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

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?

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 🙂

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?

Good point, should only really put the cheeky bid on one then; what's worse than ending up with one shagged out ambulance...5!

Hmm, tempted to pop a very cheeky bid on those watches, even if most didn't work I think you could make some money.

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...

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.

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 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)

No rockets behind the headlamps or ejector seat though - so I'm out.

More information on those Snatch landies.

1) presumably all the "good" condition ones are pretty knackered...?

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
