I have a friend who is in the classic car business - and believe it or not those sheds we used to batter up and down the plain are big business to certain buyers.

He is certain there are no disposal agencies that don't sell in bulk - whereas I am sure I have seen individual lots in the dim and distant past.

So - does anybody from the Dark arts of G4 know of a disposal agency that sells ex MOD Landrovers individually - or even point me to a website?

Thanks in anticipation.

The Land-rovers are bloody expensive mind I imagine the prices are inflated due to the off-roaders.

The usual MOD method for disposal of old and worn out vehcles is actually deploy them on Operatons.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so just going to necro this one.

I wondered if anyone would be kind enough to give an honest appraisal as to the quality of Landrovers on sale generally. Are they thrashed into an inch of their life or generally in good nick?

Common sense tells me it's more likely to be a bit of a lottery, but I'm keen to find out the general state of anything put out to pasture...

Basically if it was your money would you go to a commercial dealer or try a punt with the mob above?

If I remember the system correctly each vehicle has a pot of money to pay for it, including maintenance. Once this cash is used up they are flogged.

So you might get one that has just had a full refit and is just needing a new tire, or one that has been flogged to death and needs the whole hog.

No way to tell without seeing the vehicle, but there are definitely some great quality vehicles out there, along with some right pigs.
