    Dont say I dont give you the heads up on things... P&P Might be an Issue

    FOR sale:
    For sale, one colour only
    12,000 Army vehicles, full logbooks, well maintained, some slightly war-soiled but otherwise in good order.

    The Government will conduct the biggest sale of surplus military vehicles since the end of World War II when it offers more than 3000 Land Rovers, 2500 trailers and thousands of other army trucks including Unimogs, tankers and cranes.

    Many of the 118 vehicle types have been to East Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq. Some will be preserved in museums, but most will be sold.

    Government bean-counters are not sure how to handle such a massive sale so the Government has asked industry for ideas to provide maximum returns for taxpayers.

    They are worth tens of millions of dollars, but will not be sold individually or in small lots.

    The ideal outcome would be for a large company to buy them in bulk, refurbish them and sell them.

    They will be demilitarised, and hostile countries will be banned from buying them.
