MLVW sightings

[rob love]

The Canadian military usually does not treat the PCC'd vehicles as anything of value. I bought M38A1s that had sat so long the fuel pumps would not work.....got them for a song. Meanwhle if it had a tarp it would go for 2 to 3 times the price. When I saw the Germans selling their Mungas here in Manitoba, they came complete with all their tarps, and even the tools etc were all still in their place. When you buy Cdn surplus vehicles, you are usually lucky if it has batteries.

I would not be surprised to see the MLVWs wait a year or three before being sold off, if that's still the plan. The old deuces went the same way. Although prices were fairly high on them initially, they were going for only around $600 each towards the end. Many also went to ranges as targets. Even some Iltis went to the ranges here as targets. That made me happy. I did not like the Iltis.

the problem down here is that the disposal action is now put in the inital contracts. thats why there are so few hummers in civilian hands, and no more to be sold. and the US state dept now retains a small percent of ownership of nearly all military gear made, sold, given, or loaned out now.

and of some intrest i think SEACO (yes the ones with the T16s) are the ones trying to sell all the CA armor. good luck to them, if they dont sell it soon you are looking at another reaf project in the makeing.
