Anybody ever bought ex-MOD kit?
 
Had a very silly conversation at work about paintball tanks today. Looks brilliant btw, not to derail myself too much but we're thinking about a works outing! Anyway, this conversation led me to looking at whether you can you buy a tank and I then spotted on a site where they clear old MOD stuff a Landrover V8 Snatch. Currently for only a bit over £500 quid with about 4 days to go. MrsDJF and I have always fancied the idea of a landy of some sort. So, the question is, does anyone have any experience of buying ex-MOD stuff like this? And for the army guys on here, how badly do you shag your Snatches before the MOD get rid of them? As it were.

Got shares in the oil industry?
The V8 snatches are a tad thirsty.

IIRC they are all demiliterasied(sp) and stripped down to basic parts. I believe that they can't sell them on if the vehicle is not 'roadworthy' or possible to be made it.

So will it still be a snatch landrover then? By that i mean armour and doors weighing in at about 3 tons? If so i wouldn't bother. If you'r looking for a good ex military 4x4 get an old long wheel base GS rover.

they dont roll that easily. you can easily have it at 20/25mph and hit full lock without it rolling (got the vid to prove it!)
