110 and Defender.

There is or was an ex-mil Defender for sale in the western burbs of Melbourne. Brooklyn I think. Car yard on Geelong Road.

So the Parenties aren't Land Rovers? I had no idea! I better do some serious research
