another waste of trucks

[aj.lec]

Friends bought two vehicles from the scrappies
Apparently these vehicles were sold at auction with the speedos removed ?
The excuse given from auctioneers was to stop reberthing (how that would stop it makes no sense)
If they are sold to highest bidder ,why would they want to stop them being re registered ?
or care

They bought one for use on their mine and construction sites and when they did the ring around to check spare parts pricing (such as transfer cases and diff works ) they also thought prices were high and thuss bought the second for spares

dosent make sense to me

Any vehicle sold from Defence Auctions can be registered providing it conforms with state road laws as the registering process is (obviously) done in whichever state you reside and has nothing to do with Defence.

As far as "rebirthing" as an issue, Defence vehicles are not registered to start with as far as any state registration departments are concerned. They are a Govt vehicle and therefore hold an ARN (Army Registered Number as far as Army is concerned).

Rebirthing is not an issue at all. In fact, this would actually be first registration for these vehicles be it club, historic or open.

Missing speedo?? Who knows...

didnt make any sense to me either
There were 4 in that lot and all had been removed before auction
They were not spares vehicles .They were complete trucks with everything including hoses and fittings
