Bonkers uplift day, anyone?
It's that or a Snatch Land Rover.
Yeah those desert landies look alright.
Must stop myself bidding on a snatch landrover.
Money to be made for someone local.
Bottom of the list there are some items that could fetch a decent price on ebay. If I lived close enough to inspect lots 826-829 I would be down there right now.
Even with the reserves placed on those items assuming good condition I reckon you could clear at least £750 by buying, cleaning up (adding straps to the watches) and flogging on ebay.
Should pay for some nice shiny bike bits 😉
oh no not whitham specialist vehicles !!!!!!!
i bought a lovely 110 FFR defender from them in 2004, only sold it last year for only 1k less than i had paid for it.
some fantastic deals but you have to visit before bidding IMHO
Those are just guide prices - you don't have to bid that much, but then someone may bid more.
Some fantastic looking items - projects galore 🙂
If only I had land/tools/expertise/time
is this a refrence to your hearing after driving it?[b]Titinus[/b] Refurb Soft top
Tempted to put a cheeky low bid on those ambulances...what's the worst that can happen?! 😕
[i]what's the worst that can happen[/i]
they accept the bid and you win 🙂
Anyone know what the rules are when it comes to driving an ambulance legally on the roads?
Would make a good bike transporter, plus it must have bed in the back!
as long as you remove the words 'ambulance' and the pretty blue lights you're ok. One of my neighbours had one years ago.
not sure how insurance companies view them, though 'modified vehicle' I guess?

£2,500 and this could be yours!!
Lots of Jaguar engines too. As fitted to Scorp tanks!
No Gazelles left though 🙁

£950. Seriously if I had money i'd have one haha!
My neighbour has a Ferrari California parked outside our house. I'm SERIOUSLY tempted to buy one of those beaten up armoured land rovers and park it next to the Ferrari 🙂
But then people would think - "cool - a ferrari owner with taste, respect!"
Skidoo anybody?

I [i]think[/i] maybe, as above, get rid of the blues and lettering then do the absolute minimum to get the dvla to register it as a camper van?Anyone know what the rules are when it comes to driving an ambulance legally on the roads?Would make a good bike transporter, plus it must have bed in the back!
Good point, should only really put the cheeky bid on one then; what's worse than ending up with one shagged out ambulance...5!they accept the bid and you win
Hmm, tempted to pop a very cheeky bid on those watches, even if most didn't work I think you could make some money.
I NEED one of those demountable workshops in my garden.
Hey Peterfile....park the Landie ON TOP OF the Ferrari!
there's some fun mistakes to be made on there!
Do you reckon that diesel 'go cart' is road legal??
DrP
It's got indicators and seat belts...is a windscreen compulsory on the road(and then wipers).
The 'snatch' Landies are in various states of disrepair but Withams say that a road legal but tidying to do one will be circa 2-2.5k, the cheaper ones are a bit knackered. We're having one for one of our sites to use as a runaround/player transport.
I do know a chap who has 3 FV432s for sale, 3k+VAT each, fully working. They were used for the Captain America film so are painted matte black. Road legal too...
Lot 822 looks useful, Silva Marching Compass.
Oh, just spotted, that's 100, just in case you lose a few.

Drop the blue lights, sirens and markings pretty sure including the battenburg as that's now part of recognised as Ambulance markings now. Each emergency service has their own markings.
Remove or cover the markings. I can hire liveried cop cars etc for films but the dealership that supplies them has to sticker over them for delivery so they usually arrive emblazoned with the words "managers special"
With the new modified regs, DVLA are usually only willing to issue a V5 with "motorhome" if it was built and first registered as such - i.e. home converters now get the description "van with windows" or something, god knows what an ex-MOD ambulance would be described as...

That's interesting, I was making assumptions based on a beefy ex-russian military truck conversion which was a few years ago.With the new modified regs, DVLA are usually only willing to issue a V5 with "motorhome" if it was built and first registered as such - i.e. home converters now get the description "van with windows"
I had a ride in one of those army Gazelles when i was in cadets. Was great, the pilot was some 20 something AAC guy. Came and landed on our playing fields and then took us up in batches and did some 'turning and burning' round the sky. Never forget looking out the side window pretty much straight down at one of the rugby pitches because we had so much bank on! After about 10 mins he says 'this is what we do if the engine fails' drops the throttle and we do a practice autorotate landing while dropping like a stone!!
fond memories..
I reckon Alex Salmond will be stocking up for his little army he's hoping for

I don't know how new the new regs are, but I got my T5 re-registered last year no problem. There is a list of stuff that has to be in place though (on board (fixed) water, hob, table and bed, windows in rear etc)
so a stretcher and a colostomy bag on a hook won't cut it 🙁on board (fixed) water, hob, table and bed, windows in rear etc
The armoured Jag XJ8 looks tasty

No rockets behind the headlamps or ejector seat though - so I'm out.
I just want a Bedford MJ. Possibly painted with pink and purple camo, but that's just details.

More information on those Snatch landies.
1) presumably all the "good" condition ones are pretty knackered...?
2) why are Snatch Land Rovers so called?
Good point. Something fishy going on methinks.konabunny - Member
2) why are Snatch Land Rovers so called?
the snatch is "protected patrol vehicle" basically an armoured defender 110, it was developed for use in NI around about 1991 i believe.
mainly for use in rural patrolling and providing some degree of small arms protection for occupants. it was supposed to have a small amount of protection from IED's and off-route mines, but as proved recently in afghan its useless against them.
it is believed to have inherited the nick name "snatch" from its preferred use by "snatch squads" when detaining suspects in "the troubles" in NI
repost sorry

Really like the look of these.

You won't really like the servicing and spares availability - especially brake servo's and tyres apparently.

anyone win anything?
Are these the winning bids?
http://www.mod-sales.com/information/27/Previous_Tender_Results.htm
Looks like I lost out by not much on that box of 100 Silva compasses!
Don't think so
The tender results [b]will be published on this section 2 weeks after the Tender has finished.[/b] The results will remain on the site for 2 weeks and will then be removed
I was going to stick a bid on an ambulance but forgot - probably for the best really.
Just got a phone call. I was successful in my bid for 100 Silva compasses.
What the F do I want 100 compasses for?!
😆 What was the damage? Ebay?
I think I bid £158.
Anyone want to buy a Silva compass LIKE THE ARMY USE!
£1.59 each
😆
What model are they? I hope they're using degrees and not Mils.....
No idea! Also I need to drive to Grantham to collect them (I'm in Surrey)
I think they might be like this:
Possibly...
Seemed a good idea at the time.
This is want you want for the ultimate uplift.

I need to drive to Grantham to collect them
what!?! I bid on the assumption that they could arrange delivery
SkillWill, I'll paypal you £3 for one of those posted 🙂
it appears that I am the proud owner of 10 watches!

that may or may not work?
ooooh, it's exciting isn't it? will they? won't they?
If they're degrees rather than Mils I'll take a couple off your hands. Email in profile.Anyone want to buy a Silva compass LIKE THE ARMY USE!£1.59 each
They'll be in MILS rather than degrees though won't they?
How frequently do they do these tenders?
next one is April I believe.
best get yourself to Grantham to find out!brakes - Member
ooooh, it's exciting isn't it? will they? won't they?
brakes, it looks like you beat me on that one! If any of them work let me know how much you want for one and I'll take one of you hands.
Did anyone get a snatch landrover?
has anyone mentioned the compasses might be in mils yet?
Brakes - I might be interested in one of those watches if they work. Email in profile.
With the new modified regs, DVLA are usually only willing to issue a V5 with "motorhome" if it was built and first registered as such - i.e. home converters now get the description "van with windows" or something,
They had put this in place a few months ago but after a lot of fuss they've already recinded it. My sprinter converted inside was changed just last week by the dvla based on a couple of pics, no questions asked.
Got any pics online, Steve?
Someone here has an *awesome* Sprinter - he works as an MoT tester, I think - not you, is it?
brakes - interested in working watch, if you mail me when you get them!
That's great news, I can get back to my planning *wishes he [b]had[/b] put a bid on that ambulance* hmmmm... 🙂They had put this in place a few months ago but after a lot of fuss they've already recinded it. My sprinter converted inside was changed just last week by the dvla based on a couple of pics, no questions asked.
not likely to get the watches for a couple of weeks.
anything that works will be going on eBay, but I'll drop anyone interested a note.
brakes may also have a look at a working watch was tempted by them, but didnt fancy that many
email in profile
brakes - are they delivering to you or are you collecting? If delivering, what was the cost?
Brakes
Drop me a line (email in profile) on one of those watches.
