Just as an aside to Humber movements this shows the lengths of travel some service vehicles saw,the ex RNZIR 66 kiwi land rover i have which is closer to british MOD ones spec wise than Aussie landys, went to NZ then shipped to singapore and may have seen vietnam service was imported to Perth in a batch of landys and bedford RLs may be 20 or more vehicles in mid 80s for auction here instead of returning to NZ, so army type decisions can be a bit puzzling in any country,unless they WERE sold off in Singapore and then imported by a private concern.
I saw 6 or 7 of the landrovers some were rotten as a chop chassis wise others were near perfect all with low mileages ,some made it on to WA roads but havent seen any recently,the sole Bedford i saw was very nice all hood bows and canvas present went to a collector i know not where,there is a bit of a write up on REMLR re the auction and numbers but i cant remember it clearly.
