For those of you that haven't seen the news, it looks like vehicles will start appearing for sale soon, although I doubt the first ones will be the one to buy as defence probably want too much for them after the T5's sold for decent money, but down the track better price and condition vehicles could well be a bargain.

Silly over priced land rovers springs to mind, all the dealers will be rubbing there hands, and at first they will be alot on Interest and from non land rover people, then it will all go calm, the next lot will coming along and like you said prices will start to drop....
-
I'll believe it when i see it, I remember a similar article about 3 years ago!, Of interest is the 600 armoured vehicles, i wonder what they will be as the 113's cant be sold to civvys.

I think a lot of dealers have been burnt by the last sales of the Remediation TD5 models. A dealer had one on a lot near me and it stayed there for over 6 months the price coming down to less than they paid at auction (IMHO still $10K-$15K too much) in the end he just wanted it off the lot.
-
Those Td5 prices some were up at 40k, are just plain stupid, you try and give the model year for your road insurance, and they will come back and tell you is worth 12k, not 40k.
I think 10-15k should be the price range for these, why don't we all go to the auction and bid low, i think it would be very Interesting to see whos buying these and for what price.
-
I thought they may have been worth $17,000 because most had less than 100K on the clock. However when DMO puts a reserve of $20K or $21K they started off at an unrealistic price.
I do however think that the dealer networks will have been burned by the prices and saleability of the remediation TD5 models. It could be a better story for us with the perentie sales, although undoubtedly the early sales will fetch higher prices until the current demand for the Isuzu landies is met.
-
Believe it, the auctions are due to start mid feb to early march. Hopefully the perenties will come in at a better figure because of their age, but a lot (all) have been rebuilt lately.

Press Release
Minister for Defence Materiel – Sale of 12,000 retired Army vehicles
31 January 2013
Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare today announced that contract
negotiations for the sale of up to 12,000 Army non-combat vehicles and
trailers are now complete.
“The vehicles will be sold by Australian National Disposals, a new
Australian-owned business based in New South Wales,” Mr Clare said.
Mr Clare said sale of the vehicles gives Australians a chance to buy their
own part of Australian military history.
“The Army vehicles being sold include the Army Land Rovers, Mack trucks,
Unimogs, motorcycles, trailers and all terrain vehicles,” he said.
“The sale of these vehicles is expected to raise more than $100 million.
Their average age is 25 to 30 years old and they have average of 125,000
kms on the clock.”
The vehicles will be sold to Australian and overseas markets in order to
maximise the financial return to the Commonwealth.
The first vehicle sales are expected to begin March 2013 and will
progressively be sold to Australian National Disposals as the vehicles are
retired from the Army over the next decade.
A number of vehicles will be reserved and offered exclusively to community
and heritage organisations, including the Australian War Memorial, RSLs and
other historical organisations.
Interested parties can register their interest with the Defence Disposals
Agency at www.defence.gov.au/dda or via e-mail to disposals@defence.gov.au.
The B vehicles will be replaced by new vehicles under Project LAND 121 –
Overlander.
This is part of the biggest disposal of military equipment since World War
II.
Over the next 15 years the Australian Defence Force will replace or upgrade
up to 85 per cent of its equipment.

I hate it when a 'middle man' is involved. They will undoubtedly want their profit margins to be as high as possible. Say goodbuy to the good old days of scoring a bargain.
Will they send all the good gear overseas as they are more likely to get a higher return from foreign governments.
-
With our dollar being strong they will possibly get a better deal here...
-
Of course they will , all the good ones will go abroad, and it could work both ways, either cheap as chips, or silly 50k each, you know what some of these wheller dealers are like.
-
Good Morning all
Been at Prominent Hill for the past few days and missed the news.
All I can say is I will be in line, now to work out what is a reasonable price for a GS with winch & trailer..
Thanks
Wayne
-
I'm sure that there will still be some bargains, or so I am told ;) Expecially rougher vehicles that need a bit of resorative work. I doubt very much that they will have not noticed our existance as a target for their sales.
-
Well, I will look at what comes up for sale, but unless I come into a swag of cash I won't be buying anything. I like the Mog's though, but methinks I will just be looking. I wouldn't buy a 110 (not that I don't like them) as I have driven my 84 Isuzu County since 2001 I think, so why buy a 110 GS, anyway good luck to those of you who can afford to buy, I hope you enjoy them, cheers Dennis
-
A Mog.....how much change will I need for one of those?

There was one auctioned off by Manheim in Tasmania a few months back.
It went for about $40k or $45k if my sources were correct. (They said they knew the person who bought it.)

Could be Juddy but don't forget to read the small print from the website - These assets are used therefore inspection is highly recommended prior to bidding, description & photos should be used as a guide only
-
That's what they've got, but where do you bid?
Oh, notice one of the descriptions beside the 4x4 Landrover. 6x6.
The pictures are for illustrative purposes only.

Auctions do not start until 21 Feb and run for 7 days Mick. I suspect the site will post up individual vehicles on the 21 st.
-
actually six days and the inspections only open a day after bidding commences.
-
minto is not far I will go for a look (just got a loan for an investment property maybe I can embezzel some of it)
Dear santa
I want a white beemer with red and blue lights and a big green trailer second hand will do ;D
-

No, seven days inclusive.

My apologies Tommy, I thought that with a Start time 21/02/2013 4.00 PM AEDT and
End time 27/02/2013 4.45 PM AEDT there were only 6 X 24 hour periods + 45 minutes which I assumed to be 6 days.

in ome of the edition pf just 4 wd drive mag thier a survaliaence vehicle and tlr for dsle at 80k
-
mean for sale
-
contractor in bne is stripping the vehicles down and respraying them to make them pretty for sale
-
80K, is it new? or is someone living in another world.

Not seen, but if it's the one down in Tassie, then yes, it's nearly new.... as in very low km. It was never issued to Army.
Pete
-
It's so silly over here, 80 k, the mod in the uk, are having a huge sell of this month fully rebuilt to wolf spec land rovers drive away $ 10,000. Proves what a rip off ex army stuff is here.
-
I wonder what price difference there will be between rebuilt 110s and the others will we even be able to tell the difference. Interesting that they are selling some trucks with trailers hope they do the same with some 110s
-
$80000 not 80 km
-
rgm in bne is in the process of stripping and respraying both unimog and 110
-
The RFSV is one of a few that were given to a mob supporting one of hte SF units if I receall. they were given permission to sell one as a fundraiser. A bloke in tassie had it at 0k, and that pricetag seems to have stuc, I think because of it's low km, and no army use. However with more coming on to the market soon, I think that price is unreasonable.
Has anybody else signed as an interested person at http://australianfrontlinemachinery.com.au/??
-
one of the car dealers in bme is going to bid for all of veh in one lot not as individual lots
for exanple if the payed $ 10 000for them tjey want at least $ 18000 min for a veh over 20 yr old is it worth it considering almost all the remediation vehicles were first to be sold with low km.
-
Not bad mark up
80%
-

There are so many No.5 trailers to go and the few hundred it will add to the fall of hammer will be negligable and at least it will have a lunette.

The difference this time is that AFM has the tender to dispose of most of the fleet and so therefore it won't be the same as previous Defence auctions where the first winner has buyers option to purchase all the remaining lots of the same item. This time it will be an online auction on each item running simultaneously with no buyers option. So if this Brisbane dealer wants to corner the market he will have bid high enough to outbid many of his potential customers.
Good luck to him, it sounds like a strategy towards bankrupcy to me.
-
that is what they are going to they maje their money out govt auctions at the moment they have bought the trident fire tenders at a bulk option and now selling selling them of as individual sales same as the cl fleet of camters that were sold of by leaseplan
-
Those fire tenders are , stupid money.. who in there right mind would pay that price.
-
all ready sold 2
-
whos buying them??
-
contractors in mining
-
As far as I know, this Australian Frontline Machinery lot has them all to sell for defence. So not sure if you have seen vehicles being refurbished or something else?? If it is for sale, then I am confused!
-
rgm has a contract with BAE BNE to refurbish both 110 and unimog prior to going to sale i spoke to wm in regards to B fleet contract as i was organising work experience for students
-
Work experience, ummm, yes please, but only if I can have a company car... and I would be happy to take one of those old ex army Land Rovers...
-
The Grays online auctions have started
http://www.graysonline.com/sale/5005418/transport-trucks-and-trailers/unreserved-ex-military-trucks-land-rovers-motorcycles-trailers?spr=true
-
Well, some very good photo documentation of many Landy models etc.
For those restoring these items in 20 years time or whenever, can we check the obvious thing...who is saving all the large photo versions, especially interiors?
-
Not me, LOL cheers Dennis ::)

And who will go down to Grays Online depot and drop a REMLR membership leafleat into the glovebox of each vehicle :(
There is a Grays Online depot located at 222 Welshpool Rd here in Perth. I will be happy to drop off some leaflets when ADF vehicles come up for sale there.
-
Wow, look at how many bidders there are. The floodgates have been opened.
Let's hope there's one of those low mileage FFR's still left for little ole me when the
roadshow gets to Queensland.
Greg
-
So do these ex mil 110 have air con? anyone know?
Perhaps a bit redundant on a soft top version...
Also the EMEIs they have put up describe a light weight version but it looks like the total weights are very similar. What exactly are different with these?
Oh yeah...what do people reckon they will go for?
-
Sorry, no air con. and no power steering either.
a real bummer hey ??
-
There is Armstrong steering isn't there?? ;)
No, no aircon at all in the land rovers (although I think the ambulance had it fitted in the rear body pod).
The trucks are lightweight in the army definitions, the 6x6 are classed as light, unimog as medium, and mack is heavy if I recall. they are army classifications, not descriptions.
Suppose I should save some photos....
-
Ok, I am going to focus on photos of each variant, and all photos of rovers. Otherwise there is too much to do. Wonder if Australian Frontline Machinery would send me a DVD to make it easier LOL.
Anyway, details going into the database. Photos and information being saved. a stack of GS vehicles and trailers to go in this lot. I've got 5 days LOL!!
Oh, and the website for Australian Frontline Machinery (AFM) has been updated.
-
Sorry, no air con. and no power steering either.
a real bummer hey ??
The power steering can be retrofitted using the standard Defender/Disco 4 bolt PAS box and the PAS pump bolts directly into the timing case of the 4BD1.
The 6x6 already has PAS.
You wouldn't want the 110/county version of the air con, it took up the entire dash.

I notice that B.L from Rocklea QLD is heading up most of the Land Rover and other vehicle bids. He must be real keen to get them. Anyone know who this may be...dealer perhaps?

With all the ARN numbers showing at the auction, it won't be hard to track the vehicles when they come up for resale from dealers/ebay etc. Everyone will know what was paid for them, which just might, I repeat might, keep resale prices down a little.
I also note the mileage on many of these at the first auction is very low - I wonder if these are the best of the bunch, so that they set a high sell price which others will feel compelled to follow for lesser vehicles.
-
I did notice that one Stuart, getting the PDF's as well!! ;)
They do look to be testing the waters, it will be interesting to see what they finally go at, but remembering that there are a LOT more to come in the next 5 years or so.
-
will they be auctioning some ex Melb?
-
The FFR's with hardtops and winches look nice.
Cold climate CP's perhaps. anyone know ?

With 2,500 Land Rovers to sell off, I cannot see how the value of these Land Rovers can be sustained. Once the enthusiasts get their own to play with, the dealers will move in and scoop up whats left. Surely supply will outstrip 'genuine' demand. Once genuine demand is exhausted, sellers will flog to 'whoever' at discount prices.
The station wagon has only 8,969 kms on the clock whereas some of the other GS Land Rovers have over 150,000kms.

Sorry about that Richard ::). I know you have a lot on your books but wasn't sure if you had seen it. Are you logging the ARNs and vehicle information? If you want some help in collecting the photos and info, do not hesitate in asking for help. I am happy to do it for you :).
I'm surprised that all auctions finish at the same time (Closes: 27/02/2013 4.45 PM AEDT). This does not give a buyer the chance to bid on another vehicle if he/she misses out on their first choice. Surely a 5 minute stagger would have been more effective and preferred by buyers.

Whats the go with the hard tops.....

From the tac plates quite a few are ex 2 div army reserve that might explain the low km that some have :)

Whats the go with the hard tops.....
Holy cow Juddy. That post took ages to load :o (using temp wireless connection at the moment). 234 photos or something like that....stopped counting after the first 41.
Better PM Richard and let him know that we now have all the photos ;D
-
Whats the go with the hard tops.....
Survey vehicle..
In our finest military tradition: " Truck Panel Lightweight Survey FFR Winch MC2 "

Survey FFR. thanks Pete. that answered my question quite easily.
Greg

Almost looks like a V8 Supercar race !!!
The kid with the biggest toolbox wins and everyone else is an
"Also Ran" or a "Did Not Finish"
-
Some of these dont look like they even had the engines degreased what happened to the work that was supposed to be done like no tool holders or cam paint damed rumers wrong again ;D
-
The blood box is at $30,000. Really what silly money. should be 20K Max....and the hard top with winds at $17K, come on.....
surprised to see so much stuff left on these vehicles, Pintles, red emergency lights, even the Antenna mounts..
-
BE PATIENT is my advice.
If you really want a vehicle from disposals just wait. I can't see the price being sustained unless some overseas buyer with silly money is bidding.
Otherwise just hold your cash, enjoy your Series 1,2 2A or 3 and then buy one in the future for a song.
There's enough Khe Sanh in my collection for a lifetime. ;D

Money's not the problem, it's permission...... :P
-
I agree with your comments, I am watching the first auction to sense the frenzy.
The prices are not surprising but we have to remember there is still some 2500 for sale yet.
Question: are they all being sold in Sydney NSW.
All the best
Wayne
-
BE PATIENT is my advice. If you really want a vehicle from disposals just wait.
The frenetic pace in which Mr B.L from QLD is bidding on the Land Rovers, it may be a case of buy one off him or wait till next auction. I recon he may get the lot :(
-
Hey Tommy,
where does it tell you who is bidding?, I can only see how many bids have been placed.

I think that the prices can't be sustained, and these look in good condition, there may well be some bargains in the rougher vehicles that will appear in time I am sure.
Ian and the others are right, it is an initial frenzy, with time will bring more reasonable prices.
As to bits taken off, I doubt that will happen much, more trouble than it is worth. I think some asbestos removal etc for safety reasons will happen, but that would be about it.
All do seem to be coming out of NSW, chances are they are all probably going into a big warehouse somewhere near where the business is based. As Sam Kekovich would say, you know it makes sense!
-
Ok, landrovers all in the system, now on to trailers
-
Ok, I think I have htem all, I will try and get a copy of the page yesterday saved as a record of the auction. Hopefully just before close with near final bids!
-
Ive been saving the page each day for the record ish keeping

:P :P :P :P :P
7.5 hours to go. ends 1645 today.
Time to get your eftpos cards all in a row ...and good luck all those bidding.
I see the Station Wagon is at 18k already... maybe it'll go for 25k?
-
The Personell Carryall would have to be my No.1 pick for a practical vehicle, when ou have a vehicle, but then I also have no money LOL. Survey vehcles would be nice as well, but an ambulance would be best!
-
I suppose the Ambulances will go to outback drilling outfits or tourist outfits ..or someone looking for a great "tour Australia" camper conversion. Similar to the old model in that respect.
-
I expect so, similar for the workshop rovers I expect. I just hope that A) Bandiana gets an example of each, and B) Collectors get at least some of most variants and C) I win lottery and can afford to get some without the need for a divorce ;)
-
have to disagree, these vehicle are no way compliant to the mining industry standard's
-
Ahh, well I did not know that! They may struggle to shift them. I mean I can see GS 6x6 maybe being polular with tradies, but it's hard to tell. so far prices are staying up. but then, it is Austion 1!
-

Maybe PNG etc. Who knows?
As for [indigenous] tourism and holiday rentals, I seem to recall Mr A at Harvey Bay did ok with Series 3s...

Have to agree with you Wayne, no way for use as"On Site" mining use, but certainly a very versatile vehicle for prospecting/drilling/farming and commercial tourism off road use, and I suppose for the odd individual who can afford to purchase one, and I'm not one of them, cheeers Dennis :)

INteresting rule on Graysonline biding
"Like a traditional live auction, every auction at GraysOnline offers a 'Going, Going, Gone' period. An Auction will not close until all interested parties have stopped bidding for a full ten minutes.
For every bid placed in the last ten minutes of an auction it will be extended for a further ten minutes from the time of that bid.
This will continue until there are no more bids placed."
So they continue!!!!!

So how do you see what sold items went for I can only see the going going ones...

Hi,
you need an online account (easy to set up) then save them in your watching list, they stay there after they are sold and you can see what price and who bought it (just initials and town/state)
cheers

So
Soft top land rover 110's selling at this stage for 10/13k and only another 3000 plus to come on the market, prices should drop to less than 5k...
How many of the 110 soft tops have winch? GS and FFR.
Makes the civi td5's that were sold, and are struggling to sell ay 27k very expensive.ummmmmmmmmmm
-
I saved a webpage archive of the page about 1 minute to go to give an indication.
Yes, they may drop that low, deends on if any bulk batches are sold overseas I guess.
-
Did you see that Mark K posted up a list on AULRO with many of the VIN?
(http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp269/Burra2a/random/Auction1_zpsb1313258.png)
Congrats to anyone who won an auction, tell us all about your newly acquired Landy asap!
-
I did not actually! I've not been over there of much, just not enough time of late.
All the vins were on the auctions, and most of that info (Aside from price) I put in the database already.
-
Is there any indications of when the next auction is???
-
I disagree the prices will drop to $5k. I reckon they'll stay up near $10k.
On the civvy market, the Isuzu Landys with twice the km and not as well maintained are still selling at $6k-$8k for a county and around $15k for a 120.
Add to that, they'll probably be dribbling them out over the next ten years.
-
I agree with Mick, I actually think prices around the $10K are probably correct for these units. The Civvy Isuzu 110 don't have the gal chassis and are much higher mileage, the only bonus on the civvy ones are the availability of the 5 epeed, although there is now an AULRO member making kits to close couple the Isuzu 5 speed gearbox to the Land Rover LT230 transfer making ratio selection much more flexible.
Juddy - I guess it's time for your mob to make a bulk purchase of 4 bolt power steering boxes and Isuzu PAS pumps. Perhaps even a kit to retrofit PAS onto the perenties.
-
Now that sounds like a good idea....
what do i need...
-
Actually 5 years is how long the disposals are scheduled for I believe. Not convinced prices will stay that high for a soft top vehicle that is only 3 door, vs a hardtop 5 door, but I guess time will tell.
-
Now that sounds like a good idea....
what do i need...
Dave will have a better idea, however AFAIK the 4 bold PAS box for the Discovery and Defender bolts straight onto the chassis where the manual steering box mounts and I believe the same shafts and pitman arm are used on both boxes.
The PAS pump is an Isuzu part superseded to IS-8970788790 (about $760 last time I was quoted - still need it)
Then there are the hoses from the PAS pump to PAS box and the one to the fluid reservior should be LR Aust parts.
The LR PAS reservoir and bracket. Should be the same on 90/110 and Defender 90/110/130.
Fitting the PAS pump to the engine means removing the cover on the timing case and slipping in the pump, no belts or pulleys, but will be some studs or bolts. Can look when I'm at home.

So what is the cruise speed of the 4 speed military versions versus the 5 speed civvies?
For example would you need to make the swap to make long distance cruising comfortable
-
Now that sounds like a good idea....
what do i need...
First, you need space.
Send me the workshop
Seriously, Juddy, are you thinking of getting one of these Perenties and converting it to five speed? Adding power steering? Air conditioning would be good if you want to set it up as a tourer.
Maybe we should start another thread. "Perentie improvements and modifications."
With the numbers that may be coming on the market, could potentially be a big topic. Might need a section on its own.
-
The 4 speed have a 0.97:1 transfer ratio while the 5 speed have (IIRC) a 1.22:1 transfer and the O/D 5th is about 0.77:1 . This means that in 4th in a 5 speed box is lower than in the 4 speed but the 5th gear is marginally higher at 0.94:1.
What this means on the road is similar top speeds but the 5 speed is more able to maintain a higher average speed when hills are considered.
The LT95 4 speed is an excellent and robust box and more reliable over time than the LT85 5 speed. However using the Isuzu 5 speed with the LT230 is superior to both the LT95 and LT85/LT230 combinations.
You cannot easily swap the LT95 for a 5 speed in the 6X6 (without re-engineering) as the rear axle drive system uses the unique configuration of the LT95 transfer box.
-
With the numbers coming on the market, I think they will be a need for such modifications. The workshop we utilise is equipped to do just about any vehicle engineering job out there, some of it is very specialised work. What percentage of these Perenties have standard land rover parts? and when are the DOD going to be off loading there parts?
No you cant have the workshop.........
We have the space......
-
will the land rover power steering unit not fit?
-
Now that sounds like a good idea....
what do i need...

Seriously, Juddy, are you thinking of getting one of these Perenties and converting it to five speed? Adding power steering? Air conditioning would be good if you want to set it up as a tourer.
Maybe we should start another thread. "Perentie improvements and modifications."
With the numbers that may be coming on the market, could potentially be a big topic. Might need a section on its own.
Mick
If I understand correctly Justin is the Australian agent for a UK after market accessories company specialising in Land Rover. Therefore they would have wholesale access to OEM and pattern Land Rover assemblies they could import to Oz cheaper than we can buy them.
The army 4X4 Perenties do not have power steering and it seems that every civvy owner of a Perentie makes retrofitting of PAS a priority. If there are about 2,000 Perenties being released over the next few years, I personally think there would be a market for someone to make up a retrofitting kit for sale to new perentie owners. Even if they only do it in batches of 10 to 20 kits at a time.
Perhaps someone doing disk brake kits for Series Landies may also be interested.

will the land rover power steering unit not fit?
Yes the Land Rover power steering box is exactly what is needed, but the Land Rover PAS pump will not fit the 4BD1 engine. (The Isuzu pump drives off the timing gear)
So what you need is a lot of the Land Rover PAS parts, the Isuzu PAS pump and hoses to connect them together.

No you cant have the workshop.........
bugger
We have the space......
Do you want to store a few vehicles for me?
I'd like a Mack recovery truck c/w trailer and a Mog with a crane but nowhere to keep them.

Yes. An excellent suggestion. Maybe someone should have a quiet word in his ear.
-
I could arrange storage for you...
Getting the Land Rover Parts is not a issue, I also think theres room for a interior upgrade kit, some of these land rovers will need a tidy up, and I think we could also offer a seat and trim upgrade kit.
I would like to look into this further. I am also returning to the UK mid year for a number of business meetings, and this maybe a good opportunity to talk Pernties...
-
Don't Perenties have Isri seating not the usual Defender seats?
Any door cards would have to be modified Series cards (or Wolf if they exist) not Defender or 110 door cards.
-
Does the army release all the EMEI's? I would be interested in having a read through all the ones that relate to the unimogs
-
wolf ones do exist, so the Perenties ones are the same?
-
wolf ones do exist, so the Perenties ones are the same?
The sliding window door tops are Wolf so likely the door bottoms are the same. They are not quite the same as the SIII type.
Another retrofit is the hard top.
A Perentie soft top can retrofit into a hard top. What is needed is the 110 civvy 3 door hard top, or a 110 station wagon roof and SIII or SIIA sides and upper tailgate (with the hinge brackets for the roof) or fit a SW door,
-
I think the canvas to hard top is a winner.
I was only thinking about that the other day
-
Now that sounds like a good idea....
what do i need...
First, you need space.
Send me the workshop

I agree with Mick_Marsh start another thread!!!
Who is the moderator on ths thread? I seems to me that you are letting the thread stray away from the original topic of Defence Disposals. It appears the posts now relate to another topic concerning vehicle upgrades and setting up another business venture. Lets bring the topic back on track.

the auction just proves that the vehicles were overpriced as for the person wanting $41000 for 3 door hard top who was dreaming.
who bought unimog please have them Non destructive inspection to identify where the welding cracks in the chasis are.
mining specifications changed this year that is why toyota bought out the dual cab landcruiser.

What are the welding cracks u refer to? Do these mogs have a common problem in this regard?

Hi Everyone
I picked up a TD5 at the auction in Brisbane with a little help from HOT ROVER.
It has proved to be a great wagon I drive it everyday and haven't put a spanner on it yet.
Also got a good trailer on the day as well which I have used camping.
-
Forgot to mention it was ARN. 205-301 :)
-
That's odd,as 205-301 is Hot Rover's vehicle ? I was at that auction and recommemded HR to get it,and gave him a short list of trailers :) the others were 302-303-305 as 304 was written off in a MVA and sold out at Bandania in 2009.
or are also part of the crew where Hot Rover works ;)
Kevin
-
Thread hijack - is it MVA (motor vehicle accident) or MVC (motor vehicle crash)? There is rarely a crash where there were not preventable human factors as the cause, therefore it is rarely an accident!
-
Hi Uncle Ho
I think you might be getting myself (Landy59) and Hot Rover mixed up.We are very good mates and share the same rugged good looks! :D
I'm the one that drove my land rover 205-301 now rego "WE FLY" to Canungra just a week after the auction in Brisbane and we had a good chat together on the oval.
If it helps you remember I'm also the guy that works with Wayne Milburn (slat grill jeep fame) in Toowoomba at AEROTEC.

Well, didn't take long. Some of those Army 110 sold last week have turned up at a Brisbane retailer, Couzins Bros:

I wonder if he will regret that being as more will come to auction and those will probably be hard to sell. I guess time will tell the demand, mind you, a soft top is always fun!

As is the 1989 GS!
$26,890 - maybe two years ago they were worth those prices when there were only a few in captivity, but with several thousand more to come, not in my opinion.
Even the actual trials vehicles or the non-trials JRA engineering vehicles wouldn't still have those sorts of prices.
Now we have to start identifying the actual vets, so everyone get your Somalia, Timor Leste, Solomon Islands and Iraq photos out to start getting ARN!
-
What's the dealer mark up on these
-
about $6 to $8 grand mark up after you deduct auction fees, GST and transport.
-
Not too bad then.... Like we have all said, once more and more come up, the prices will drop. The hard tops will always fetch more money.......
Cant wait to see how much the double cabs go for, do we know how many of these they have?
-

Off hand, low twenties... 22 or 24 come to mind (less attrition of course). Disposal will likely not occur for a few years yet.

Now we know who B.L of Rocklea is. One now understands why they bid on everything in the auction. If they sell them it will be a nice little money earner for them. I can't understand why a Motor Stealer would pay the ridiculous amount of money that was paid for vehicles that are at best 25 years old. I would think that my series 2a ffr is now worth $60,000 or more as there is less of them in existence. I also wonder what the tie is between Greys Online and Cousins because watching the Auction take place B.L of Rocklea was trying to outbid any one else who bid, I wonder if it was a ploy to raise prices in the Auction.
It gives some food for thought.
Cheers

Very good points Rod....
Knowing in reality these things are not worth a lot it would be in a companies best Interest to get some one to up bid...
Lets see how many they sell...

I just had a look through the photos of the wagon I don't believe that the 8969km is low km I think it has been around the clock once as the wear an tear looks more than 8969km worth. I will be in brisvegas tomorrow so I will go and have a look.

And if I turned up there to purchase some other POS in the yard, with my civvie 110, 84 model Isuzu with a rebuilt engine ($9,800) they would pull out their little red book and say mate I would be flat out giving you $2,000 trade in, I tend to agree with you Richard, as others come onto the market he could get burnt :).
Most young blokes these days are brainwashed with the BS ads about jap stuff they wouldn't even consider the Best 4x4 on the planet, cheers Dennis
-
I think i will go that car yard with my Perentie hard top and say I would love to trade it in against say a toyota of some kind, Now I bet you they will value it at less than 8k....

The problem with an online auction is that we have to choose which items we want and chase them as they all finish at the same time.
Unlke a conventional auction when the price gets to high we stop and start agian on the next one.
I feel that the Auctioneers know this an manipulate the bidding if it is to slow.
I was interested in a couple of the trucks and nothing much happened to them until the day before ( Carrots) and the fact that most of the trucks topped out about the same price.
Not many of us can put a bid out on every truck!
Who is going to by a 25 year old ex army Landrover in basic trim for high Teens to low Twenties, when there are that many low priced 4X4 out there with far more to offer in Luxury and appointments.
Gone are the days when you bought an ex army 4X4 because it was the cheapest way to get one.

Hi Rod,
I don't think any Perenties have been around the clock (6 digits aren't they ??).... not that I've heard of anyway. It could have had a speedo replaced at some point though.
It's a 2nd Division (Army Reserve) vehicle, so may have spent most of it's life getting sun bleached in a compound. This would account for the poor paint, different seat covers and perhaps the low km's.
But... who knows ?

Maybe if you want one we have to get a few mates together sitting at computers in the same room each watching one of the desired items and then you place a bid at the last moment on the best value one. A bit like a sniping service.

and how many have the army got to get rid of ,1500 4x4 and 6x6, no air con no radio no airbags no locks no abs.the army td5,s had all of that and they are 05 models and they asking the same price.and auctions are allways open to frud.i have an epay story and the old pickles story as well,but not for this topic.
im off to corowa in 12 hours ;D
-
i was told greys online hold the bidding open for 10 mins after the end,then if some one bid them its open for 10 more.

I have quite a few in service pics of this wagon 48-360, it used to be with the reserve unit at Orange NSW, if somebody buys it i would be happy to email them the pics.

Correct, it stays open as long as there id activity in the previous 10 minutes, so it is a way to manage multiple item bidding with what appears to be the same end time.

Patience will be the order of the day to get value!
Let the dealers grab the early ones and when they relise that we won't pay their exorbitant prices they might give up and go back to the JAP models.

I only want a single S Line, converter dolly and 70 tonne float at the price of a perentie. Not asking for much!

Have alook at the pintles on the 4 perenties for sale in Qld, notice anything.
Are you talking about the lack of the locking tab or the bracket that holds them?
If yes, what is the problem????
That is a standard 1980s specification for the ADF. Dixon Bate had to make them as a special contract.
-
I was talking about the bottom Jaw, its not on any of the pintles, thus the Pintle will always spin round.
Is this a problem ::), no idea, I suppose it depends if you want your pintle to spin all the time, personally I think its stupid, and a jaw should be fitted all the time. And more so the Pintle locked when not towing.
However D, thanks for the info, I did not know the ADF Perenties came without a lower Jaw, every other army in the world Pintles have the Jaws, maybe a cost cutting thing here.
-
Juddy, you're got it wrong and this thread is getting off track again!
As Diana said, fully rotating pintles with non fully rotating (fixed) rings was an ADF directive from the early/mid 80's as a decision on safety grounds, as most people know if you have both spinning and if you have the trailer on too great an angle (reversing or going forward) it can lock and not be straightened with potential serious consequences.
-
No I did not get it wrong, I Interpreted it in a different way... But I get what you are saying, it was always left to spin from a safety point of view.

Next auction starting 14th for trucks and trailers. I note with interest there is 9 semi trailers and a water tanker
available from Acacia Ridge in Brisbane. The commercial yard in Brisbane already advertising the Rovers will be waiting for
their chance to pounce on some more. As everyone says, "just be patient"
Or in the case of the six wheel drive ambo. "Just be a patient ??" (Oh, I crack me up)

Whatever people have as a belief, I just realised that Sell & Parker, the parent company of Australian Frontline Machinery have, since 1998, endowed a paediatric intensive care specialist training position in my place of work.
It does go to show, that despite being a buisness they also have a benevolent side.

Apparently ex 85 transport and 17 Construction.
The 35' tri-axle trailers went for around $30K and the road train converter dollys for high prices as well.

Slight correction 3 out of the 5 Sliners were complete; the 2 left outside had been used to keep others going and were incomplete and one of these was reported to have the blown turbo. I was looking at them and was able to see the books on the 3 complete operational trucks. . None of the trucks had reached a millon KM not bad for 25 year old trucks. 3 of the vehicles had 17th construction markings and 2 of these were the wrecks outside.
The trailers are 41'Frehaufs and went for the low to mid 20's
-
thanks Roughie !
2 bravo and I were talking about a lot of things and I was under the impression there were only 4 S-Line, but his inspection happened 'through the fence' prior to the official dates.
What was the length of the old Haulmark trailers?
Would still find a lot of use for a S-Line and 41' Freuhauf

Let the dealers grab the early ones and when they relise that we won't pay their exorbitant prices they might give up and go back to the JAP models.
Our intent is to keep these for history within reason, not just to flog the crap out of them on the beach or make into a Soccer Mums Taxi!!!
The silliness has begun,

Another Perentie (49-611) has shown up at the same dealer.
49-611...110...09.1989...Perentie 110...72500...Truck, Utility, Lightweight, MC2...SALLDHAZIFF385729...Odometer reads 169,605 as at 06/02/2013... AFM Auction Feb 2013 ...02.2013

It would seem that the other four Perenties for sale at the same yard have yet to find new owners.

With so much stock coming on to the market,you'd think the demand will be swamped pretty quickly.
The land rovers will probably be down to $5k before long. A $25k mog doesn't sound too crazy either...
Very happy to wait ;D
-
This one may be worth bidding on as it is a fairly significant vehicle. http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0061-5006043/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/land-rover-soft-top-2-1987-land-rover-110-4-x-4-soft-top
48-005. Currently configured as a soft top, but it is actially Initial Production vehicle 5, which was built, and is still plated as, a Command Post FFR. Only 2 were built, This one went to the army, the other still in private hands, and I believe belongs to black Bill ?
Would be a good one to have as 1 of 2 of a kind.
-
Richard, the bush tucker man's GS was 48-001. How is it different to 48-005?
btw, could you add a link to the http://www.remlr.com/btmnotes.html page we have.
the link is the official site http://www.bushtuckerman.com.au which apparently came thru 6 months back.
there are a couple of good yarns and generally a great place to go armchair travelling.
-
Ok, the initial production vehicles were the first vehicles off the line and pretty much represented one of each type.
48-001 is a GS With Winch, IPV1, and is fabously known as the Bush Tucker Man vehicle from the first series. It is believed to be in service in Darwin still.
48-002 was a FFR, IPV2. It later became a RFSV development prototy[e and was later upgraded to the latest RFSV specivication under Project Overlander part 2a. Believed to still be in service.
48-003 was a FFR, WIth Winch, IPV3. Like 002 it was later upgraded to be a RFSV development prototype. It too was upgraded later again to the latest RFSV spec.
48-004 is a Survey FFR WW vehicle, IPV4. Not sure where it currently is.
48-005 is the command post previously mentioned, IPV5. Was later converted to a basic FFR. At the current auction.
48-006 is a Senior Commander FFR WW. IPV6 and currenty of unknown location.
48-007 is a Personnel Carrier. IPV7, also of unknown location.
48-008 is the first true production vehicle, a GS which they all ere unti 48-343 when they started producing the other models.
-
Are the 4 seats legal in the back on the road in civilian life??
-
Whatever is indicated on the compliance plate is legal in civilian life.
-
Exactly, and the blue slips will give a good indication as I believe they include seating capacity.
On another note, RAAF land rovers are appearing as well going by registration numbers. http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0048-5006043/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/land-rover-soft-top-9-1990-land-rover-110-4-x-4-soft-top
-
there are also quite a few "non operationald" Land Rovers in this auction too.
-
One of which is a RAAF 6x6 as well. Some don't look too bad, others are pretty rough, but I expect the prices will stay pretty low.
Even some of the complete vehicles look pretty rough.
-
4x4 Land Rover prices are down on last auction. No.5 trailers are currently at give away prices. Could this be the beginning of bargain priced 4x4 Perenties? Next auction will be rather interesting.
Cousins Motor Co had one of their Perenties up on ebay recently for $19 890. They had only one offer for $6000. This was declined. Auction ended without result.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1989-Land-Rover-110-Diesel-Green-4sp-M-Wagon-/390564133279?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item5aef6fb99f&_uhb=1#ht_2276wt_1140
http://offer.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsLogin&_trksid=p4340.l2564&rt=nc&item=390564133279
Cousins still haven't sold any of the original four which they bought at the first auction. I think they may have trouble moving these four their current prices.
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Cars-/29690/m.html?_ipg=&_sop=10&_from=&_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ssn=cousinsmotorco&_dmpt=AU_Cars&Manufacturer=Land%2520Rover&rt=nc
The question should be asked...will the Perenties become 'poison' within the used car market. If prices continue to fall at auction, car yards could be stuck with unsellable stock.
-
That will teach them to be greedy......
whats the trailers at now?

Currently between $209 and $409 :o

Wow now thats a good price.... is thats based upon recent activity?
Whens the next BNE sales?
-
The previous trailer (No 5) sales in Brisbane last year were run by Mannheims.
Not the same as these current disposals.
The only current auctions so far in Brisbane were for semi-trailers.
I'm wondering if all these vehicles are going to be Sydney sales only. gonna make it hard
for people in the rest of Oz to get one.
Juddy, if you're after a No. 5 trailer I'll have one soon once I finish painting etc.

A no 5 would be good at these prices but a crump and cornish is far more useful brakes and a tail gate and size mmm thinking hard ;D
-

A Crump and Cornish is big.
But you know that. You saw them at Corowa.
IMO to make them more "domestic", move the axles over the springs. Like that one at Corowa.

Hi Mick,
Do the Crump and Cornish (and the similar ones made by others presumably) have bows? The photos don't really show whether there are sockets, etc but there are rope clips visible. They look like a nice trailer and the brakes and tailgate make them more attractive.
Bob
This one has bows - so my question answered:

I am considering another Trailer to go with the Workshop. The Sankey we are utilising for the business, and luck be have it I have a brand new ex reserve stock Sankey tub, coming in the container, Price $500 not too bad me thinks. I think A number 5 might be better for the Workshop or a workshop trailer maybe.
I also have a Rapier trailer that I can have but not too sure if thats too big for the Workshop...

Bob the c7c trailers have bows but dont appear to have the canopies

Thanks Geoff,
Going through the photos I found that one and must have been editing my post as you were posting. I agree with Mick - if the axle was refitted to the springs they would look like they were not meant to have 9.00 x 16s :). At 2M wide you could sleep crossways easily for travelling too.
And thanks Mick too!

Just right for me my camper tent is 7x6 on a 7x4 curently, had been thinking of fitting brakes to my current trailer

Thanks Mick,
That certainly looks more proportioned and easier for loading.
So the next question is: What is the track width or better still the Wheel Mounting Face/Wheel Mounting Face distance? Were these built to be the same track as the Perentie or the Unimog? (Seeing you have Disco steel wheels I could work it out with a inside/inside tyre measurement.)

I've only ever seen them on the back of a Mog. Mine was made in the eighties I think. Pre Perentie.

I paid 409 for it. I wouldn't pay 2400 for one. This buyer must know something we don't

What is hidden in the drawbar?
-
It has a canopy on it, so who knows how much gold (or ther stuff) is hidden under there LOL :o ;D
-
How to search sold prices.
A couple of people have asked me this so I thought I would post it up for everyone's benefit. There may be a better way to do this so if you know how please share.
Basically you have the web address for the auction
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0075-5006043/
The '0075' if the lot number the other bit '5006043' is the auction number.
If you put this in your address bar of your browser you can manually punch in the different lot numbers to work your way through the auction items and get the final sold prices.
For example lot 001 would be:
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0001-5006043/
Hope this helps ;)

keep an eye on Cousin Truck site for items heard they bidded for 10 lr
-
Keep an eye on the NT and WA as there will be auctions based in those states soon ;)
-
Picked up the trailer today. I asked if there will be any interstate auctions, the reply from Greys staff is that there will be some interstate auctions but most will be in Sydney. Plenty of No.5 trailers steed there I would say keep an eye on next auction. There were some Rovers as well.
Cheers

Lot 48 of the current offerings (ex RAAF GS - 230045) doesn't seem to have the external mesh roof rack. Is this a RAAF thing or is it likely it's been removed at some stage?
Also noticed that Lot 47 (FFR 49385) has a stronger roll bar set up with braces on the rear hoop and top bars connecting the front and rear structural hoops. Does anyone know anything about this setup as it seems to be uncommon.
-
The mesh roof panel was easily removable, only a bolt on if I recall.
THe rear braces on that FFR are interesting, I had not noticed them.
-
I captured these few pages just before the end (11/12 minute mark) of auction #3. Not sure if they went higher in price but it will give a good idea of the prices the Land Rovers attracted.
Sorry to disappoint, but, those were the current bids before the real bidders got started.
The two top 6x6's got around $20k plus other charges.
-
Removed.
-
Removed.
Why?
-
I have inspected vehicles at two auctions and bid without success as I felt the price + 16% + Stamp Duty+ Full rego is adding $4000 to the listed hammer fall of most Landrovers. Chatting to people at the auctions I met farmers who felt buying 4 of 5 landrovers was good value as it was equal to the cost of a new cruiser trayback. I have met families thinking that these will be a good family holiday car, these people will probally have them back on the market after a few trips as they realize that the comfort level and security level of these vehicles is very limited. In the trucks I have met small transport companies seeking workhorses, most of the MOGs have very low mileage but most are rusted badly in the turrets and gutters from sitting outside for 25 years.
I have not yet met any collectors like me? I estimate that there are probably 1000 collectors on the eastern seaboard from the bottom of Vic to the tip of Qld. Not all of these have an interest in landrovers.
I am hoping that after a few more auctions demand will drop and prices will become more realistic? hears hoping anyway

The info isn't accurate. I forgot about the bidding war at the end of the auction :(

Hi there all
Well its official I have bought and paid for 48 005, and driving it home from Brisbane Saturday morning:
48-005. Currently configured as a soft top, but it is actually Initial Production vehicle 5, which was built, and is still plated as, a Command Post FFR. Only 2 were built, This one went to the army, the other still in private hands, and I believe belongs to black Bill ?
Would be a good one to have as 1 of 2 of a kind.
All the best

Gray's are sending out the following e-mail:
"Dear Xxxxxx,
Congratulations on your recently purchased XXXXXXXXX from GraysOnline as part of their Defence force sale. We would love to hear what you are doing with your new wheels. Was it for business or pleasure? Grays have similar items to what you won coming up for auction in late June and Sunrise (Channel 7) would like to do a story on these, especially what past winners think and how they are using it. Would you be interested in telling us your story?
• Are you a weekend warrior? Did you buy it just for fun?
• Did you buy it for your business?
• Is it being used on your farm?
• If it was a camouflaged vehicle, did you repaint it?
We appreciate everyone’s time is valuable, so Grays are happy to offer you a gift voucher in exchange for your story.
If you would be interested in sharing your story, and getting your 15 minutes of fame, please call me on 0448 097 058 or reply to therese.tarlinton@grays.com.au
Kind regards
Therese"

Next auction is all round the country, Darwin,Perth,Townsville,Minto, and Brisbane
Should be interesting

Hi there
But at this stage there is nothing planned for Adelaide......
Wayne

Fingers crossed for Adelaide
-
Curious to note that the auction listings for the NT auction are now listing No5 Trailers as "No 5 1/2 Tonne Trailers"! ;D Hooray, no more "Cargo 1.8x1.3m" trailers. Has someone had a word in their ears, or do Australian Frontline Machinery read the REMLR forum.
And after the Bouquets, now the Brickbats. They have 5 Cook's 750kg trailers listed. Strangely, they are consecutively listed as Mobility Class 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. An MC6 trailer must be extraordinarily difficult to tow on even the best quality roads. :(
-
I would be amazed if they do not read the forums given we are precisely their market audience!
I did send them an email about No.5 trailers, so that may have helped the change in name.
-
I noticed there are a few Haulmark trailers for sale at the minto auction for anyone who might be interested
-
I missed the end of today's auctions but I did save a couple in my watch list, surveillance 4x4 made $15k, two FFR's both $8k, 6x6 $15k, cooks trailer $1800
So prices are starting to settle down, maybe the traders realise it's a very small market, farmers don't really want them as their main vehicle just as a second, too rough for tour operators.....
So if they come down another couple of grand they will be good value! then I might just have to think seriously
cheers
-
no 5 prices have taken a tumble might be able to afford something at the next auction
-
The grays rep told me there would be a an Adelaide auction in August. But he is the same guy that told me about 48-001
Some of the 6x6 in Townsville went up 10k in about 2 hours
-
Was told on the 26th, from Kevin@grays.........."There may be a sale in Adelaide but I have nothing confirmed at this point."
-
Just picked mine up! 1988 110... 155k on the clock. Passed road worthy first time (apart from fitting new drivers side wing indicator - cover missing and bulb blown, all good). Great wagon... now looking for a few add on bits and rear bench seats (lower part, have the backs, just need the base cushions)... If you know of any, please let me know. Also wouldn't mind a winch.
Cousins in Oxley (Qld) bought 12 in the first round in Sydney and are trying to flog them off for $18 - $27K... I paid $8k.... so they're on for a MAJOR loss!
Be good to hear from you if you know about parts... or even appropriate battalion marks ( it has a chicken stenciled on the side!).
Cheers,
Stripey

Hi there
I also bought mine from Cousins (48 005) - and they are open to offers with warrantee, and they are keen to move them on..........
PS - it wasn't worth my efforts/gambling going to auction with the money I paid for a vehicle with rego-roadworthy & warrantee - they are a good organisation to deal with.

The chook with a spanner would be the RAEME sub unit in the Sqadron maybe.
And on the subject of Heraldry if the chook is Rampant by standing up would a laying down
chook (Extant) be called a DEAD DUCK. ????
And , while we're on the subject. Did you know that horse statues with warriors on them can tell you if
the Warrior died in battle, died of wounds later or died of old age simply by the number of the horses legs
touching the ground ???? Did you know that.
Was the above a thread stealer or what ???

Countdown is on to the next afm auctions :D :D

Hi there
Direct from the auction people there are currently NO intention of an auction planned for adelaide.

Gday to all, I purchased a Perentie from the Minto auction earlier this month, VIN salldhaziff378257 the ARN 230059. Unfortunately there was no log book in the vehicle when it arrived in Perth. What I dont understand is that all the other Perentie 4x4s seem to have ARN begining with 480 etc, could anybody enlighten me as to why the ARN on my vehicle is so different , it was built 07/ 89. The only reference I can find on the vehicle re the ARN is what was written on the windscreen prior to the auction, it is also mentioned on the invoice reciept . Appreciate any knowledge you can give . Thanks Johno

Raaf
Or even RAAF ;)
Army traditionally used ARN up to 199-999 and then restarted the numbers hence SIIa were ARNs up to around the 170s prefixes and SIII 20s and 30s prefixes
RAAF traditionally used 200-001 and above.
(http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m2/Auntikinus/AWM/AWM%20Korea/P04932001.jpg)
That said I have a trailer with a number above 200 which I believe is Army.
-
221-upwards and 223-upwards, 230-upwards etc are RAAF vehicles I believe.
The groupings were allocated at some stage, Don't recall the precise story about it. I have some information about it somewhere I think.
Congratulations on the purchase.
-
I'm sure the RAAF numbers go lower than that, I know that RAAF Jeeps in the Korean war were only in the 2teens as is the RAAF FX Holden I posted above.
Even simple searches of the AWM WWII photographic collection reveals RAAF Jeep 203-957 http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/P02874.224 (http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/P02874.224)212-594 http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/124244/ (http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/124244/) 213-583 http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/OG2271/ (http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/OG2271/) so it is likely the 2 prefix started as early as WWII.

Thanks folks for your reply re my ARN 230059, it just appeared a bit odd that all the other recently auctioned Perentie Rovers haD arn BEGINING WITH 480. THANKS
-
i drove a 6x6 today and it was arn 202 ??? can not remember the last 3

That would be an army one.

John,
A RAAF one - that's disappointing. Are you going to send it back ?
Jack
-
Some of the new G-Wagen 6x6 numbers are 403-xxx or 405-xxx. That's either an altogether new service in the ADF, or they've opened up a whole new book of numbers!

It wouldn't have been worked very hard off-road in the RAAF so probably abetter vehicle.

There is a bit more to the numbering besides the number itself. There are a few different plates out there and they all signify different things.
The good old GS Mack truck carries this type.
(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii115/glenpats/Parade201310_zps93c4baf3.jpg)
whereas an S Line line haul fleet type carries these;

Some are different again; CL card fleet MAN

whereas CL type card fleet light vehicles are different once again. Some say "Army, serving the nation", and on some the first two numerals are significant as the year of purchase

Is it true that the ADF alpha numeric plates are usually driven by civilian drivers? The ones frequently used by DMO.
-
I don't know about that, but Bandiana has quite a collection of plates in a display case on the LHS of the hall now. Trouble is I forgot to take a photo on my recent visit!

There is a very good example of a buggy in private hands in Vic, surely that would be closer?
There is a little artistic licence with the smoke dischargers etc but a very well presented item never the less.
A question on 112-726, if the vehicle was allocated to 2AOD in SVN, what tac would it have worn?

Gday Jack, not totally convinced my Perentie is ex air forceARN 230059, however it does seem happier enjoying the comforts rather than roughing it. John

That old stuff looks like they are cleaning up near the bridging yard at SME
Starting to get ready for the move I think

Hello Johno,
Your 110 is ex RAAF, Should be a well looked after unit. I may have some Mates with in service pics of it.

Absolutely, everything at the Museum is being packed, the project officer is on site 5 days/week.
Most of the vehicles and spares are going into storage at Bandiana, some items are being transferred to other Army Museums and the rest to scrap or landfill. Some museum items will be going to auction, however it seems there are problems with this process because much of it is already off the DMO inventory.
-
Gday CHIEF, I am rapt that you could identify my Perentie230059 and would appreciate any info or pics. She has 57451 on the odometer and is in very good mech condition. The only faults are the heater fan is seized and the tarp although ingood nick leaks water. Once I find the right product to seal the canvas she will be fully efficeint. Thanks for the info so far . John
-
Just looked at the ad, the lathe is the one we have been using in the museum, works well but requires 3 phase power. Just the thing to park next to your shed.
The photo is taken inside the museum workshop, it's sad to see it so empty without the projects happening.

So the auctions off to a quick start
People seem to be 'standard bid' not auto bidding though, 5 minutes after the start and a bmw has $3000 on it, the rest at $300..

Lot 82 in Sydney is interesting. I've started a thread HERE (http://remlr.com/forum/index.php?topic=1262.0).

Hi All
I found this interesting one over in the Perth Auction. Anyone know what the unit on the dash is? I thought it may be a head unit for a HF radio but there doesn't seem to be enough buttons or plugs maybe a gps unit.
Cheers

Looking at the vehicles currently for Auction in Brisbane there are a number stripped down with lots of loose bits to bolt back up. I believe that this like mine is a quarantine clean and these vehicles have been returned fro an Overseas deployment. My log book contained all the shipping paper work, for the historical minded these may be worth a closer look.

Thanks good info good to know,
also the vehicles with very low KM's ie there is one with only 828km's (look closely at the photo of the engine, new components, hoses, belts, master cylinder, new stuff everywhere) have most likely been through Tenix full rebuilds, that is chassis up rebuild, they should have the XZL tyres, fresh paint, but more importantly rebuilt motor and gear box etc - should be basically a brand new 25 year old vehicle
Cheers
Scott
-
Just an observation,
With all the vehicles at Moorebank, You would want to pick your poison. They all finish at exactly the same time. I have noticed a marked slump in highest bids.
Is anyone multiple bidding? I guess you just try the highest bid and wait to lose. :(
Maybe in a future auction I will get one for $50 in a crate. No, wait, that would be yet another Land Rover at my place.
Really glad everyone else is supporting the sell up. I'll just enjoy my 2a's. ;)
Cheers,
Ian

Last Friday, I had a close look at the Brisbane units. Some of the partly assembled units are obviously missing parts like air cleaner assemblies etc which are not in the back. It's unclear how many other parts might be missing. Some log books were water damaged also and could not be read. The other thing which stood out was firewall and door frame rust - while there are signs some have may been rebuilt not that long ago, I suspect some have had a salt bath in the recent past, probably post rebuild :(
All the vehicles with log books had a recent technical inspection report included in the book. Very comprehensive - similar to an RACQ report. This lists all defects and a total cost for rectifying the defects. Even down to checking wiring of the NATO sockets. The repair costs for each vehicle ranged from $6,000 to $15,000, based on the army costing methodology. This included things like minor dents, loose rivets etc which the average owner probably wouldn't notice or care about. The more significanct issues were very noisy transmisisons, inoperative winches, rotten canopies, leaking rear main seals, transmission seals, brake issues, footwell rust etc. To keep it in perspective, many of the issues would not be a roadworthy fail point.
I am of the opinion that the army has prioritised the disposal of these units based on cost to bring up to A grade standards, the vehicles which are costed below a certain threshold will remain in service for longer. It was also clear that most of the vehicles have been in storage for 12 months or more, based on km readings and dates of inspection reports. Grays staff advised that the majority have had new batteries fitted for sale purposes, with the exception of the incomplete/inoperational vehicles which they move using a forklift.
I would strongly recommend inspecting the vehicles, the photos and descriptions do not tell the real story.

In case it helps .....
it has been possible to look them up after they disappear from the grays auction website by entering the individual url for the subject vehicle in the search window
in previous auctions doing this brought you back to the individual vehice entry with all the bidding intact - I assume this procedure will continue to apply
-
Will it still work at 9pm when I get home?
Thanks guys! :)
AAVA is looking at acquiring some logistical vehicles to move the armour around, the big pitty is that the S-Lines need to be 6 years older before they can go on club plates.
-
Yep, also if you set up an account with grays and then save them into your watch list they stay there for one month after the auction closes.
-
I'll do that Scott! :)

Very surprised the 6X6 Macks went for more than the S-Line inters, but I guess its a different market. The rough terrain trailers were a surprise also.
AAVA could pay commercial rates to float vehicles to do parades in Perth and still not spend the $60K price of a single truck and trailer. We'll have to win Lotto!

48-008 is the first true production vehicle, a GS which they all ere unti 48-343 when they started producing the other models.

While all our attention has been focussed on Aust Frontline Machinery/ Graysonline, has there been anything itneresting happening with the usual auction houses, ie Mannheim and Pickles?
There must be an awful lot of spare parts no longer required that needs to be sold off.
-
AFAIK AFM has the rights to everything including all the spares and I am told there are heaps of them :D
-
I was told that the army would hold on to the majority of there spares until they had got rid of each model
They are still using them somewhere. Dont see and landies on the road out here at broken hill anymore just g wagens and bushmasters on road trains
-
The fleet of rovers is still well and truely in use, only a small percentage have been sold to date. AFM do have hte contracts to do everything from whole vehicles, to containers of nuts and bolts, so 99% to 100% will come out from them.
-
buuuut
If an allied country asks for these for their army.. I bet preference will go to selling as a bulk lot "Buy your own army - 2000 perenties and all spares, $15mil"
-
It would have to be allied, as some countries would have specific blocks against export of military vehicles. Mind you, I doubt many countries would want a 2nd hand (although good condition) fleet of vehicles, but you never know!
-
I can see our government going "Hey PNG, if we give you a fleet of Perenties, will you take our boat people?? Please? With 20W50 GTX2 on top?"
-
If you are in Brisbane and going near the airport there are plenty of rovers behind the fence in the old army stores depot on Sugarmill Road. Could be the feed lot for the next auctions.
-
just fitted power steering to my Perentie, not cheap but worth every cent. Also installed low coolant warning alarm, for peace of mind, located sender unit in bleeder plug at thermostat. Can anybody inform of the correct eng oil preferably castrol for the 4bd1. Thanks John
-
Mind you, I doubt many countries would want a 2nd hand (although good condition) fleet of vehicles, but you never know!
Jordan took our Challenger 1 tanks and the fleet of Scammell Commander transporters, so a fleet of surplus Landies should be no problem to shift. ;)

Castrol RX Super for engine and gearbox, Castrol FMX for Transfer case.

Seems Mannheims are still selling vehicles and trailers: 173-587 (http://www.manheim.com.au/ttpm/3859038/adf-1-2t-trailer--box-domestic--no-compliance-plate-fitted?referringPage=SearchResults).
Might pay to drop in from time to time for a look while everyone is looking out for AFM, find yourself a bargain.
-
Once again Manheim are selling them without lunettes (pintle rings).

I have recently spoken to DOD with regards to a number of issues, ie When will spares be released, the question on jacks and braces etc
Heres there reply.
UNCLASSIFIED
Mr Burton,
Thank you for your emails to the Disposals Helpdesk dated 22 August and 1 September 2013. You have raised a number of specific questions which I will attempt to answer below.
As you probably are aware Ex-Defence vehicles and trailers are being sold to the public by Australian Frontline Machinery (www.australianfrontlinemachinery.com.au) through a series of online auctions. The vehicles are being released to Australian Frontline Machinery as Defence identifies them as being surplus. At the point of disposal by Defence the vehicle and trailer condition varies and, in almost every event, they are in need of mechanical work and some parts such as jacks, spare tyres and other items Defence would have fitted when the vehicle or trailer is in operational service may be missing. This could be because Defence has made a decision to keep that item to make good a deficiency in another vehicle or trailer rather than utilise a new item. Therefore, when Australian Frontline Machinery sells the vehicle or trailer the number of these items fitted varies from vehicle to vehicle.
At present there is no contract in place for the sale of Ex-Defence Landrover spare parts and until a particular fleet or sub-fleet is withdrawn from service this is unlikely to occur.
Regards,

This really is a twilight zone in relation to parts at the moment. People want them because they have the vehicles, but defence still has thousands of them in service, and will do for probably a decade or so still. So it is a grey area.
With regards to jacks, everything defence sells is usual as is where is, so if you get one, well done, if not, keep looking.

Just be careful if you are buying a No.5 trailer. Two of them in this auction have had new A frames fitted to them prior to sale. They are made out of RHS and painted green.
Im not sure what the lot numbers were for the trailers as i didnt realise until i got home that all the trailer pics on the front page have the round drawbar on them

The on-line pics now show the A-frame replacement for the lots as identified by 303gunner - this with its civvie trailer hitch could appeal to some users.

And they have ball couplings.
Pitty the bids are so high already as they would make a good donor tub fo my No.5
-
Went and had a look at the Melbourne vehicles and trailers.
A couple of "traps" if you're not careful, and a couple of very good vehicles
I started most of the vehicles and mechanically all good but some firewalls/chassis not so good.
One vehicle is a Timor vehicle
Some of the No 5's I'd keep clear of
If anyone is interested in buying a vehicle and want an honest opinion PM me and I'll fil you in.
The Vehicles are all Nth QLD vehicles, been to Minto and then transported to Melbourne.
The guy said they'll see how the auction goes and if successful they might do another one in Melbourne.......
-

Ha-Ha! How time have changed! Probably less than 12 months ago. $609 for a No5 Trailer with near new tyres would have seemed like an absolute steal. Lot 63 does have a very straight tub and would paint up well.
I expect that the long A-frame and ball coupling might make these two trailers especially attractive to civvy buyers with say a Disco or Def Extreme who like the appeal and build strength of the No5 as an off-road trailer but are discouraged by the pintle coupling.
-
AFM do have a lot of trailers, so I supposed repairing a damaged on in that fashion makes sense to appeal to a wider audience!
This one is an interesting RAAF GS http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0047-5007479/transport-trucks-and-trailers/land-rover-110-4x4-cargo-soft-top-7-1989 as we have a photo of it in service as a RAAF Quick Response Force Vehicle or some such name I found it being called. Barwork and weapon mounts for ADG's I suspect, later replaced with the use of different vehicles.
-
Ha-Ha! How time have changed! Probably less than 12 months ago. $609 for a No5 Trailer with near new tyres would have seemed like an absolute steal. Lot 63 does have a very straight tub and would paint up well.
But it won't be $609 after the buyers premium and GST are added.

When you're going to throw away the chassis then it makes less economic sense. $500 including BP+GST like the ones at Manheim-Fowles Moorebank 18 months ago would have been attractive.

I'm confused :o. Why would you throw away the chassis? Trailer comes with NSW blue slip. Trailer has already been modified to accommodate a 50mm tow ball. All ready to hitch up and drive away with no modification costs.
-
Could Greys be modding these in the hope of obtaining more $$?(wider market)
Might be a tester.
BTW WA vehicles are being shipped East for the auctions. Tommy and I saw some parked up in the rail yards but a mate has also said he has seen 110's coming in on low loaders to be shipped east.
now that is BS!

Hey FFRMAN,
What was your opinion of the number 5 trailers you checked out at Cheltenham ?

Hey FFRMAN,
What was your opinion of the number 5 trailers you checked out at Cheltenham ?
Mick
Hi Mick,
Basically they are all Ok.
All have straight chassis (not jack knifed) and nato plugs and wires all connectec on all of them.
There is one with two Michelin XZL tyres this should be worth more, there is one with a steeltrek and a Michelin this might be hard to get registered with odd tyres.
About half of them have some pitted rust on out side of tub which has been painted over. There is only two with tarps but they are not very good, so factor in $300 for a new tarp.
The non camo one is a bit bent up but nothing a sledge hammer cant fix.
The better ones are lot numbers 18, 16, 23,
Ssshhh I am bidding on one of them, cant have enoug number fives......
Basically ypu wont go wrong with any of them.
Cheers
Scott

What are people's thoughts on the Minto no. 5's. in particular lot 72
Thanks :)

Hi Scott,
Thanks for that info, I'm having a crack at one as well. Appreciate your opinion.
Cheers,
Mick
-
I expect the a frame arms are exactly that cliffy, trying to appeal to a wider audience. I expect that they were wanting more for the trailers than they are getting, and there are a few to come yet.
I don't know what shipping costs are like, but probably better than HR costs for hiring staff and having premises all around the country rather than one or 2 based in the east. I know that sucks for those in the west, but it could be worse, you could be in Tassie!

I can't remember if any of my vehicles have a tow ball???? I know they all have pintles! ;D ;D
You can only tow one No.5 at a time (legally) and I have both a No.5 and a Workshop, what I don't want is another trailer on full rego because they've given them a 1985 manufacture date.
I did put a couple of bids on, but not interested in bids above $609. Plenty more where they came from.
-
Went to Grays in Melbourne for a look
1st photo shipping docs clearly showing pickup Minto drop off Cheltenham, spoke to the guy he said they brought them down to see how it would go, if successful they would have more in Melbourne
2nd photo showing condition report from shipping, seems to have a couple of scratches on the paint!!!
3rd photo, lined up in shed, only small premises so not many vehicles
4th photo, sticker under pedals in footwell

Minto have been selling a few rolled Macks and Mogs, presumably for stripping down to components. As they have not been through Insurance claims, it is unlikely thes vehicles would be on the Written Off Vehicle Register (WOVR) and could presumably be re-registered should they be rebuilt to roadworthy condition.
It might suit someone to buy a $7000 Mog wreck and go with something like this:

Auctions have popped up in Minto NSW, Hamilton QLD, and Seaton SA so far.

I haven't seen the pic, but could it be an air pump for the tyres rather than a/c
Pete

Hi all,
I remember when I was posted to RMC in the late 80's and we had a hard top there that had aircon.
MICK
-
Wow Mick, thats good to know - thanks :)
Do you recall the colour ? The one I saw there recently was just Olive Drab... ie not camo
Cheers,
Pete
-
How interesting, that is NOT how she looked when I checked it out at AFM a while back, she has had some repairs done!
-
Hi Pete,
She was olive drab only. It was brand new when I saw here, and don't quote me but I vaguely recall talking about its price which was 96k .
We couldn't see the money ?
Cheers,
Mick

The evap (cab cooler) is above the back seat
-
Tommy, thanks. Nice to know I own a little bit of it ;)
I had a look at Brisbane today. The RFSVs are not as good as they look in the pics.
PM for details.
There was a couple of pleasant surprises, though.
One FFR is a Tenix rebuild
A GS is in very good nick under a tatty canopy.
The Snr Commander is in average nick. I think it is the last to go, isn't it?
Am seeing a pattern of not so good vehicles presenting with new canopies and CES/ extras as apparant sweeteners.
Caveat Emptor.
PM for info.
-
It also seems the spare tyre thing is just look of the draw, Some of the RFSV's in NSW have four spares, some 3 spares yet the item descriptions says 2, only.
I called clarity this, and they could not give me a proper answer, but any extra spares would be used on other vehicles if required? and not sold as single items.
Look at the Brisbane sales, and the item descriptions clearly says 3 spares, so thats what you get, and this corresponds to the pictures of the vehicles with 3x spares. So good on Brisbane.
Interesting to know that these are not as good as the Townsville ones, as you say Dave they look very good in the pictures, I am going to go and have a look on Monday I want to see how they compare with mine.
JB
-
The AC in a couple of the units would have been a local (possibly unauthorised) mod, certainly not something in the parts book, or across the fleet in any shape or form.
-
Juddy, the Sydney vehicle that you think has 4 spares only has 3, on spare an wheel has been seperated.
This vehicle is not in the same shape as ours.
Re: The veh in Bris with the spares and rear seat:
I'd rather buy the seat (not that anyone can use it) and wheels seperately and retain the pristine chassis that we have.
Cheaper in the long run.
The Bris RFSVs are Western Cape/ Gulf vehicles as opposed the the Cns vehicles we bought. Do you recall our conversation about the sealed/ unsealed road use ratio? These demonstrate it well!
Interesting to see that these vehicles made a trip down to Minto for pre-delivery and photos before returning to Bris for sale!?
PS, have fun finding you way into the yard where the vehicles are, it is almost as if they don't want anyone there!
Access via McArthur avenue (well signed on the front fence) into the yard past the Army water treatment trailers and around the back to the left. Keep driving all the way around and don't park your RFSV too close to the sale vehicles. You might cause confusion (or get an offer) ;)
Cheers, BDave.
-
Roger that Dave, good points made.
-
The ARN lists shows 4 senior commanders with nothing in their disposal column, so I suppose that meens theres 4 to be sold ?
Where did the Snr Comdr come from ?

Eric, I don't recall.
Will check in the next couple of days and report back.

Sounds like she's could still be there then ! Although there were a few Carryall's / Comd Vehicle that remained Olive Drab. CO 2 Sig Regt had one in 93/94 and I remember seeing a couple at Moorebank about 5 years ago.
It does appear to be a lot of money, but when looking at the price it's not just the vehicle. It would have included support costs and spares forecasted over its Life of Type.
Cheers,
Pete
-
Just looked at the inspection report for the carryall at Minto - they have it down as a two door, two passenger vehicle.... :o
I'd expect the compliance plate would be what the RTA would look at for rego...Has anyone looked at what a carryalls plate says ?

This vehicle does have A/C fitted, although I suspect the new owner will soon be familiar fitting new fanbelts as the pulleys are badly out of alignment and will throw belts readily. The plumbing for the A/C in the rear body is exposed and may not be "Family friendly".

I decided to have a dabble with the auction today and finished up scoring 48 964 an FFR with a devil riding a cannon on the doors. Anyone know what that is for? Pheeny would you be able to put 48 964 on my list thanks.
I'll pick it up on Monday and drive back to Kal hopefully with no dramas
-
Your truck also has a unit tac of 42 makes it 105 field battery :)

Thanks for that info. One of the guys at our depot is Kal is a Bombardier, he will be suitably impressed.

It's not a devil.
Google"Where the wild things are"
42 is an arty TAC but not sure about 105 FB.
I have seen that unofficial door logo before but can't place.

42 is listed as 105FB on the REMLR website looks like a Tassie devil to me :D

After a not uneventful trip 48 964 is now residing in Kalgoorlie. I've learn't quite a lot about the vehicle and the bidding process so when I go after the next one I hope to do well. This FFR drives beautifully considering I drove it out of the Minto yard and for 3400 K's almost non stop.
-
not uneventful
Hope all went well, I figure to negetives makes a positive??
-
Only problem was 2 blowouts due to the tubes rather than the tyres. The tubes on the left side were in poor condition. The lvehicle had been sitting for 2 years and I guess the sunny side copped a lot of heating and cooling.
They blew near Nullarbor and east of Madura resulting in the other half driving 800 K's to bring a couple of spares and me having a 24 hour camp out
-

I think you owe the other half big time!
good to hear mechanically sound only tube problem.

There will be a cost. Just buying it blew the brownie points. The radio batteries were still in place and one is charging at present. All the 24 volt system is in place so I will put the rest of the gear in including 77 sets and antennae

G'Day folks, I apologise for any concern over my apparant thread hijack. I wasn't being cheeky, I simply could not find a better place for the post.
Geoff has squared things away with the relocation into Vehicles for sale.

I worked out that it would cost me about the same to drive it down myself, so getting one carried down is a whole lot easier.

there is a nice ffr on greys at mino,it looks like it has been on the rebuild line and they have stoped it,thrown all the bits in the back and sent it to greys.
Looks like it would be a good buy.

I noticed that one too. It looks brand new :)

It appears to be a recent repatriation from service OS.
They are stripped to access all areas for cleaning. This one seems to be stripped to the next level, I haven't seen any before with the dash removed.
Perhaps AQIS found, like me, noodle packets and plant material in an IIMV after its return and immediate disposal from Timor L'Este and decided to increase the level of cleaning required.
Someone here is very interested, so maybe best to declare to prevent a Blue-on-Blue over it ;)
Cheers, Dave.
-
it has not been stripped but has been rebuilt as that is a new stearing wheel and all that shinny gal,
Thats is my guess

The ex SASR TD5s that were returned from Iraq/Afghanistan were so comprehensively stripped down by AQIS that they were deemed economically unviable to rebuild. All the dash, engine bay and lighting wiring was unbound, cut and high pressure washed.

Is there anyone able to pick up a no 5 trailer for if I win one at the Minto auction? Unfortunately I work at Warburton WA for the next two weeks and will be unable to go get it as I did with FFR 48 964 at the last auction. I'm about to have a long break and will fit the FFR out with 77sets to use with the cadet units I look after. Thanks to anyone able to help. Brian
-
Hi Brian
Wouldn't it be better to wait for an Adelaide or Perth auction? They would be closer to you.
However If you need it picked up at Minto I could pick it up on Friday.
Diana
-
Thanks Diana, I'll see how the bidding goes. I'd rather get one now from Minto and have the time to get set up for the new year. My new cadet job will have me going to Karratha and Port Hedland as well as Esperance, Kal and Perth. The FFR will be set up as a comms centre and there will be a fair bit of gear for me to carry. I've got the use of 49 505 and trailer when I require it but its a GS and I cant go sticking my radio gear etc in that Landi until it goes to auction and I buy it. That could be a while.

What's happened to all the cooks trailers? Are they all gone or is there still some in service?
No idea, however I still prefer the Haulmark PT1-1.2 http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0051-5008232/transport-trucks-and-trailers/haulmark-pt1-1-2-single-axle-cargo-trailer-mc2-06-2004 (http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0051-5008232/transport-trucks-and-trailers/haulmark-pt1-1-2-single-axle-cargo-trailer-mc2-06-2004)

.....and their A frame draw bars need some repair/replacement and the mudguard on the badly bent one also needs replacement :), but still, they have some potential for a buyer with the ability to repair them if the price stays low.
I guess that some trainee drivers have never backed a trailer before :)

Thanks Diana, I'll see how the bidding goes. I'd rather get one now from Minto and have the time to get set up for the new year. My new cadet job will have me going to Karratha and Port Hedland as well as Esperance, Kal and Perth. The FFR will be set up as a comms centre and there will be a fair bit of gear for me to carry. I've got the use of 49 505 and trailer when I require it but its a GS and I cant go sticking my radio gear etc in that Landi until it goes to auction and I buy it. That could be a while.
Won lot 54. I cant believe the prices these are going for

Yup, less than the price of the new tyres fitted to them, or even the RRP of the Hella taillights!

$409

Nice price, I'll be buying more from Melbourne if/when they come up next purely to get tyres/rims, especially ZXL's........

No, the background steel is rusty, but the numbers are fresh. Have a close look and none of the individual numbers are rusty except where they stamped in already bare, rusty metal. The VIN numbers are in sequence with other trailers offered in the same auction. For instance, this trailer (Lot 60) got given the VIN TR410094936. Lot 59 got TR410094937, Lot 56 is TR410094938, Lot 57 is TR410094939, and Lot 58 is TR410094940.

MIck,when registering a trailer for the first time in NSW it has to have a VIN. Even if you have a home-built they issue you with a VIN which must be stamped on before you get the "blue slip" (which is a raodworthy cert to allow registration). Since this requirement was adopted these newly issued VINs by the NSW RMS have the TR41000...... prefix.
In this case the blue slip issuer, (which is tied up with the selling authority) would have been issued with a block of VINs to use (maybe hundreds at a time).

Yes. Know all that. We have a similar system here in Vic. We call it a "R" number.
What I wondered about was, assuming the army had them stamped quite some time ago, why would the army need to stamp them? But, as 303Gunner has pointed out, they are recent stampings. Makes the question pointless.

there is a nice ffr on greys at mino,it looks like it has been on the rebuild line and they have stoped it,thrown all the bits in the back and sent it to greys.
Looks like it would be a good buy
did any one see what price it went for?
-
Stephen, it went for over 17 grand by memory, the similar condition one at Darwin went for over 12 grand.

I had put in a couple of bids this round on Darwin vehicles, with the idea that I would take a week off work, fly up and drive back. Nice idea, but didn't win anything.
But tonight, Cyclone Alessia (http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/nt-cyclone-alessia-to-hit-coast-sunday/story-e6frfku9-1226767108599) is forecast to hit the Darwin region. Bugger flying into that! Darwin's collection day is Wed, so I hope that people's vehicles are safe that they've paid for, and much more importantly, I hope all the Top End REMLR'ers are safe too.

Good day friends,
I am not sure if this is the correct place for this, Pengelly Truck Sales in Toowoomba are buying Mack tippers at the auctions and sending them to New Guinea.They have already sent one lot and they have another 3 tippers in their yard now. One of the ones in their yard now is just plain olive drab with the old original radial bar treads on, in fact it looks like it has just come out of a museum.

I picked up my 110 soft top last Tuesday, from Melbourne, it drove well I was really surprised on the 4 speed manual went a lot better then I thought it would, now its at the mechanics for rwc, all needs to be done is new a new pair of brake disc and a key ignition should get it registered at vicroads next week

there are lots of wrecks down at north bandiana , lots

I think these are far too wrecked to be fixed in house...
Last time I was down there there were stacks of brand new galvanised chassis, all stock for the BAE Systems re-build line. However that funding has gone so while the ability to repair still exists the funding doesn't.
I know of about three auto factories that will be available shortly! ::)
-
Some of those wrecks, seem like a good buy if only for the spares, but I would not want to pay more than 1500 grand for one....

In-house meaning at AFM Minto, not at Bandiana/Pucka/wherever the army stores the wrecks.
I wonder if those new chassis have numbers stamped already, if not would be perfect for my 110 :D

1500 grand
Juddy had me going on that one. lol
1500 grand = $1.5m
How many did you want....
Ok I agree 1500 - 2000 for a parts car, or buy two and make one - still seems OK

here is a lot that may interest some http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0005-3004459/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/strong-land-rover-110-4x4-cargo-soft-top-strong
ARN 49547. We have an archive photo of it in afghanistan, sporting some interesting bolt on's. We know that armor plating was fitted to a few of our 110's, and while none are in evidence in the 2 photos we have of this vehicle in afghanistan, there is an interesting plate bolted to the outside of the ROPS which appears to still be there in the auction photos.
THat same plate does appear on the photos we have of an armounred unit with armor bolted to it (or so it appears). we have no details of the armor kit as it is a defence modification, not land rover, but interesting none the less. We have a couple of photos of these armored landies, but certatinly no details, and only the registration of this one with the plates, but no armor bolted on.

Nice, un-modified example of 70's built rear lighting style, and also rare to see with the duck-bill tow pin still in place. Good score!
-

If you are able to I would very much appreciate it. I need to give the 110 a good service as its an 8000 km round trip. At least I know the way having just driven 48964 home.
-
Do you want me to shorten the journey?
I need to add som Ks to the D4 before the end of March lest I put myself in another FBT bracket, I could perhaps take it to Wagga Wagga or even Mildura and you can take it on from there. The fuel is in the lease.
I am on leave from Christmas Eve till the 5th Jan.

I am chasing the prices off that last sydney auction; it ended when I was on shift. I'd like an old number 5 trlr. In the morning of sale day the prices were from 400 to 600. And how much were the panel van 110 at the end?
-
409 to 609. I paid 609 for mine. There didn't seem to be any one bidding at the last minute as they all closed at 1645 your time.
Brian. Must be 13 years since I faxedyou the REMLR form with LRPV. How time flies.

Thanks Brian. Looks like I should bid at the next one, i just paid more than that for an electric bill.

That could work, although I was hoping to run the trailers two-up on my electric braked float, so we need to work out what Brian (B 52) is planning to do about rego or UVP on one of the trailers for the rest of the journey.

I could assist with the Adelaide to Pt Augusta part of the journey and storage between if required.

Hi to you all. I'm not due back at work until 7 Feb so anytime after Christmas I can head off across the Nullarbor. I'd drive the Mk 4 but I don't think the servo's would carry enough fuel.
I would like to thank all of you for any assistance with these trailers. Living in Kalgoorlie is great but it's a hell of a long way to anywhere east of here.
The plan is to set up the 110 FFR and 154 403 as a comms setup for cadet activities. The trailer will have 2 11x11's water jerries and stores and the FFR will have a UHF base station, 2 77 sets mounted in the vehicle (160 set I believe) and my comfy bed.I'm over sleeping on rocks. 33 495 will be attached to the 10LH FFR for the moment. I was looking forward to having a peek at Cookies shed but maybe another day if this goes according to Diana's plan. I have two trailers capable of carrying the no5's but will have to fit a lunette to one.

Hi there
Extending the invitation - if you need a place to say or make repairs I reside just out of Port Augusta (Wilmington)
Travel safe and enjoy

-
Measured up two trailers today and I'm pretty sure I can load both onto the deck of the float, so a more stable load at D4 speeds. If I go to Mildura they won't need Rego till they are out of NSW, however given that we have a blue slip a unregistered vehicle permit can be obtained before the journey.
I now have the dogs to look after till the 28th so can leave after that and be in Mildura on the 29th or any other day up to the 4th Jan.
Brian (and Scott) it's up to you to make the decision if you want me to do the trip. I happy either way.

Ohh, now that opens a can of worms!
Is an UVP issued to A Person, or for A Vehicle? If someone were to get a UVP in NSW for a vehicle and drive it (or move it on a trailer) to someone else halfway to then continue the journey, does the 2nd person require a new permit issued in their name?
And I understand a NSW UVP is not valid within WA.:

Lots of eastern state things are not legal in WA, HCRS for example. You'd think they were part of a separate country.
I don't need the trailers registered when they are a load on my fully registered float, but whomever takes them on will need the one riding on the road registered or on a permit.
AFAIK the permit is issued to the vehicle, at least thats what happened when I bought the SADF SIIB from Tasmania, the permit was arranged by the vendor which allowed me about a week to get it to Sydney. In any case I can operate as Brian's representative to the RMS under the same conditions as I picked up the trailers.
-
I have 2 trailers, 1.9 x 4.4 and 1.85 x 3.0. (internal) They should both be big enough to carry both trailers. Permits are issued to the vehicle rather than a person in WA and I'm sure SA and NSW would be the same. i'm adding a ball tow hitch and making an adapter for the electrics to 48 964 so that I can bring a trailer with me. My original thought had been to put one upside down on the other. What is the legality on towing one behind the other?
When I drove the FFR across I was told the one permit was valid all the way to my home address which was written on the permit. As it happened I had a valid permit for WA because I got one one prior to going to Sydney. They can be got online and a printed copy isn't required, just a record of the number.

Hi Brian
The 33-945 trailer is currently cohabitating with 154-403 and my 173-159 (just next to the buggy).
(http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m2/Auntikinus/Trailers/No-5/20131221_130403.jpg)
However we are a little concerned about the stability of two trailers one atop the other. Putting two trailers with the lunette on the deck we can push the two trailers together so there is about 2050mm between the axle centres. The length of a No.5 from the centre of the wheel to the tip of the lunette is 2267mm so as long as you have about 4300 from the back of the trailer deck to the behind the trailer ball coupling you should be able to double up the two on a trailer. My float is designed for 88" Landies with a 109 in an emergency, so provided it is longer tha mine you should be O.K.

Anyone else notice that they havent sold any 6x6 GMV's yet or Unimog Dumps.

Boxy, for a vehicle to be sent for disposal it must be one of two things；
Surplus to requirement
Replaced by a suitable substitute
Neither the GMV (LR) or the tipper are.
If you want a GMV style vehicle, I would reccomend the Canters. Plenty have come through and there will be more. They are in much better condition than any GMV that will be released.

Dave,
I dont want a canter 4x4 i have one out here that we take all over our national park. it goes most places but its a horrible ride on the dirt roads, finds bumps that the landcruiser dont.
I was just commenting generally that i havent seen any. In the six years i spent as an engineer in the reserves i saw a lot more mog dumps than i did mack dumps. I know the construction squadrons probably had them
Also i was checking out cookeys Mk3 on ebay to try and see what was in the corner(i have no idea) and there was an ad for the next auction in the corner that took me straight to the bid page on graysonline for a 6x6 Assault Pioneer, which is more of the one i want.

I notice that there isn't any blue slips listed against these.
In the current auction? Which vehicles? The 4x4s, 6x6s and No5 mostly do, it's just the incomplete/damaged 4x4s that don't have blue slips.

My bad. I thought they only attached the pdf of the slips...finally read the descriptions a little closer.

My guess was velcro as well, but for camo 'pads'. I think the poms had something similar on some of theirs (the snatch landys ?)
All of the above sound plausable though....

Why do a lot of the landies have B/S on the front pencilled in ?

Why dont they sell land rovers with trailers any more?

When using the same equipment as your 'enemy' during operations everyone uses IR velcro 'colours' to identify teams etc. So makes sense that vehicles get the same treatment in larger operations?
-
IR has become pretty vital in modern Ops. There have been friendly fire incidents and to minimise any mis-identification between US and UK etc. Those guys piloting-by-remote the ever-present drones are in the States and... satellites look down...

Why dont they sell land rovers with trailers any more?
And what has happened to the cooks body works trailers? Are they all sold off or some still in service?
AFM don't actually know what is coming up for auction, what happens is that in the month or so before an auction DDA start delivering them vehicles and trailers that they put into one of the upcoming auctions. Not everything at Minto etc, will be sold at the next auction. e.g. when I picked up B52's last trailer before Christmas they had just been delivered a Haulmark MC4 20 Ton heavy plant trailer. That trailer is not in the current auction.
If you want a Cooks, a friend bid on and won 2 at an earlier auction, one will be surplus to need. If he sells it he was going to ask $2,500, or that's where he would start the bidding on eBay.

$2300 for a No5 trailer and buyers and gst

looks like 17 construction but it appears to be a sticker rather than painted on same with the xmas tree hope the new owner is on here so we can get some close up pics for the markings thread.

Still 3 to go at 5.38 pm

It appears that a lot of bidders suffered with auction fever this time around judging by what people paid for some of the stuff. $2300 for a trailer is not a record 2400 was forked out for one back in April last year, it makes my $409 trailer look more like a bargin. With the GST and 6% auction fee the $2300 trailer turns into a $2600 trailer I would rather put my money into a Cooks or a Trak trailer for that sort of money.
Cheers

Congratulations Dervish and welcome to REMLR.
Are you aware that you have purchased Perentie #10 supplied to the Army?
It seems that it has new rear quarter panels or tub, as it is missing the hasp and staple latch from the CES (storage) bins on the side.
Near new canopy, worth $1300.
Enjoy!

Thanks Dave,
I was aware that this is Perentie #10 - thanks to your excellent guide, actually. That is what first drew me to this particular unit - as well as the unusual auscam and good canvas. I had noticed that it is missing the three larger canvas tie-down points along the top of the tub, but I hadn't noticed anything else missing? :-\

Thanks Rod, I'm pretty chuffed with it. I was originally going to hang out for a RFSV, but I don't think prices were going to fall any time soon and realistically when I go touring I'm going to take the Defender anyway (so the nice bits would be wasted on me). So I have a dead simple no-nonsense GS - suits me down to the ground.
So, does anyone know why it has irregular camo?
Cheers,
Matt
-
Matt
The camo paint on your 010 looks fairly fresh and untouched. It also looks very neat (unlike many army Land Rover schemes) :). If Dave is correct in saying the tub appears to be a replacement, the pattern may be the work of an aspiring decorator/spray painter when repainting the entire vehicle. The canopy also looks to be new so maybe the vehicle has had a makeover.
I notice that there are a few scratches on your Landy. By the looks of it, there is white paint exposed under these scratches. Is this correct?
-
There was another parted out vehicle in the recent auctions with the skin from one side of the tub removed, perhaps it was parted out to repair those one, and repainted by AFM ??
-
Due to working, I missed what the wrecks went for.
Do we have a prices?
And anyone on here bought one?
If we get any in QLD would be worth buying one for spares up here.
-
Hi all
I think would be a good Idea to buy one wreck to have for spare parts, i do not know how many members are in nsw but i think will be just a small donation from every one, or my be approach the army or the sellers as a club who want to preserve the vehicles and need parts for the members military vehicles
-
Is remlr a non profit making organisation?
-
It probably would be. Do want to claim it as a tax deduction ??? sounds fair.

Juddy, average preice was $2000 except a Tenix FFR that appears to be a customs clean with minor damage to the LH wing.
It went for nearly $6K

Gday , I got one of the two 4 door hard tops at the xmas auction in Adelaide. Thanks to a few members on AULRO for more info. Mine was advertised as a Personnel Carrier but seems it might be a Senior Commander. A quick 39 hr drive back to Perth was uneventful except for a loose fanbelt and the tropical roof wanting to stay in South Aus. Unfortunately no GM120 or CES. There is a small fuel leak near pump, dripping on front diff - any ideas? Apart from that she drives like a dream. 89 000 km supposedly with no 120 to check but seems feasible with overall condition. Over the pits on Monday - fingers crossed. Are there any issues other West Aussies have had with licensing? Thanks. Paul
-
I am hoping for a Perth auction soon so I may get a wreck or two for parts or to build up a soft top.

Will the 6x6 LRPV be sold in Sydney or Perth ? when?
Stephen
There are no 6x6 LRPVs left in Perth (apart from the 3 retained by the SASR for display purposes). They have been sent east to be used by commando units.
-
Stephen, if and when, I would bet Sydney.
With East coast market more cashed up and high international interest a close international port is important.
Stuarts intel has the LRPVs coming to Cdo in Sydney.
It is not inconceivable that they may be passed onto Inf/Armour/Cav recon after being replaced by Hawkei.
Plan Beersheba is also muddying the waters of my scrying pond!
I think you might be guessing by now, the expected release date isn't anytime soon.
Start filling a bucket with your loose change and you will still have time to save up ;-)
To fill the gap, I have plans afoot.......
-
Gday BDave. Mine is the snr com about 3 or 4 posts up on this page. Posted by 303Gunner.(Thanks 303) Im sure there was another one in Adelaide with only about 2500km on it. That one exceeded my price limit quickly. Do you think there will be an auction in Perth with some wrecked vehicles to purchase? Obviously not snr com's. Thanks. Paul.
-
G'Day again, Paul ;)
Anything is possible, but it seems that AFM is mustering all vehicles to Sydney first, prepping them for sale than sending them where they expect a good result.
The recent damaged vehicles in Minto were all genuinly 'Incomplete and non-operational' with 1 exception. Others have sold in Minto and particularly Bris as such but were actually vehicles that had been stripped and cleaned for AQIS for re-entry to Oz after deployment.
AFM has stated that the 'Intention' is that the vehicles are not registered.
Given that the vehicles have not been registered with any RTA/ Transport authority, they therefore do not exist on any WOVR.
I'll leave the rest up to you.
Buying a couple for parts is a very good idea especially at the price they went for last week, 2 vehicles for the price of a 2nd hand engine and gearbox!
Any 6x6 owner needs to take particular care of their vehicle. Getting parts for them will be 'Interesting'!
-
It's a whole lot of Velcro strips. Reflective strips could be one reason, perhaps for a vehicular game of Laser Tag or Skirmish?
Do we still use miles equipment?
My guess was velcro as well, but for camo 'pads'. I think the poms had something similar on some of theirs (the snatch landys ?)
All of the above sound plausable though....
Pete
Saw another vehicle, spec. forces, deployed ME, that has the strips/patches: (big pic from 2004)

Gday Paulak, l took my Perentie up to Kosteras in Kalumunda, they are authorised to do inspections. You will need to have an immobiliser fitted, they can organize that as well. The thing is they have passed two Perenties that l know of. If your fuel leak is from a banjo fitting on a fuel line you may need a new gasket seal from Isuzu part no 9095720140 two per fitting. If l can be of any help 0417949894 Johno
-
Thanks Johno, I called my local inspection place and quizzed them. A car over 25 yrs old doesn't need an immobiliser fitted and he didn't seem fussed about it being keyless either. Did you leave all your blackouts intact? Paul.
-
Yes Paul, passed inspection just as it came out of auction. Total cost$954.60 however over 300 of that was plate fee and stamp duty. SMILE at the nice inspector man and comb your hair, good luck . Johno

Will the 6x6 LRPV be sold in Sydney or Perth ? when?
I have been told that they will not be auctioned off. I presume they will be stripped to parts or destroyed.
-
Phoenix, was there any justification for that decision?
It isn't like they used DU rounds and are contaminated.
Sounds like 'Policy' to avoid anyone using them anywhere else.

They had one that was just used for shows and recruiting as I drove it(was a few years ago]it had the xt600 I think will have to find the photo
-
Dave, I was not given any that I can recall, however I believe the latter is the case. Same for armour etc etc. I mean my shed would look dead sexy with an ASLAV and Bushmaster in it, but apart from the $$ , it isn't going to happen.
Also I really don't think they are finished with them yet (well all of the vehicles mentioned above)

in 1973 you could buy an operational Ferret, but I feel times have changed.

Hi Brian
The 33-945 trailer is currently cohabitating with 154-403 and my 173-159 (just next to the buggy).
(http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m2/Auntikinus/Trailers/No-5/20131221_130403.jpg)
However we are a little concerned about the stability of two trailers one atop the other. Putting two trailers with the lunette on the deck we can push the two trailers together so there is about 2050mm between the axle centres. The length of a No.5 from the centre of the wheel to the tip of the lunette is 2267mm so as long as you have about 4300 from the back of the trailer deck to the behind the trailer ball coupling you should be able to double up the two on a trailer. My float is designed for 88" Landies with a 109 in an emergency, so provided it is longer tha mine you should be O.K.
Diana
I made it back to Kalgoorlie with both trailers late last night without incident thanks to Diana and her mods to my trailer and her tie down efforts. 154 403 is 1971 vintage and belonged to 6 RAR 1971 to1976 before being shifted to 9 TPT SQN '76 to'97 then 2FD LOG Bn at Lavarack then to1 FLD REGT in Enoggera in June '07
33 495 was with 21 SupplyBn Moorebank from 1981 on.

Mick

Looks like the Vic auction has a slightly mangled "upgraded" RFSV.
-
What's the rules on imports to nz?
Mainly Quarantine issues, steam clean to Nth Degree.
As the vehicles have Aust Compliance, that is accepted in NZ so they should sail through rego. They go through a process called VIN'ing (much the same as NSW Blue Slip), then a Warrant of Fitness (roadworthy), and done.
NZ allows imports of 2nd hand vehicles from places like Japan, Aust and the US, either by an individual or by a dealer/re-seller, so these won't be an issue at all.
-
where are you seeing the Vic auction ?
-
where are you seeing the Vic auction ?
Good question, it was there last night :-\ I also can't see the NZ auction. Hopefully they'll reappear soon, AFM seem a little confused this round.
The RFSV still had the side bins and it looked like either the canvas had stretched or someone had gently reversed into a tree, pushing the rear ROPS hoop a little forward and creating slack in the canvas. It appeared that half of the roof cage was cut off? It had the dual rear wheel carrier.
-
The Auckland and Melbourne auction never came back up on Greysonline - any clues?
-
Not on Grays NZ either?
http://www.graysonline.co.nz/type.asp?TYPE_ID=101#41
Maybe is ONLY a showroom. not an Auction?
-
If you go to AFM's own website, and look under 'Showrooms, it still lists Minto, Brisbane and Auckland.
I reckon the Auckland auction will start next month.
Listing only the three makes a bloke wonder if the other cities that have had auctions are now going to miss out?
-
I thought the AFM showed Feb 22 as the NZ auction on the NZ showroom?

I believe that the only 4WD hardtop being offered at Minto is a wagon which looks like it's been in a heavy rollover, like what they term "incomplete and non operational".
Are there any 5 door 4WD station wagon types left to dispose of apart from this one ?

Lot 44 (Minto) is interesting, a GS with an ambo snorkel. Or at least the type of snorkel I've only ever seen on ambos?

Minto or the victorian auction? It is just a bracket to raise the air intake and protect it from water ingress a little. I'm sure I have seen these on the 4x4 before, but now i'm not so sure!

48 030 is up with signs of rebuild
Minto
48 033, well used but original. still has the hasp and staples
RFSV has had major work done. near original spec. Ha, The side brush bars are now 'Side Rail intrusion bars'!! LOL they are intrusive if you bang your shins on them!
And yes, the Wagon is a little worse for wear.

Is anyone else looking for a No.5 trailer this time? Seems they still have some :)
I am guessing the autobidding option was responsible for the last auction prices where things got strangely high on one or two.

This is more than just sitting in a depot, but it is very co-incidental that they are all very close overall, and indicates that they have not each gone off to random postings, they seem to have followed in each others footsteps since rebuild. Would they have been driven from Tenix at Bandiana to say Melbourne, then later moved to say Brisbane on road, or would they have been shipped by truck? Beside a shakedown following rebuild, what else would they have done?

Copy the url and change the lot number.

I seem to be having a nasty case of Friday brain because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that. Can you post a link for the RFSV?
-
There is a unimog in the NSW auction that is one of the damaged ones that seems to be a very low ARN, in fact very near to the trials 4 ton trucks that we know of in the 30-xxx range

Is that the one with a 1/83 build date Richard ? I thought it was a very early date... earliest I've seen ...

It's only like some of the Worksop boys who have a shed full. Time for a perentie museum

On an unserious note,some of us wksp mob,had a collection of all variants of vehicles,in our sheds awaiting parts etc for repair.On a serious note I too would love a Regional surveilance vehicle and a GMV and the RPS store to enable supplies for repair.On a reality note I have to get 178058 on the road........Dreams arnt taxed yet???

Yep, that appears to be another Afhganistan landy. The sticker reads " Force Support Unit" (top) and " TK " (bottom). The TK is an abbreviation of Tarin Kowt.

Especially the chassis around the rear trailing arm mounts.

Have we had any 6x6 Crew Cabs through the auctions yet?

no crew cabs yet, or GMV's or LRPV's. they will go for crazy money

I hope the people that want a Crew Cab have crazy money ready then...
I saw one this morning at Minto :-X

Was it on the other side of the fence?? I always try and have a look at whats in stock

Indeed it was, I actually snapped a sneaky photo of it too.

Juddy - if the one you showed goes at 17K, what will this one get?????????

More than I can afford :-\

rfsv I was looking at in Canberra on sunday, there was two and both had new front tail shafts, no spares on the back. and will be in the unit till next year.

I couldn't see any RFSVs or low ARNs out there.

Dervish, a man after myt own heart!
Nice work.
An interesting selection of vehicles, indeed.
Those MBikes look like 250s (SASR)
-
Is anyone else looking for a No.5 trailer this time? Seems they still have some :)
I am guessing the autobidding option was responsible for the last auction prices where things got strangely high on one or two.
Yep, I'm keen to take one home but I guarantee I won't get auction fever like those ones.
-
Previous LRs and Trailers have had a discreet AFM chrome badge stuck on them, which could be removed easily by the new owner if desired.
A new development on one of the Unimogs is a large door decal for AFM, not as discreet as the chrome badge, it's a bit "in your face". I wonder if this is going to harder to remove? And will we start to see them on the Landies?

Apparently they had this Mog a GS and the RFSV at the Wandin field days over the weekend, so it was used as a promo for the upcoming Melbounre sale

I had a look on Saturday - of the complete ones I think you would leave lots 35 & 37 out of your calculations :)

I think you're too late Cliffy, the open days were Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. The auction finishes this afternoon. I plan to attend all the Minto auctions, so if you or anyone else wants me to look over any of the future offerings and take photos I can do so.
I might recall something about the lot you're looking at, but unless it is one of the perentie wrecks it's unlikely.

"7" number stamp mislaid that day ?
Sorry - I haven't got any serious info about it but it's interesting, the ARN is later in the series, I had a look the other day and it has a bit of rust and the tyres are all sprayed with the letters "RU" - whatever that means - I crossed it off my list.

The VIN is consistent with 1986. I have no idea what it is, but 10/86 is an interesting month...
-
Nope, the 86 plate is somewhat of a mystery, 07.1988
-
And I have decided that a Survey vehicle would suit me, so if anybody has a spare, i'll come and collect it ;D

RU - rooted units!?

another minor interesting thing we saw was that two of the Cargo units at Minto (49-405 and 51-451) had keyed ignition
-
Grays are trying to wring more money out of the units buy getting their mechanics to replace missing items.
They are also trying to re-construct the non-ops as much as practical.
Makes sense as the sell prices start to drop further.
Yeah I missed the boat on this auction.
Maybe the next one, or the next one, or the next one, or the....

$3,209 for the busted Haulmark 750kg! Wow, I reckon whoever bought that didn't realise it was stuffed. Heck, there was a perfect Cooks on eBay for $1600...

Hi all I wonder how many of the bidders checked out what they were bidding on in this auction, I would guess not that many. I think Juddy might back me up on this statement when I say that the vehicles on offer in Brisbane this auction a very low standard I would say that they were almost the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel. The prices that were bid on these vehicles are over the top for what they were. And as for Minto the vehicles were a lot higher quality but as for the prices they were completely over the top as shown in the example below. I think people are forgetting these vehicles are almost 30 years old and have been well used.
Cheers

Who ever purchased lot 3 in Brisvegas might be sorry they paid so much as it has spent most of its life on Thursday Island. Has already had rust repaired and there is plenty of signs of more to come. It appeared to have plenty of salt damage.

I have no idea why lot 28 went for that money. It presented well in person at first glance - less so as you looked harder, and was essentially the same as the one I paid $6,509 for. I don't think anyone got a good deal this round.

Not correct Dervish Greys and AFM all walked away smiling from this madness. O well I will try again next time 3rd time lucky

I was tempted to buy one of the wrecks (0042) but with $2k freight on top not worth the chance of a busted motor/box.

Wow that is expensive, was it a rebuild?
-
The BNE Perenties were like Hot Rover said, getting near the bottom of the Barrel. 2/3 were fair to good the rest poor compared to what we have seen before, but if those price are a average of $7000 plus GST and the Fee, then $8120 is still a ok ish price.
It was very Interesting the people who were viewing on the day had no clue as to what was good or what was bad, and some even said wow these are in good condition for a old land rover. Funny too as I parked mine at the end of the sale row, and people thought it too was for sale.
It also seems that most buyers of these Perenties, do not give a monkeys about the history of the vehicle what were the correct fittings, kit etc, they just want a old army Land Rover, to bash about in.
One chap who i talked to is a painter, we looked at the 6/89 GS A rebuild and I said that would be my bet, just had a call from him he won it. do we know what that one went for?
-
Sometimes biders get excited about a vehicle, that is why being a seller at auctions can be great with the right buyers on hand!

Quick question, why are different bull bars fitted to the same variants?
The Survey at BNE

I noticed this also at the BNE sales some GS's were fitted with shall we say the basic bar, as per the Survey at NZ, and others the same bar as the BNE Survey, what reason to fit different bars, and no bar was ever designed for a particular variannt ?
-
Because the old bar wasn't much good for anything, and the new ones are stronger and offer better protection. However, not all vehicles got the updated bar fitted.
-
Thanks Gunner. :)

$9,009.00 is pretty steep but $19,009.00!? I honestly think that may be a ten thousand dollar mistake.

second highest bidder went to 18,209, 3rd highest 12,009 so was a real bid...........
-
Three of the Perenties were sold to bidders from Minto. Also, a bidder from Minto pushed the RFSV up too. My conspiracy theory? AFM are now competing for lots, pushing the prices up.
Either that, or there are now some happy, multiple Perentie owning, people in Minto. :)

I know at least one Land Rover enthusiast who lives in Minto. So just because a bidder is in Minto doesn't mean its AFM.
-
Although not too clear it was a tongue in cheek comment. I don't really think AFM would do anything like that, but it sure would explain the prices :)
-
I asked somebody at AFM about a trailer that did that at an early auciton, and went for about $2k plus. I asked if there was gold in the drawbar and the comment was that it was simply a bidding war between two people.

It looks good don't get me wrong, no idea what condition it is in looks like all
New stuff and a reprint .
This will only help flm achive higher sales as this will get people thinking there worth high money , is this a I side get the price high scam or genuine bidding, never seen one jump so fast on day one.

what about the ffr 7,209 already
what is going on! it's the first day not the last day of the auction..............
-
Gets me thinking where are they all going?
Are they all going to enthusiasts or speculators?
-
Would any one on here pay this kind of money? most on here think there worth less than 8k, like I said 90% of the people have spoken to are just average Jo wanting a old army Land Rover, but some will have been silent watches on here and other forums, and might think the special variants are well worth the money....

Get me outta the crap with my Missus.
Greg Mac.
-
I reckon 27k when done!
-
And fast on the heels of the silly first bidding we have RFSV number 2, that was a good buy at its lower bidding price, but those who thought 18k was stupid are now upping the bidding on this one, looks a good one, but 12/14 Max in the real world, but as we know this is not always the real world, 18k for this one....
-
How do you put the NZ sale LR's into watched items ?
-
Three of the Perenties were sold to bidders from Minto. Also, a bidder from Minto pushed the RFSV up too. My conspiracy theory? AFM are now competing for lots, pushing the prices up.
Hmmm - illegal?
I know at least one Land Rover enthusiast who lives in Minto. So just because a bidder is in Minto doesn't mean its AFM.
Or could be on behalf of Foreign Bidders, who would require an agent with a local address to register with AFM/Grays, yet have the vehicle held in Bond to be GST free for export? I understand that at least a couple of vehicles have already gone overseas, but I have never seen an Overseas bidder's address in the bidding history. Perhaps Grays have set up a system to bid by Proxy for overseas buyers?
Do we think they are overpriced? The AU$ has dropped against the UK Pound, the US$ and NZ$ in recent months, making any purchase accordingly discounted in foreign currency.
-
Should be a banned export ;D
-
Vic closer to WA but being able to rego in NSW and drive back still looking good ::)
Sad thing is the ARN's I'm waiting for (WA units) will probably be railed East and require $$$$ to get them back here.
FFR MAN, I may take you up on that offer!
-
The personnel carrier 48 352 we used at Bindoon not long ago. WA ones must be going east
-
Yeah mate they are.
The have been spotted in the rail yard in Forrestfield ages ago.macs and mogs.
CSB mates recon same.
I might ring my contact at WA greys and find out if they know of any auctions on the horizon.
Palmer barracks has quite a few parked up out the back as well.
Might have to see what the go is with them.

Hi All
I have been up all night pondering the problem at hand and I have come to this conclusion. Due to climate change the atmosphere is increasingly becoming warmer which is going to cause the end of the world as we know it. So I went out to my shed in the early hours of the morning and gazed into the windscreen of my now very valuable series 2a (due to the rarity of it. I have worked out the value of my 2a looking at what clowns are prepared to pay for a vehicle with less rarity. ) and I turned towards Solihull, fell to my knees and prayed to the Land Rover Gods. After this life changing episode I walked away with some clarity on the problem.
The prediction is that we are all going to die and the world is going to end at 4.20 PM AEDT 26/02/2014, so we all have to bid like crazy because if you purchase one these SUPER ROVERS you will survive Armageddon. So you all have been warned do something to protect yourself and your families.
Listen to what I have to say I have looked in to the eyes of the GODS.
-
It does make you wonder, why the values of the older Series land rovers are still low compared to these, but the fact of the matter is, most buyers what a newer vehicle that is reliable, the Perentie fits the bill perfectly.
Series Land Rovers are looked upon by most as old classic vehicles, and as such are not very good as a every day vehicle.
-
Hot Rover.. It's OK. Just keep taking the tablets.
-
Rightio you blokes .... can someone talk me around the reasons this Cargo went for that money please?
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0028-5009036/
Someone added a 1 to the front of that bid by mistake maybe?
$9,009.00 is pretty steep but $19,009.00!? I honestly think that may be a ten thousand dollar mistake.
second highest bidder went to 18,209, 3rd highest 12,009 so was a real bid...........
Wow! right you are. Crazy price.
-
No inside cab or engine bay pictures on the 4x4 ones!!!!
-
Must be people who have bought my book!
;)
My money is on the canvas from the other being swapped for the canvas on this rebuild.
My opinion is this W'Mission kit is loaded up to push the 'RFSV'average price higher.
-
Graysonline seems to have gone offline??
anyone else having trouble?
-
Yep Could be Dave, They might want more for them, so get a high price and lead with it on future sales....
-
Yeah, couldn't see them on my work PC but ok on the iphone

Yeah, couldn't see them on my work PC but ok on the iphone

Went to Melbourne today for inspection the worry is the type of people looking, my summary is:
I recon they'll all go too dear - plenty of DH's looking today that just want a bush basher, they'd start them up with hand throttle all they way in, cold as and they wouldn't idle smooth so you'd hear them say oh that needs a tune up - another one wouldn't start because they didn't glow the plugs - they recon they flooded it by pulling the choke out ie the hand throttle! go figure........do they really kow what they are looking at?
Mostly poor to average condition, definately moving the lower end out first.
The RFSV Lot 9 and 10 both looked about the same, good honest vehicles - make the jerry cans expensive on Lot 10
cheers
-
Has this one got air-con? :o

4 x 60 aircon - Lol
sorry didn't look - I'll have a look Monday when I go back again..............
-
Good work ffrman. I thought the same about the rfsv both the same the 2 extra rims and the cans add the value heaps ( not ) .
-
Thanks for the heads up FFR man.
I'll be waiting to see what the final frenzie brings!

I actually took a different view. There were a lot more people at today's "open for inspection" while most will only have seen the Perenties for the first time today and don't have the wealth of knowledge you have. I showed a few people today how to start the Perenties correctly and they had plenty of questions.
I think the pick of the crop was the 6x6, if anyone is interested this one looks in new condition right through, the whole vehicle a great example of one that has little use.

HI, yeah I helped out a few as well, helped one bloke for about half an hour and gave him a run down on the vehicle he was keen on. Plenty of others didn't know what to look for but kept to themselves - just hope for their sake they don't buy something they are disappointed in when they take it home and get a RWC
cheers

I see there's some Australian bidding interest in the NZ Auction!

-
There's been at least one sold at an earlier Minto auction that had this setup, the compressor appears to be the same as that in the civvie county of the era.
-
I see the bidding on the $18900 RFSV is still going hard. I watch with dibelief. I must be good to have a lazy 20000 lying around.
Cheers

Bidding on the trailers has slowed up. Must be a reality check

Doh, I've crapped out again :(
Still plenty more to go ;D
If I could get one from Darwin I' could kill 2 birds with one stone one the drive down. ;)

I now have a job (subject to confirmation).
Be prepared for some spirited bidding in the final minutes.

Bugger. The bidding is now reflecting what I am interested in.
The serious bidders are now coming on line.

Looks like there'll be a lot of happy campers after that Melbourne auction
There's often a few questions as to what they sold for so here it is - as a dump from the graysonline site

Hi to all
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce The Ram Rod to the forum. I was lucky enough to have a win th the Melbourne auction to day. The Land Rover Gods smiled on me today. The secret to winning is simple, I arose this morning after the auction had played on my mind all night again with a vision so I climbed to the top of the firey volcano on the edge of town and I sacrificed 15 virgin to the God of Land Rover. I left the mountian a winner. Give it a go.

Looks like there'll be a lot of happy campers after that Melbourne auction
There's often a few questions as to what they sold for so here it is - as a dump from the graysonline site
Sydney, Brisbane & Melbourne in that order if the post is pointless or too big moderator please feel free to remove it :)
No problems its the sort of thing people want in this thread ;D

Ah! So you outbid me!
Well won sir.
I think I'll wait for some if my "tagged" units to come up for sale.
Might be waiting a while though..:

Sorry about that Cliffy. Rest assure that it has gone to a good home. Maybe we need an area in the members only area call what am I bidding on so we are not going to war with each other.
Cheers Rod

Nah man all good!
You got the pick of the litter!Congrats!!
I'm a tight @rse so I'm destined to loose a lot more auctions ;D
-
Any one else purchase a vehicle this time around?
I to was being a tight arose Clify but I realised you will get nowhere being like it other than disappointed and bitter.
-
Well done HotRover, It is a great vehicle - RAMROD!
Well I'll put my hand up, after much dissappointment in missing out on a Tarin Kowt vehicle in the December auctions I made sure I got the one this time.
So I now own 48-664
Now got to sort out the logistics of getting it home without a certain family member working out what's going on! might need to strategically place it in amongst a few series 3 and 2A's and "hide" it for a while! Lol
Will be driving it and the FFR to Corowa, just need another driver, oh yeah my son's a steerer I'll transfer him to my fleet for the weekend!
Regards
Scott

Send it to Qld and I'll mind it for ya.

Well done Scott I didn't see you at the auction. Now we know what you wanted the ignition lock for. The reality of the last couple of days hasn't sunk in yet I woke up this morning feeling a bit flat as I have been living on the edge consumed bu auction fever, I will have to find something to to fill the day in now I can't keep checking the auction out. Might run into you on pickup day.
Cheers Rod
-
Never get bitter loosing auctions unless I find out that there was shill bidding going on or the auction mysteriously ends as the vendor had a BIN offer and decides to take it instead of letting the auction run it's course.
I still would love to drive a vehicle back West so a Minto vehicle is the go anyway (blue slip).
Well done FFRMAN! You got your pick too!
-
If anyone needs something picked up from Minto, I'm off next week so can run down to Graysonline and pick it up. Getting a bit experienced with this now!

Hi there
might need to strategically place it in amongst a few series 3 and 2A's and "hide" it for a while! LOL
I do the same..........but I now have a problem now how to extend the shed without confessing what is within!!
I am happy for you all, as they are still a very capable machine - and excited as its a turning of the tide after the previous series Military auctions (2A's etc.)

Congratulations on the purchases guys, Enjoy them 8)
They should be in the DB now as well ;)

Trailers only at Minto, seems they don't think it's economic to reposition them to other sites, pity, I am after a Haulmark 750kg. But the 2 x No5's made very good money in Melb last time..........

Looks like nothing interesting this round in Vic. One of the GSs has its build date incorrectly listed as Nov 1980 - VIN says 1988-89.

That's funny. All I see is a Cardboard Box. someones twigged to the sneeky peekers.

The cardboard box is in good condition for 25 years old!
Good call Greg, I think the cat's out of the bag on the sneaky peekers.........
-
Given the discussion around it in such a public foum, it's not that surprising really!
Oh, and the box appears if no photos have been uploaded yet ;)
-
I don't think Grays would care much about a bunch of anoraks watching their sales, as anoraks do. Photos are up, a few good looking examples are present.
-
Do you recon they'd even care about sneaky peekers?
The more interest that is drummed up the better.
As long as they have gone to reasonable lengths to keep the auction fair.
Itching to see what's on offer!
-
Beat me to it!
-
ah ha, I see Land rovers again. My life is almost complete.

Hi all, first post.
The Victorian sale which I'm hacking my way into in the approved way doesn't mention green (pink? Purple? Whatever) slips or whatever the Victorian equivalent is. Do the vehicles in states other than NSW come with roadworthy certificates?
Cheers
Charlie

To see the Minto one would I type in 5009444 instead of 3005075?

Welcome to REMLR Charlie! Unfortunately they don't - the only vehicles to come with anything are the NSW vehicles with a blue slip.

Yep, but it's not up yet. The QLD auction is though; there's a suspiciously familiar character on one of the Perenties... Mick?

There is a dual cab 6X6 at Grays at Minto, whether it will be in the current auction I know not

Thanks Dervish - probably not a bad thing. Flying to Queensland or SA to inspect might be a bridge too far for the other half...

SA is up, there are some brilliant examples there. This round is looking to have a collection of some of the best GSs and FFRs we've seen. Hopefully Minto is the same!

Minto up - 100 lots! A mammoth auction. Mick has already visited the showroom and drawn his AULRO avatar on some of these ones too:
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0021-5009444/
-
Landys galore , 6x6 for parts too.
-
And they're off! In typical Minto fashion, within the first minute of the auction a rather average looking FFR shoots to $5700 while every other Perentie remains untouched...
Madness.

Rather average maybe, but the odo is commensurate with hours, so for those a fair distance away it looks like it could be a rebuild...
Plus it has those most awesome howlers of tyres fitted, that makes it worth at least $75 more valuable than one with steeltreks!

So appart from NSW, who can give me the low down on busses in the other states (ie, who's going down for a sticky beak?)?

While being spoilt for choice is great, the close proxomity of the auction finish times might make things interesting!
Esp. with the way the auctions continue on if bidding does not cease! :o

BNE Sales Inspection
10000 Million times better than the last bunch of drop outs. Only 2/3 that were very bad. The 3 6x6, one looked like it had never been used, every part was like new, no idea if it had been rebuilt, as every part looked new, the other 2 were also very good, all had the seed screens, and canvas light covers, plus jerry cans. also one had a Hilift Jack

I've just gone into Perentie sensory overload!
So appart from NSW, who can give me the low down on busses in the other states (ie, who's going down for a sticky beak?)?
Had a bit of a look around at the Melbourne offerings this morning. The worst of this lot are probably better than the pick of the previous bunch. A few of the FFRs were particularly nice. No complaints there.
A couple of the six by sixers were pretty much factory new. Not even a scratch. My sister who happens to be looking for a seven seater SUV to deploy her kids and their mates to school came along and took a bit of a shine to an IIMV ::). I managed to talk her out of it so I reckon the brother in law owes me.
-
I went down to the Melbourne Inspections this morning at Grays. Not many lookers this time, the 110's were in ok condition but yet again there are some fabulous 6x6's that are almost brand new and in pristine condition. One had 77km's on the odo and was in pristine condition so would be genuine and another with 280km's. Does anyone know why these have not been used and the history behind them, have they been in storage or just made it into service before DOD decided to move from Land Rovers to Merc's ??

I'm in adelaide , hopefully going to have a look tomorrow... but need a little advice on what would be a good price on one of the 4X4 FFR's and the cargo's ?
Regards

-
Matty, I reckon with new tyres, good tarp , winch ,nice interior, ie seats match & good cond( check under floor mats near firewall for rust), neat engine bay, no damage underneath or leaks and under 100,000 km with hrs to match, $9500 tops. However if it is exceptional and you really want it, some blokes will double that.There have been some good ones that have gone for less than $8000. Good luck John.

Went to the adelaide inspections today .... nothing was a real stand out for quality regarding the FFR 's and the cargo's , to be honest i was a little disappointed in the quality... i did however take a look at lot number 4 , a 6 x 6 infantry carrier .. this thing was clean...! 159 k's on the clock , 11 hours.. so clean the front galv inners guards shine.. as do the rear rails . under bonnet is lovely and clean , still with paint markers on hose clamps , oil cap etc etc ( noice....! but out of my budget range )
Buy we can all dream hey :) so here she is , a few phone pic's .

Not sure any of them would be new with those kind of milage after this many years, more likely rebuilds. If you have seen the photos of those rebuilt, they are in essence, brand new again.
-
What Phoenix said ^^
These are Bushranger 2 rebuilt vehicles, TGM120 tells the tale.
AS new, not 'war stock'.
I reckon $30-35k. Bargain for a rough country 2tonner!
Dave.
-
Noticed that there are a lot of 110's that have their wiring harnesses stripped of the binding tape. Would this have been done for AQIS inspection on return from deployment?
Even some of the wrecks have this 'feature'.

:) Hey Brian, glad its gone to one of us, but won't it cost you as much again to freight?
-
I have been too busy and too broke to worry about the auctions. How are the prices in general this time around?
-
Mr Gray has learnt a lesson not to flood the market with too many 6x6s at once; prices much lower, especially for the "New" examples.

Juddy, if you save the index page of the auction before it finishes, then afterwards you can go back and check for yourself. Its very easy to do.

I think there were some good deals everywhere this round, I would be surprised if we didn't get more REMLR/AULROians joining the Perentie owner crowd very shortly :)

I think there was something not right as all it was missing was the boot around the gear stick and the centre console that the rifle buts sit in and it was a non goer.
the winner was M.P from Minto, sounds all a bit suspect to me.

You can go back and look at any auction listing after it's finished. The easy way is to "Watch" the item in your Grays login, but even if you don't save it, the pages you visit will stay in your browser's history for up to 3 weeks. Every time an auction finishes, it seems there is a rush of "what were the prices like? posts. Look in your history, it keeps the pages you've viewed.

Looks like mine at the back and on the driver's side, completely different elsewhere. Interesting how black the black bits are. From the drive flanges, it looks like they're not even taking the wheels off to spray them now.

I'm moving towards buying a Perentie station wagon, probably after this current round of auctions.
How many versions of this were made? I seem to recall the standard one, and a "Senior Commander"version?
I'm also hoping to get one with a winch already fitted - anyone know if there were many of these? Or how hard is it to fit a winch of the same style to one without the original winch?
Did the Perenties run PTO or electric winches when fitted?
And finally, can anyone help with ball park prices these have sold for in previous auctions?
-
G'day, I've put some answers in below.
I'm moving towards buying a Perentie station wagon, probably after this current round of auctions.
- How many versions of this were made? 2
- I seem to recall the standard one, and a "Senior Commander"version? Yep, standard is the "Personnel Carrier" variant.
- I'm also hoping to get one with a winch already fitted - anyone know if there were many of these? The Senior Commanders (~11 vehicles) had winches, the Personnel Carriers (~38 vehicles) did not.
- Or how hard is it to fit a winch of the same style to one without the original winch? Not hard if you can find the bits. I haven't seen any ex-Perentie winches for sale yet though.
- Did the Perenties run PTO or electric winches when fitted? The Perenties were all PTO (as far as I'm aware)
- And finally, can anyone help with ball park prices these have sold for in previous auctions? Ballpark? $18-20K going from memory, I haven't been keeping records as some on this site have though

G'day AJ. Agree with everything that Dervish said (I think he has my Buyers Guide;-) ).
I'll add；
By our count there are only 1or2 SC left, one belongs to AFM and is their promo vehicle.
There are only a handfull of the Carryall left.
There have been a couple of complete PTO winches come up on Ebay. Expect to pay ~$2000 for a gc unit.
Only the TD5 wagons released a couple of years ago had Warn Electric winches, all true Perenties only have the Thomas PTO unit. It is almost bullet proof, featuring a torque limiting clutch.
Give me a 66kilowatt winch that I can't break, anyday!
Prices for Carryall are as Dervish quoted (inclusive of fees and charges), SC fetch a couple of grand higher than Carryall. My sorted and registered Carryall is going for $23K.
Cheers, Dave.
-
G'day AJ. Agree with everything that Dervish said (I think he has my Buyers Guide;-) ).
I do, and I wouldn't recommend inspecting/buying a Perentie without it! The numbers I quoted are off the Wikipedia page for the Perentie though - so freely available; I don't want to be stepping on people's toes by blirting out someone else's intellectual property.
There have been a couple of complete PTO winches come up on Ebay. Expect to pay ~$2000 for a gc unit.
I've got to pay more attention...
-

A couple of ways to skin a cat; there have been a couple of wrecked vehicles with winches that have gone for around $2000-$2500. For that money, you get more than just a winch, enough "unobainium" parts to keep your wagon on the road for years

Hey Dave when chatting the other day I made a mistake regarding the AFM press fleet wagon, it is a Personel Carrier not Senior Commander. No winch or aerial brackets...but does have air con above the back seats.
-
Thanks for the feed back everyone.
I know the Thomas PTO from my old Land Rover days, and yes, I know it is almost unbraeakable!
Getting a wreck would be a great idea, but I would end up being single rather than married!!!!!!

Remember the old trick - tie the winch cable to a strong branch half way up a tree, then winch the landy up the tree and swing it from a branch! Love to see someone do it with a Perentie...........

That one isn't too hard to tell, LOTS to come!
If you look at the ARN's list, whilst not complete, lists the bulk of the perentie build vehicles and many of the Bushranger build ones
-
Oh, and on types of 4x4, Senior commander almost all are through, only some personnell carryall and a couple of survey. Plenty of GS and FFR and a few RFSV to go, SRV are probably unlikely to make an appearance at all.

plenty 6x6?

I do know this is a constant work in progress, Richard, but the header page for Perentie ARN's starts off with:
"To date it is believed that only 36 Perentie 110's have been released to the public."
I could be wrong, but I think that is now a bit dated?

121 lots!
A pair of senior commanders, both in pieces. 51-658 RFSV in good nick described as a cargo...

Hopefully someone buys an FFR wreck with a good canopy and sells it to me :)

If the log books are NOT listed, they are not there! It's taken me some time to clarify, but some of the higher priced units in Bris do NOT have log/service books with them.
Not sure if the info can be dug up from somewhere else, but it has put me off 2 vehicles, if I'm going to spend that much money.

Few Pics from the BNE sales, a lot better this time round, 6x6 cargo looks like a very good buy...

Geez mate, you should work for Grays.
Some of those shots are very flattering ;)
Those wagons don't look that good in the flesh!
Dave.

Iam getting bored of standard landy pics so thought I would do some different ones.
The station was so so 7k?

Whats wrong with the wagons ? I'm interested but can't get there to look, hard to know what they're like just going off the grays pictures.
Are they rebuilds or have they just had new speedo heads ?
Any help much appreciated.
-
I can inspect Monday if you like
-
Caveat Emtor!
bne auction, lot 16.
Very tast from a distance and underneath but a significant amount on time in the TL salt air has taken a large toll.
Rusty door frames and vent surrounds, deep surface to full depth in places.
Sorry, don't have a photobucket ac. Can email photos.
Dave.
Eric, email me which wagon you need info on. Lot# and ARN.
If I don't have what you need you can let Juddy know.
Cheers, Dave.
-
My better half just gave me a ticket to Brisbane on Monday, so am coming up to have a look. Anyone else going to be around on Mon morning and we could all meet up and swap yarns and details over a coffee!
Shame about lot 16, but no books and its already at a stupid price so early in the auction.
-
Ref lot # 16
WoW !! Just goes to show how misleading these auctions can be without inspection !
Going by photos and being just 4800km post rebuild (*assumption), the price looks reasonable at the moment.... But not if there's rust !!
Thanks Dave.
-
The wagon did have the worst Rear doors I have seen in a long time. And there not cheap to replace.
-
Hmm - I'm coming up to Brisbane to look at the wagons too. They're the only ones I'm allowed to buy!
-
Don't forget to ask at the office to see the "log books" as at the first Brisbane auction they were all on the floor behind the counter and not easily seen ;)
-
I was at Minto this morning, mainly looking at the wagons.
Speaking to Dave - one of the AFM mechanics - both of the wagons have been at Minto for a while. 48-621 and tragically 48-006 have both been pillaged to rebuild other wagons having passed through, including the units in BNE this round. 48-006 was apparently the apprentice's project. When it came in it had front end damage, so they put a new brush guard and fenders on. The bulkhead still shows evidence of the accident. The apprentice got it to run roughly, until pieces were needed for rebuilding other Perenties just this round, but it has "either a gearbox or handbrake issue". 48-621 does not run. While the bits that remain of 48-621 are in reasonably good nick, 48-006 is in terrible shape - not a project for the faint hearted. I will post photos tonight when I get home.
-
I reckon I know where the tropical top and front doors on 006 came from ;)
-

Hah, no points for guessing that ;D
Here are some pictures of 48-006 as promised. First up are the unusual features; the guards on the jerry can holders (bumperettes?) found on IPVs and the 60-40 rear seats.

(http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad246/OreganoM1/IMG_7233_zps29d2142d.jpg)
I didn't notice any other differences from a regular Snr. Commander. I would've liked to get photos of the ID plates on the sides of the seat box, but the doors had been cable tied closed. I don't know where it had been stationed - no logbook - but the rust had set in. There was also a crack in the chassis where the back quarter has been hit. Very disappointing :'(
(http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad246/OreganoM1/photo_zpse1ca8054.jpg)
Everyone interested in the RFSV will be glad to hear that it appeared to be in excellent shape - everything that was there appeared in good order.
-
I recon one or two people would be interested. ;D
-
Cheers Dervish. Nice pics.
not only for the 006 number but for that uniques 'Formation Commander' plate.
hmm, decisions decisions...
-
After inspecting on Friday, I can say there is definitely a few vehicles that do not have logbooks. They tended to be the higher mileage vehicles. This also means that one doesn't get to look at the latest inspection report which details works needing to be completed on the vehicle. This is important I feel. In speaking with an Ex-Army guy who was at the inspections, he said it would be highly unlikely for a vehicle to not have had the books when leaving service as this is/was a critical bit of information for the vehicle and would be "very hard to recreate".
Particularly considering one inspection document had listed that the vehicle needed chassis repairs including body off and realignment. This had not been completed upon exiting service it didn't appear.
CAVEAT EMPTOR!
Just a warning to those looking at the current auctions.

G'Day Neophyte, That was my mate Mick.
I had my head in the front of the vehicle when you were talking.
Cheers, Dave.
-
Well, I found the one I want, so if everyone else could stop bidding, I'd be very appreciative ;)
-
Just 1?
-
Well, maybe 2 :(
-
After seeing the wagon in melb, I'll wait for a better one.
-
I had a look at the Brisbane wagons today. Contrary to appearances on the website, I thought lot 4 was in better nick substantively. 3 had quite a bit of rust in door frames and around the outer lip of the cabin floor; none in 4 that I could see.
Having said that, 4's interior was a bit ropey. Loose plastics in doors, the locking tabs did nothing, rear right door wouldn't open from the outside and the boot door was very hard to open.
These are the first ones I've looked at though, so I'm not sure what sort of quality to expect in terms of interior.
-
Hi there
Is any one on here bidding on the wreck hardtop at Minto.......I am interested in the hard top.
Wayne
-
I am not but there are 3 ffr, snr commander and formation commander which one are you looking at :) Or do you mean you are after a hard top for rag top

Wow, can we call dibs?! 8)

I agree with everything you said, plus both had BIG pools of water in the front floor and number 4 was very wet in the back. We eventually got the rear door open but gave up on the right rear.
The back of the rear seat in 3 was very bowed and no4 was straight and fitted with a metal backing plate (3 had a wood backing on the seat back). Will be interesting to see how they go, but I lost interest pretty quickly after seeing no books, then lost even more interest after seeing them.
They ran ok, but very rough. Shame they had no books.
-
Wayne, PM sent.
-
plus both had BIG pools of water in the front floor and number 4 was very wet in the back.
It looked to me like the water had come in the vents under the windscreen, although I guess it could also indicate a seal problem elsewhere (and if it's been happening for a while who knows what rust lurks behind the dash...). Some of the soft tops had collapsed in under the weight of pooled water on their rooves. If I was Gray's I'd look after them a little better than this...
-
And one soft top was torn as well.
What really got me was that many of the trailers had log books which were just thrown in the back of them, water and all.
I agree about Grays - a little more care might equate to a little more revenue (read commission!)
-
Do people realise that the vehicles in each auction usually only arrive at the Minto site in the 6 weeks prior to each auction? It may be that the damage happened while the vehicle was in storage within Defence.
Also, as I understand it, the warehouse at Minto is run and operated by Australian Frontline Machinery (Sell & Parker). The Graysonline part of the site is merely the site office on the NorthWest corner of the warehouse building. Graysonline are an internet auction site/auctioneer and AFM a vendor customer.
-
Actually many in the wrecks section have been in storage by the army as you see them. Australian Frontline Machinery simply have them delivered like that forthe most part, good, bad or ugly!
I think there were a lot of damaged ones stored at bandiana? at one time.

I too was expecting to see unique ID plates on 48-006, following on from it's Auction description as a "Formation Commander" vehicle. Alas, it's just a regular "Senior Commander".

Yes that right. I have ratted a few of them to keep ones going,there are lots more there as well. at north Bandiana. there is a hill with a viewing point if you want to see them all. they can be seen on Google maps.

Good prices on some trailers at Minto.
173330 - $209 w/blue slip and Michelin XZL tires. Worth it for the XZL alone
-
So who bought something?? ;D
-
Gah not me. Decided I'd go to $13k on Brisbane lot four. It went for 13,109. That's discipline right there. My girlfriend's stoked...
-
there is a buyer T.k - bathurst NSW that has a few new vehicles.
-
I wonder if CG of Bangalow intended getting BOTH Carryalls from Brisbane or was hedgeing their bets.

Woo Hoo.......Here is my new toy!
$10K, and less than I expected to pay.
It is RAAF rego 231194 with 35,000km and full books. Was at Tindal and Williamstown - thats it!
Has a torn canopy, but I'll worry about it later when I get it trucked to Adelaide.
So far everything is under budget, including the trip from Adelaide to Bris to look at it.

Bid on 2 6x6 down here in Melb,
A NOS 6x6 with 0km went for $36,000.00 plus
And a low km 6x6 went for about $19,000.00
The 0km car was very sweet but...I'm waiting till next time

Known in circles as Dodge 1942 on forums

Yep, watched all the vehicles I earmarked shoot through the roof in the last mins. Chased a few but to no avail.
Big thanks to Uzi and MattGM for taking the time to be my eyes out there. It's all pointing towards a Minto "blue slipped" vehicle and East - West Drive later in the year.
This is probably Karma from the LR god for bending the 130's tie rod last Sat!

Dave, watched that one up your way also go up. Where it finished was in my budget but wasn't sure where it where it was going to end up.

As mine is one of the very few RAAF vehicles, I've decided to call it "Angus", after you know who!

What ? Aberdeen Angus Bull

Hi all I am now the owner of a no 5 trailer 101088 ;D got it at the Minto auction for $309.00 i went for this one because it is 1963 and my workshop is a 1964 I am picking it up in Wednesday I have modified my Hilux to tow it to its new home on the South Coast of NSW

When are the next auctions starting? Getting withdrawal symptoms!

Still no Hobart???

Not to my knowledge

Melbourne has
1 Mog
2 6x6 infratry carrier
1 wag
7 FFR
12 GS
-
Hobart would be too expensive for shipping, for the most part, short as it is, bass straight is very expensive to cross >:( :-[
-
More expensive than Auckland? ;D

Probably! but a smaller market (unless you count dave benson as a few)

Call a company, Allalong they have a yard in melb and ring the Sydney yard ask for John Cant.

Also notice graysonline have tagged all the photos - perhaps to stop people listing them on ebay using the graysonline photo.

great tyre, just need surgery to repair hearing after use.

I'm surprised Grays haven't yet twigged to the marketing benefits of photographing each vehicle with Perspex or corflute "Grays" numberplates. With the milage the photos get, the exposure would be brilliant. Would hamper our attempts at building a library of "Type" photos.

Wow, Melbourne has the lions share of rebuilt vehicles, this round!
Have fun!
Cliffy should have waited another couple of weeks :P
-
The tray back 6 x 6 at Minto, Lot 10 is pretty clean underneath...Rebuild? 11305 km on the clock
-
Only 30 minutes into the auction in Brisbane and one FFR is already at $6809. Maybe it won't go up much more!?!
-
seems to be a bit of Déjà vu going on with the wrecks, they are awfully clean underneath. I'm sure I have seen a coulple of them before or am I going crazy? :o

I was just after an example of one for now. As it turns out I paid no more than I think they are worth.
On top of that I bought a piece of history...

DANGER CAUTION!!
Bne Auctions, ARN 230 033 GS with winch is missing 2 nuts off the Handbrake/ rear prop connection. Do NOT drive before repairing!!

The two Haulmark tandems went for, I think, record prices considering they are incomplete without canopy or bows. In fact, they sold for higher prices than many of the 4x4 Perenties! You could actually buy cheaper on E-bay:

Even at $4K its a lot for a truck without an engine nor transmission.

Would someone have purchased this for breaking?

Scored 101070 to add to a 2a

How you getting it back to Kal?
-

Already have. But no two of these will go on to people who are unable to get one back here easily due to cost and/or time.
-
How you getting it back to Kal?
110 FFR plus car trailer when I get my next break from the work camp.
-
:) um, using a 'proxy' (Scott), just got 101-148 tlr (SVN service, RTA 71 with 4RAR Townsville.) Interestingly it currently has 2RAR '56' tacs and Auscam. Maybe the logbook will tell the story. But likely not. Scott got something as well. Pickup next M, T, W.
-
Thanks for the info, the price was good.It was the cost of getting it home that was going to hurt. There are plenty of engine transmission combinations available at a reasonable price and the remainder of the truck seemed to be in good order. If it had been in the eastern states I think it would have made a lot more.
It would wreck out ok, as I learnt from a tractor wrecker once, you wreck the good vehicles not the ones that are worn out.

B52, do you mean drive to NSW and back?
Wow!
-
Its about $800 in fuel each way but if I take a car trailer with me the trip is worthwhile plus I enjoy the drive and catch up with a few people
-
I was going to fly to WA and pick up a veh a few months ago but the fuel bill to drive back approached $4000 so I shipped it instead ;D its a long way to drive might see you at the shed when you come over :)
-
Hard core!
I was looking at driving back but as it worked out it was not required.
I worked out about the same for fuel. Add airfare and hotels and transport was cheaper.
So you'll have no probs driving to Perth for a Perentie round up?! ;D
-
Gday I got my Perentie from Adelaide and drove it back to Perth for a fuel bill of $458.00.
It was about 2700 km at 11 L / H from memory.
I flew out of Perth 7 am Friday morning and drove back in 8 am Sunday morning.

A lot of things missing from the Ambo, a seat box for example, then there's all the bits missing from the A/C blower unit. If there were more 6x6 being wrecked as donors it wouldn't a great deal, but given the wide bodies are orphans parts will be difficult for a while.

Now THAT is a curiosity!!
Compliance plated as a 1998!
I had put it down as a typo, but it IS a 98.
So that means we can put a 4bd1 into anything up to a '98 model ;-);-)

It does look to be re-made:
-
This 6x6 is a late-build that was probably for a communication module or Parakeet component.
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0003-7005038/transport-trucks-and-trailers/land-rover-110-6x6-cargo-8-1998
The Nomenclature plate has been removed, and I am wondering if the Parakeet vehicles are described on the Nom plate as Parakeet, or are they still a normal "Truck, light, GS"?

Grays call it a 1998 but plate says 95MY
-
That one, 202492 was a GS from start to finish as far as I can tell.
202-482 through to 202-518 were built as GS WW for Parakeet, but others such as 50-716 have been used for parakeet modules as we have a good photo of that one (being sold as a GS) with the parakeet module set up.

Date is a typo on that one I think. The last bushrangers built (not refurbished) were the parakeet GS vehicles built in 1998, however I understand that they were built with existing, not new, engines, and a dispensation to do so was sought and granted. I don't know the relevant adr restriction, but certainly it is well before 1998 for the 4BD1 fitting.

This is the excess from the SME Museum. The Mk5 wrecker has only ever been issued to the RAEME Training School and thence to the museum so very low mileage. So one of the best F5 you'll ever find.

And by looking at "additional photos" it also has the Clarke Antennae mounting point on the right Jerry Can holder.

Hi Uncle Ho
Simple solution to your problem don't sell anything just go and buy a shed and put the new vehicle into the shed hidden amongst everything else in the shed. I can gauantee shmbo will never go near the shed, for some reason women are alergic to sheds and there contents. Then you can post in the what have you hidden from your missus thread.

I know what you mean, a real head scratcher. I thought perhaps everyone except the real die-hard tragics had grown bored with the auctions, but the going rate for the 4x4 Perenties was a smidge up from the last few rounds if anything...
I don't suppose anyone except the tragics would know how rare the 6x6s are though. Whatever the story, two people got a lot of Land Rover for their money! One of the No.5s went for $1209, way over odds - anyone know why?
-
I was stunned by the 6x6 Crew Cab prices too, and they were both pretty good looking beasts.

Hi Phil
My experience with the auctions is that you have to cut loose but be restrained, I bid in 3 auctions and kept pulling out when the bidding got to the price that I had set in my head, the result was frustration from not winning anything. The next auction I bid in I got the vehicle I wanted because I made up my mind that I would spend a bit more than I wanted to spend and it paid off in the end. Even at $9000 these are good buying if you find a good one which there are plenty of because try and buy a county or defender with 50 to 100 thousand kilometers on the clock and you will pay a lot more than what these vehicles are being sold for.
Cheers
Rod

Thanks Rod,
Yes I have been progressively upping my limit, even had the wife telling me to up my bid on the auction just finished. I know of an April auction vehicle that is back on the market and I was trying to find my notes from the April Auction, but they are via lot number! not VIN.

1 only RFSV w'Mission kit. looks fair but check the chassis particularly just in front of the arear axle. A lot of red dust means a lot of rough roads.
It was a 51 FNQR vehicle, IIRC, but many were not sent back but re-allocated to other RFSU. The $20K RFSV barrier has been broken. I reckon this will too.
Handful of 6x6 cargo (a few repurposed ADs) and a lot of '88 GS and FFR.
Oh and Perth people, take it easy on that single quad you have over there. Maybe take turns on it or something :P
Darwin looks like the place for a No5 bargain. They will probably end up going for scrap money with that many at one auction. Hmm, I wonder how many would fit on a semi standing on their backsides?!

We have some AWM document references for theses two..

Minto Trailers don't have blue slips this month. Pretty sure they did in previous rounds.
-
For some time now, AFM have been flagging the prospect that the trailers won't be blue slipped OR HAVE VINs applied. The reasoning has been that when the trailers are often selling for $300-400, it doesn't make economic sense to pay $54 to undergo VINing and the blue slip inspection.
Experience from interstate sales has shown that the absence of a vin and/or rego inspection has not affected the saleability of the No5's.
-
Perhaps they got in trouble for stating they were 1985 models

So who went to look at the Minto ones.... In particular the 6x6's?

Not me, I went to the Mudgee Field day, where I saw this in the carpark:

Excellent promo vehicle to show what they can turn into, makes me want to buy another one and do the same to make it a daily driver..................bugga what do I do now!

What are the 4 holes for on the right hand side jerry can carrier?
They are for an aerial mount

You should get another one then.
I have always thought one in a sand colour would look good in the garage.

I recognised them instantly, as I have them on my Defender.

Well, a zero,dark, hundred flight down to the big smoke to take a much closer look at a few vehicles for some clients and ended up with a guided tour 'behind the cam nets' thanks to Karen from AFM. The revised eddition of the Buyers guide will include info from AFM about their side of the operation.
Caught up briefly with MrTheDervish and all done by 1230! Such a jetsetter am I ;-)
A much lower number of vehicles available due to some transport issues.
What a day! :-)
-
It was great to meet you Dave! I would've liked to stick around for longer but I had to get to work (good thing it is slow at the moment).
See anything interesting behind the cam net curtain? In the past they've been very defensive of the area.
-
I could tell you, but then I'd have to put your head in an 'A' class container (safe)! ;)
I CAN say that I had a good look at the Mk5 Wrecker (suffer in your jocks, Inter-philes).
It is just a large workshop and storage space.
-
Having read the last page of posts all I can say is this.
All it needed was something cheap and trashy and all you blokes lose control.
No , I'm not talking about the Black Rover. that was nice.

-
What did the RFSV make?
-
$18,109 :o
-
It ended up being a rich auction - too rich for my blood - probably thanks to the low numbers. The Infantry Carrier has to take the cake - $37,109.
It was immaculate though :)
-
There was cake? Damn, should have bid! ;D
-
one more Perentie on its way to Canberra , not mine ;{

That infantry carrier was actually one large vanilla spongecake. AFM bakers were working around the clock for weeks.
-
$18,109 :o
More or less than you expected, natoman?
A bit of work required, despite the Blue slip. Lots of patch and paint and some mechanical.
No GM120 available.
Lot 30@$9100ish was fair money for, effectively, a new vehicle. Everything under the body appeared new or refurbished. Have seen similar go for nearly $15K.
Re-gal chassis
Suspension
Axle assemblies (F&R)
Engine and ancilliaries
Gearbox
Oh, and a cushy steering wheel upgrade.
The full Tenix enchelada! hmm, but no GM120 to confirm that to the average punter.
Lot 21 @ $9400!? well I just dont know. At a glance it needed about $3K worth of partsand lots of time on detail repairs. Maybe someone knows something that I don't..... or just another 'red haze' bidding war.
As posted, the IIMV was NOS.Yes, I typoed previously, not 1920ks but 192! As in One hundred and Ninety two ONLY! Valued by Defence @$150Kish, not bad buying. Straight to the (reccently extended) pool room. ;)
Further chatter about commercial quantities going O.S. Keep holding your breath for a $3K road ready Perentie.....

Hi there all
There still bringing more dollars than I thought.......
Wayne
-
They are, Wayne, but not excessively.
They will for a while yet. Just wait until Joe Average goes into a LR dealer to buy a Defender and is told "We don't do those anymore".
Many will then go looking for something like what KLR has created for AFM.
-
Hi there all

Wayne
I had thought similarly Wayne, but when you think back to the disposal of the Series 3s, they continued to bring around $4,000 at auction throughout the extended sales period but when that was over they were only worth half that on resale on the open market. Due to the desirable features of the perentie I don't think we'll see a repeat of that.
As a matter of interest, I had a look at the "civilianised" perentie on show at Minto, all blinged up and with a KLR turbo & p/s kit and repainted with shiny dark green paint - AFM trying to show what can be done with one, it looked good but still a perentie under the surface
-

More than I would be willing to pay. But I didn't really know what to expect.
Out of interest how many tray back six wheelers have been through the auctions? Going off the ARN list I counted about 49-50?

And that's a very good point. Still a Perentie! Factor in the cost of buying one all the mechanical mods wheels tyres new canvas professional paint job. You still have a tractor but a better looking one.
-
When I look at the cost to upgrade a perentie to a civie 110
power steering
ABS
aircon
locks
hard top
radio
that all adds up
-
You could easy spend 25k plus doing one up
Similar money you could get a good td300 or td5
I think if the prices came down to 4/5k like the uk ones it would
Be more worth while upgrading.

The only original equipment Land Rover 110/Defender A/C that actually works and allows a passenger to have feet is the one on the current Puma engined ones. It would cost a lot to retrofit one of those.
-
Just been perusing the post auction prices and lingering over the RFSV photos ...
Then noticed the RFSV data plate actually has "Perentie" printed on the plate.
http://res0.graysonline.com/handlers/attachmenthandler.ashx?t=sh&id=5921711&filename=Additional+Photos.pdf
Is this unique to the RFSVs? no other 4x4 I have seen actually has Perentie as the official variant name / descriptor.
Always assumed we called them that due to the design project / tender name, thus always in quotes.
Dave.
-
Have seen that on a number of "specialty" vehicles it still says 110 as the model though :)

Can someone help me out. 48-367 is listed in the REMLR ARN database as a carryall but the same vehicle seems to be a 5 door wagon.
Am I confused or is this the term used when a 5 door doesn't have the 24V FFR system?
Anyone remember what it went for at the Greysonline auction?
-
Carryall is the term applied to both 5 door variants. The Personel Carrier - basically a stripped County - and the Senior Commander, with winch and FFR. One is a Carryall, Personel Carrier; the other a Carryall, Senior Commander.
The link you quoted is still active (as all auction result pages are), showing that it went for $13,109.

Thanks for that! 8)
How stupid do I feel finding out that I could have found the price by clicking the quoted link! :o

Not strictly, I understand the boys in Hobart (Tas) had been holding on to it for some time. I have a photo of it at the midlands military show a couple of years ago when the army took it for a play. Not sure if it was on the books officially or not, but I think it may have been.

4 - 5 RFSVs in melbourne , BD

There are some very rusty jerry cans on the RFSV's. Out of curiosity, were the jerry cans normally stencilled with the ARN?
-
I hadn't noticed the jerry stencils, only on some vehicles.

I can only see 4 RFSV's at present - lot 9 has the stenciled jerry can, but its the wrong ARN for the vehicle - that's what made me wonder.
My only problem when I get onto the site is I then go looking for wine!!! This visit might have cost me 6 cartons of white - damn!
-
We used to have our CES (including canopy bows) marked, though didn't go as far as Jerries. Done for a couple of reasons;
Prior to patrol we would cut the vehicles down as far as possible. x4-6 = a big mess of bits. ARNs helped keep it in order.
On return the vehicles were stripped down even further for cleaning= more mess and confusion.
Also done if you worked with other units, particularly other RFSUs. Patrol 2ICs are renowned for being pack rats and 'acquiring' all kinds of shiny things that hadn't been bolted down. ;)

12 RFSV's across all 3 sites
3 inoperable No5's

In the Melbourne auction, 51-625 (http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0008-3007373/transport-trucks-and-trailers/land-rover-110-4x4-regional-force-surveillance-soft-top-rfsv-11-1990) is interesting. It is compliance plated specifically as a distinctly unique model vehicle, an RFSV, and plated to seat 3 with a GVM of 3600Kg. All the other RFSV's are converted from 2 seat FFRs with a GVM of 3200Kg.
Is this the first we have seen of this compliance? As there are only 3 seats on the vehicle, the 3rd single rear-facing seat is completely legal and compliant!

Interesting. Compare the V in Land Rover vs the V in RFSV and I think it is a U. Making it a RFSU. UNIT NOT VEHICLE ?
-
I'm sure I have seen a compliance plate with 3600kg GVM at a previous auction. Will have to check photos.
-
I am not sure how this would still go with Roadworthy, the seat belt on the seat would not pass here in QLD.
You can't have that type with a rear facing seat. But maybe as its been certified it could still pass. Have to ask my ADR man.

Looks to have had a chassis swap at some time, either that or Grays have muffed it.
-
I note that three to four days out from auction close, this room goes vewry vewry kwiet! ::) ;D
-
I tend to be doing the auctions instead of coming in here. 2 interesting RFSV's though as they are 2 of the last made.
51-792 in Melbourne and 51-793 in Adelaide were the last two RFSVs built and delivered in October 1991 on the same day. 51-794 the last RFSV ARN was delivered in September.
-
It was good to inspect the lots and chat to people at Minto. I would strongly advise any buyer to get to AFM to check out the vehicles and never to rely solely on the photos unless they are willing to take the risk.
Here's my opinion and its worth what it costs you..
The photos do not show some problems at all; eg under bonnet brace rust, radiator panel surface rust, surface or exposure rust and other small troubles.
This is amongst the GS/FFR only:
One unit had no pintle hook. 2 units had no roof rack/ cam net rack. 4 or 5 units had bends in the ends of the Roo bars. I lifted a lot of floor matting. 1 unit has rust under paint on the firewall exterior above the bonnet hinge line. 2 units had dinged side panels - small bends that are hard to see in the pics.
I got under 5 or 6 units and I could see marks on the chassis from being lifted on and off semi trailers using forklift tynes.. with consequent bare metal in places. Mind you thats my opinion, I wasn't there, I didn't see. I'm guessing. Maybe some Landies, without having their wheels on for whatever reason, somehow went for a small sideways slide along railway tracks.
-
I note that three to four days out from auction close, this room goes vewry vewry kwiet! ::) ;D

I have a friend in country NSW that is interested in 51-670 ;) if he can't get that he will settle for a GS at Minto that auction closes today at 4.45pm from memory.
There is a RAAFie there that is nice. :)
But it will have to wait until I repair my Lightweight that I rolled end-over :'(
-
I was returning home to my place one evening about 7.30pm when that STUPID series 3 bonnet catch let go at 70+kph,(semi rural road) traffic following,pulled left,down the table drain,stood it on it's nose and dropped onto the canopy,I crawled out through the remains of the canopy and bars :o, the batteries (24V) emptied themselves with the petrol (under seat tanks) all over my jeans,I was shaken but not stirred ;)
But I was also very lucky not to be seriously hurt,thanks to a lap/sash seat belt.
Yes, I will rebuild it, probably next year,have to save for the Lightweight bonnet and panels which will possibly be ex-UK.
cheers

That sounds very bad, glad your ok.

G'day Juddy :)
Yes,I am OK now, but a little sore and sorry for a few weeks,I hope to have my 68 GS at Canungra Swap in October,just have to refit my newly re-cored radiator (Aussie Military Spec.4 core square tank)
See Ya there :)
-
Sorry to hear about the bonnet causing so much grief..
Sorry I was a bit distracted slow to reply to your post. The AFM Sydney auction was in its last 2hrs. I've been in a zone from 2pm to 5.30pm really. Its a great husband wife team thing with bids and lots numbers on the move so much in the last hour.
We got the one I wanted, FFR 8/90 arn 50-257.
Underneath it had new driveline bits such as props, unis, bushes, etc such as that triangular susp arm at the back end.
The FFR tables & chairs were there too. No wince fitted but it has a logbook which many didn't. Its missing a exhaust hose but if I asked them nice they would probably have a spare.
As for price, I think I paid 360 more than average price, for my pick. I bid at 2.22 and it held to the official close at 1645. The price I bid was what I got to in the last auiction before giving up, and that was on a auction where I didn't inspect the lots except looking over the supplied web pics.

Just thought I'd post up a screenshot of some of the auction results of the 6x6's I was looking at. Had a bid on three of them but I was really looking for one to dismantle for spares to future proof my 6x6 Air Defence, so theses prices were right up there.
The Infantry Carrier that went for nearly $37k in Melbourne was still cheaper than one in the July auction in Sydney, but it only had 192km showing.
-
Congratulations Boxy :)
51-670 was a very nice and by the pic very complete RFSV.and if you don't want the special bits on it there would probably be somebody on here that does ;)

Im keeping it as is. i will take the canopy off and drive it to work occasionally and get out and play on some tracks.

Well you got yourself a 110 :) bit quicker than the 2a SWB,
50-257 still with the 24v CAV alternator :) tables and all,even the chook seats,all you need is the radios or the cases to make it look real,just fit a DVD player in the cases and you will have music/video for displays ;D

Excellent pickup .. had a crawl over it Saturday .. nice unit. If I didn't already have my FFR would have helped Frontline and Grays realise some more $$$$ :) :)
-
Congrats Boxy!
Looks like a fair vehicle at a great price.
A bit late now, but make sure you check the chassis just forward of the rear axle.
a B Coy, 51 FNQR (IIRC) vehicle like that might have some repairs there.
Have fun and prepare for the "Wow! That's cool" onslaught. oh, and get some deep heat for your jaw, too much smiling will cause some pain ;))

I have to join REMLR now i have an ex mil landy
Adam
Congrats Adam, and you're very welcome to join REMLR anytime. That price was excellent, a gift. I had my attention on one vehicle as you do, it was pretty intense, and didn't watch the RFSVs. I brought a V8 cop car at auctions in Fivedock in '93 and that was way less stressy. That one was "any colour you like as long as its white" and this one was "any colour as long as its cam".
Hope to see you at Corowa next march. You could convoy with other RFSVs and maybe a SRV too. Too cool for school as they used to say.
Start your own thread or blog for your RFSV as the others have done. Is pretty straightforward. Use the 51-670 ARN in the thread title or use its nickname if it has one. Away you go then, documenting your fixups and adventures etc.
-
Thanks for all the warm welcomes.
I have just moved back to Western Sydney after 5.5 years NE of Broken Hill. My new national park i manage is on Campbelltown road only 10 mins from my new RSFV. cant wait for monday.
Who do you use for a green slip? Comprehensive insurance?
-
Cant make it to that this weekend. I have to go for a drive from Wombeyan Caves to Oakdale via Joorilands for lunch via the W4 fire trail. Should be a great day it is pretty speccy down in the Burragorang valley.

Just down the road from you at Minto ..
I went with Shannons after trying my normal car insurers, they know what a Perentie is and I elected for occasional use and got a great deal.

Really happy I found this thread - I used this last auction as a bit of research for a future buy (as an ex 51 member I want an rfsv) I have a bunch of photos of the various rfsv in action for back in the 90's and I will try to match them up to some of the ones purchased here.

Wow, I know those pics will make a few new owners very happy indeed. Terrific. Welcome to REMLR and I hope you find the one you used to use.
-
"Just picked mine up will take it on Sunday to castle hill"
Alright, that'll add to the numbers - look for Landys under cam nets trying not to stand out from the other 500 Landys.
Yeah, as I wrote that I'm thinking the nets were designed to make you less visible but we use them to make us more visible. :)
If you can't see us give us a post on line here and we'll pop purple smoke or something.

Ok Gavind, download or direct email any pics of 51-699 Training Company Cairns .
anytime ya want. And welcome aboard.

Mine drives really well. The tyres are super noisy. It has most of its CES including the air hose
It had 1 full tank and the other was 3/4s full
Drive it from minto to MacArthur square got the green slip and comprehensive insurance. Then to Campbeltown RTA got some plates went to bunnings and bought some cable ties to hold the number plates on as I didn't think I could get it until Monday. Very excited can't wait to
Drive it again on Sunday.

I have found photos of 51 686 and 51 65? (sorry - last digit is obscured by winch cable - I think it will be 51 655, but this is based on little more than the bit of what looks like a 5 ha ha). They are both bogged up to the gunnels (as we all were) in black soil country east of Mt Isa.
For those who pick up an ex-cairns RSFV - these have seen a lot of salt water
The shot outside the houses comes with a little story. I was getting back from a OP with the AFP and when I got to my house there was a bunch of cops and TV cameras outside. I freaked and thought something had happened to my girlfriend, but it was just some nut bag over the back fence with a shooter holding his dog hostage (the heat in Cairns does strange things to folk). Anyway, what I didn't see was the TV camera zoom in on me dumping a heap of crap in the house while carrying my steyr.... got grilled by the boss the next day.
Photo as taken on the highway was simply because this was the first bend we had seen in three hours of driving...

Hi Gavind72
Posting Photos isn't rocket science If you go to the general chatter section you will find a tutorial written by the very lovely Vixan. I will give you the linkhttp://remlr.com/forum/index.php?topic=59.0 (http://remlr.com/forum/index.php?topic=59.0).

I have to find a shot of my old FFR. I was Light EW troop Commander for two years, which means I think we had the only Offensive Weapon FFR :D

Oh thats close mines 51- 656. any pics of him?
-
I could be wrong - but that might actually be the one in the house shot. I have a head for numbers (I can still remember my rifle numbers all the way back to 1989 - yes slightly 'rainman-esk')
The other reason I say this though is that I can remember it was always a pain the arse having two that were so close a blind bugger like me would forever be jumping in the wrong truck (a five looks like a eight when you can't see fifteen feet in front of you).
Unfortunately a lot of my photos are buried in boxes, but I still have good contact with two other mates who were at Norforce and Pilbara Regt respectively so I will see what else I can dig up.
Just checked the ARN list and 51-686 was picked up in QLD in Oct 2013 - so if you are out there - check under the wheel arch for black soil

Do you recall the ARN for that one? Might be wishful thinking, but my FFR was Mt Isa based, and appeared to be a bit of a pet.
-
That one (the EW FFR) was actually Cabarlah based, but the FFR you have was in Mt Isa because of me. I was the first ARA RSO at 51, but just before I got there we did an activity with 7 Sig Regt out that way. I chatted with the CO at the time (the scary-as-hell Tinkos) and convinced him that having FFR out at Mt Isa and a few other mainland locations. I drove yours a fair bit when we ran a patrol commanders course in March of 93. You have a new gear stick after I sheared it off coming down what I would describe as a cliff and getting it all wrong in the gravel (panicked and grabbed the bugger so hard I snapped it off). Yours should be In great condition as it would have seen much less off road time as Sig Platoon would drive it to a decent paddock and set up our HF antennas. it wasn't used regularly for real hard going.
-
Thanks for recounting your experiences Gavin, a car's backstory makes it all the more interesting.
It is still in great condition, the gearbox is a bit of a bitch at times but otherwise she's great, a pleasure to drive.
A new gear stick 20 odd years ago! Probably due for another break haha.
Cheers,
Mark

Cheers Gav. What memories. A few mates had similar stories on Dvrs cses out that way!
I am glad I wasn't the only one that got the jeebies from Tink, but chicken stranglers are good at that ;)
As for the gear stick, sounds like Sod got to you :)
Loving the cut down RFSV. It was a cool (bloody cold on the tablelands) couple of years before OH&S got to us.
Look at those Shiny new 4.2Tinnies! and kaydees on a couple of coxswains! TI boots.
Thanks Heaps!!
-
Back on topic - the calculation sheet I saw a few pages back, what are the 'extras' in terms of what do they cover? It seems a little high for some usual transfer fees etc.
-
The extras are a 6% buyer's premium charged by Grays on top of the bid price (like many other auctioneers) and 10% GST. It does not relate to transfer fees, stamp duty or registration costs, as these will vary from state to state.
-
Ha ha (slapping myself in face now) I misread it and thought that this was another expense on top of the final total.... I will go back to bed now....

frontline services had an article in the gold coast bulletin at the start of sept 2014 in regards to 110 the md stated that they had been rebuilt this is showing low km frontline are looking at selling 110 modified to the open market

Nice looking RFSV! It was originally a NORFORCE vehicle i'm told.

At Minto is a FFR with a good in service photo. Almost wish I had waited until this month.
Lot 13, 49288. It is selling with the same door markings.
-
The rfsv at Brisbane is neither the best or worst I have seen. Very average condition
No more than 15k but I think that's still too much.

I was going to say no but then I noticed the pole thingy on the pic of it driving off the landing craft. What is it? Aerial element?
-
This is a caption for that 49288 amphib picture: On 26 Nov 13, HMAS Tobruk arrived in Ormoc Bay, Philippines, carrying the Recovery Support Force (RSF) to commence support to Operation PHILIPPINES ASSIST. Operating as part of Joint Task Force 630, the RSF is largely based on elements from Townsville-based 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment.

That's not even a year back, no wonder the door markings are the same.

Welby 638 GM120 states Darwin sq, Norforce, later 51 after upgrade. Was it on loan to Pilbarra?
Anyone considering this, needs to take a careful look at the firewall, inside and out.

i'll check my notes Dave, i should have a pic too.

All the trailers other than one, had faults at BNE, I suppose thats why there getting rid, I would not be paying more than a few $ for one.

Few pics from BNE, again it pays to go and look before you buy.
This was one of the better ones.

Ah yes, I don't use the stuff....

i assume its a silicon based spray that makes everything so very shiny shiny and slippery.
Spray on plastics/bumpers and bam, looks 'new'

Just got back from looking over the Melb offerings. For those looking at lot 10, we noted a note in the log book stating it had been fully refurbished including chassis 'straightening a pnd galvanisation...' After being refurb end it is still dropping a fair bit from the gear box.
Other points of note:
Lot 3 - RFSV - looks like some joker misjudged the height clearance as the driver side door frame has been a little squashed out of square
Both RFSV are 51 FNQR and entered service in 2010.
Lot 4 - I actually like this one. Started well from cold, but it is showing some areas or corrosion that will need more work that lot 4. Aux battery not performing as I would have liked.
Lot 5 - small panel dent in front left (indicator dislodged). Ex NORFORCE/7 RAR
Lot 6 - ex 7 sig. Big ding in front left panel. Anyone know where you can get whole panels cheaply as this one is plucked, but I still don't mind the rest of it. (But then I already have a spare canopy)
Lot 7 - no service books
Lot 8 & 9 - stock standard and as expected. Both have solid km but canopies are in poor state.
Lot 10 - ARA bloke there same time as me thought the the wheels were showing a sign of toeing in a little... I couldn't see it, but I am blind :)
I also got a full copy of the RFSV Tech manual which a photographed from cover to cover if anyone wants one for free.

It was developed by NASA to protect equipment out in the Florida weather in the launch facility at Cape Canaveral, it just happens to make things shiny too.

Lot #35 at Minto the MilPo one has a throw away chassis. It has ripples on the inside and outside of the RHS rail all the way from the spring mount to the fuel tank and kinking on the underside. The radius rod is bent into the shape of an "S". I would warrant that the front diff housing is bent.
The drivers door lock had to be destroyed to open the door, so there is likely warping in the firewall.
A few other bits missing on the engine, air cleaner and dash. drivers seat head rest rusted through so I would be suspect on the seat frame too.
No roof rack, no tarp and no service book.

THanks Gavin and Diana. :D

Dave i have a set of briefing notes here, i'm on 638, second vehicle is 649. The pic i have shows 649 but 638 is in side profile. The 'job' was ex port hedland and i was one of a few guys lobbed in to support that units tasking. So vehicles supplied rather than one of my own units.
It was an assumption of mine that it was a Pilbara unit and may very well have been Norforce unit on loan.

Well I've missed on my parts donor car! :'(
I think it went wrong when Roughie bid me up to $2609 when complete FFR were still below $2K. I guess that's a fact of auctions. But even Roughie didn't know the state of the chassis, he took a glance at it and thought its O.K. palpating the rail would have revealed all.
I wonder if the current bid holder has another chassis like I do or he thinks the vehicle is better than it is?

You've got to draw your own line somewhere Diana - it often seems that with auctions there will be a buyer who can see more value in a particular iitem. Good luck to them - plenty more fish in the sea.
I took a looksee at Minto yesterday (particularly at the RFSVs) and also took a close look at a registered one currently offered for resale in Sydney - all very educational. I'll wait till after 1600 tomorrow and see if it's worth placing a bid.
-
Absolutely. I calculated:
- my parts needs
- my current costs,
- the estimated sale value of surplus parts
- my labour to extract and combine parts
- what I'm prepared to pay for a complete vehicle
, and then I set my max bid although I did go over it by $300.
Not planning on registering a Perentie till its eligible for NSW Historic rego, so I still have three or four years to collect items and build them up. (I currently pay enough rego on my various vehicles to employ one NSW public servant full time, or it feels that way! ::) )
-
Lot #35 at Minto the MilPo one has a throw away chassis...... palpating the rail would have revealed all.
Medical terms will not be applied in respect to diagnosing sick Perenties! TAP would be understood by more. ;D
PS Isn't it amusing that we now recognise the identities of many "Anonymous" bidders in the Grays auctions? There are at least 20 or more regular bidders that I now know, and will retract/attack with my bids accordingly.
-
You should have seen me auscultating the various bits of anatomy! :o
So you're saying I can no longer use the terms:
- in-situ for parts on the vehicle
- in-vivo for parts on the work bench
- RUQ for parts near the driver's end
- inferior for parts below (not in respect of Britpart)
;D

it's a pity they don't allow some serious diagnoses ;D
(one advantage of buying after market I guess)

I wasn't really looking at anything up in Minto, but have decided that with a little leave up my sleave I have the option of picking it up. Anybody see anything not overly destroyed in the GS Cargo there? (being ex-51 I would love an RSFV - but the price some of you are paying is out of my meagre pay packet stretch-point)

Anybody see anything not overly destroyed in the GS Cargo there? (being ex-51 I would love an RSFV - but the price some of you are paying is out of my meagre pay packet stretch-point)
You can pick up a RFSV for me. Just pick it up before the successful bidder gets to it.

What's the story with this one? Rebuild or genuine kms?

I was musing over the same thing myself not 2 hours ago actually, it looks very good for the km's it shows. Engine bay looks original, so no rebuild on the tenix line, but some units have rebuilt vehicles time to time. I have driven one here in tassie that is an ex RAAF unit that had a different vehicle's chassis under it, the old number crossed out and hte number for this vehicle restamped, oddometer zeroed etc, but it was rebuilt in QLD at some stage.
That one is much tidier, and I wonder if the logbook matches the oddo? of it it has a different dashboard in it, because it looks very very tidy!

Bought a No. 5 trailer at the Townsville auction today and wonder if anyone has registered one in Queensland and can tell me what they put in the self assessment form?
Thanks,
Howard

Got 2, unreal how cheap they all went. Now I have to drive to Queensland again. Through the centre this time.

The trailer I was after sold for about $3k more than a FFR.

Hi Howard
A No.5 is easy to register in Qld you don't have to take the trailer you just show up with the paper work. You register it as a home built and you are away.
Cheers
Rod
-
In NSW the No5 is in the makes and models database as
Manufacturer: Australian Defence Industries
Model (IIRC): No5 1/2 Ton trailer.
Given that the registration authorities share VIN information they may also share makes and models.
Its worth a try.
-
As I am sitting at home injured (shoulder surgery) with nothing better to do - find attached the full results from the last auction.
Points that I noticed.
- A few multiple buyers, including T.R from Murwillumbah NSW who picked up two RFSV and a couple of FFR
- Yet to do comparison and trend lines, but gut feel is prices down a bit this auction.
- If I get the time I will do a full trend analysis for all the auctions... yes I am a bit bored!
-
Thanks Rod
I was hoping to register it tomorrow up here in Cairns and drive to Townsville on Monday to pick it up but I don't have the dimensions, etc. Would you, or someone who happens to have them, be able to post or pm them please?
The things I need are:
1. trailer dimensions, length overall, front to axle, axle to rear, body front to axle, width.
2. tyre size (7.50R16), ply rating, cold pressure
3. tare, axle rating, tow ball coupler rating
Thanks

Thanks for the list, I take it thats excluding the 16% ?

Yes - on the full review I am doing now I will include that. It will include the 43 auctions I have numbers for, so will take a few hours. Hopefully it will be helpful and give us all a better idea of where these a heading with several-hundreds of some models still to come.
-
Great list .. very helpful. Thanks :) :)
-
Had quite a internal mind battle about acquiring a RFSV .. they are so well set up ...
I have a nice FFR with winch buts its amazing how we always seem to want something better >:( >:(
So eventually rationalised to stay with the FFR :
- cruising speed - FFR wins with the 110kph cruising speed
- extra fuel tank .. 2 Jerrycans on the FFR - will have to make do
- airpump - have a Bg Red from my early 4wd days
- storage .. damm .. will have to add a couple of lockable bins. front and one side ..
- 3 seats - not sure you can use it, but if you can RFSV wins here .. would like a middle seat in FFR
- Battery power - both good
- Power Steering - already done this thanks to KLR
- Cost - a lot lower even including the Power Steering
Still, the yearning is still there :( :(
-
So the BNE RFSV came in at $19378.96 cents. Ouch.
Add $1700 for a new canopy, $200 to fix the side sills and some paint, plus rego $22k++++++++ and I think dave said it had some rust in the firewall?
-
My No5 trailer has been registered in Qld since 1990 and I regoed as "Date:1966.
Manufacturer:Ordanance Factory.
Model:ATM up to 1.02T.
Body Shape: Box Trailer.
Vin/Chassis:1974 (Yup! that's what's stamped on the L/H body chassis mount)
Tare:120.
ATM:750 ;)
Class:25.
Purpose of Use: Private.
No.AI-1160.
And it cost me $92.55 to renew for 12 mths
If your Tpt.Dept. has a problem you can Quote my Reg.No. as it would be in the system.
Hope that is of help.

congratulations,
well done.

I am only half way through collating all the auction results and already I have seen some really good buys that just pop out (and yours, Diana, would be up there with them). The best buy I have found is an international semi with bugger all Km that went for the same as most of the ones with 300k+ km. also found one international prime with 960,000+ km! Surely you'd just run it for 40,000 to watch it clock up the 1,000,000.
Trailers are the one I am finding most amusing. Ye olde No.5 prices go up on odd buys by $1000.... Did folks find hidden goodies?
-
Gavin, i'm definitely interested to see the results of your endeavours!
I suspect I bought at a low time, hence getting an FFR w/winch and serviceable canopy for $6409 auction price :)
Trailers go for crazy prices, particularly the hardly useful number 5s, mine was $309 and perfectly serviceable, but since onsold so i'd better look out for another bargain :)

As promised I have sat in front of my keyboard for far too many hours crunching the numbers across all* the auctions (*all the ones I had auction numbers for - I may have missed a few). The cat managed to take out some of my earlier data fields and I lost some ARN details, but I now have a spread sheet with almost all the lots by Vehicle type, ARN, km travelled, Auction number, Location, and total bid and paid (with 16% add on). For those who are interested these auctions have cleared $21,000,000 so far.
From this I have created quite a number of graphs for the landies on sale to give an 'indication' of the direction things are heading. Please note - I have not quite done this the way I normally would (taking out high and low values from each auction etc to rationalise the results or factoring in the relative use of the vehicle - low km = higher dollars), but it is still pretty useful.
-
And here are the 6x6 figures for those who like their trucks BIG
Note - not everything got a graph. If there have been less than five sold I didn't bother.
I will do ones for the trucks (mog/macks/Primes) next week.
In my spreadsheet I have also marked some of what I am calling the 'best buys' which have been IMHO:
- International Prime mover for $39,000 with only 24000km on the clock,
- Soft Top Cargo 4x4 for $7300 with only 5000km,
- incomplete Soft Top Cargo 4x4 picked up for $3000 that looked like it needed very little by way of repair,
- most of the 6x6 Air Def (great buys),
- Mack Flat Top with Crane for $30,000 that was close to brand new, and
- a Unimog Cargo Crane for only $22000
-
Great thanks
-
That is seriously great work, Mate!
Thanks.
I have been working towards something like that but it hasn't got off the ground.

Lot #35 at Minto the MilPo one has a throw away chassis. It has ripples on the inside and outside of the RHS rail all the way from the spring mount to the fuel tank and kinking on the underside. The radius rod is bent into the shape of an "S". I would warrant that the front diff housing is bent.
The drivers door lock had to be destroyed to open the door, so there is likely warping in the firewall.
A few other bits missing on the engine, air cleaner and dash. drivers seat head rest rusted through so I would be suspect on the seat frame too.
No roof rack, no tarp and no service book.
Saw this vehicle today driving west through Lithgow, on it's way to Gulgong. Not surprisingly, it was on the back of a semi-trailer!

Stephen - did the 5 door look like it might be part of our next batch? I would actually like one of these so might have to wait
Also - from VIC
the two RFSV are both OK - but lot 3 looks to have had a better life :)
The others are a mixed bag. All the low km vehs had Speedo changes at +100,000km so good luck trying to work out actual km wityhout seeing a log book. The 6x6 Ambo looked good as did the Cargo. I liked lot 6 (as too do the bidders who went today it appears from the bid history) as the pick of what is actually a pretty good straight bunch. Less oil leaks and other issues across the board this time.

This Perentie in melb has a ID plate on the seat base that says its a personal carrier, but is a GS.
Chassis number on plate matches the stamping on chassis.
Please explain
-
All the 110 are GS, it merely means it is capable of cross country work.
We just get confused and call the Cargo variants GS and all the others get the variant name.

It certainly pays to inspect the vehicles in the auctions. I had a look at the Brisbane ones the other day, the ones I thought would be good turned out to be average on inspection and the ones I thought looked rough on the website turned out to be quite good vehicles. Who ever bought lot No. 6 will need a tow truck as it had no drive, felt like a clutch problem.

Has anyone looked at the offerings in Minto ?? Or going to have a look.
Interested in the history of Lot 11, 12 and 13 at Minto.
FFRs with Winch. Have a mate who's chasing one and would like to know.
Lot 12 is low figures (might be a rebuild ?) and I think Lot 11 has double jerry can
holders on the rear.
Would appreciate some comments on those three especially.

Only Lot 13 has faded paint, 11 and 12 look fresher, but still with bush scratches and scuffs.
All 3 have references in log books or as ownership tags on CES for 51 FNQR.
2 of them also have a nifty extension lever on the Winch Clutch Dog lever. Gives better leverage and also easier operate when leant over the bulbar. Looks a bit "homemade", looks more like a unit item rather than Genuine LR. Would be easy to make for yourself.

We'll be in touch again soon with new auction information."
Any ideas?

Yeh got the same email ..
My guess is that they are not seeing many hits (therefore interest) on their site, maybe they worked out that there are too many people away on hols plus the issue of most people being short of cash post Christmas.

Holding onto Perentie fleet due to faulty G- wagons has been speculated for some time.
AFM and Graysonline are not worried about prices. What does not sell goes to scrap metal.
My damaged Perentie on ebay has had over 1700 hits, there will be no lack of interest due to post Christmas shopping-- of course looking and buying are different things.

The list is automatically populates from the database, so as soon as I 9or anybody ) makes a change it carries through to those tables. you can tell which pages do that because they are a .php page instead of a .html page

When is an auction, not an auction....
Is it just me, or do the ADF / AFM / Gray's alliance appear to be very spooked by the asbestos hoodoo??
I ask this as it appears we just lost another auction that was to be held by Gray's, at Moorebank. Scheduled to end on the 25th Feb, this auction, for those that didn't see it, was advertised on Gray's and suddenly disappeared. From the auction page, it seems that they had at least one Inter 6x6 and a workshop trailer that had been converted to something else?, up for grabs. I'm presuming that the Inters had a higher percentage of asbestos in them than the Landy fleet?
Would love to hear a response to this from someone anyone in 'authority'. It's about time they dropped the smoke and mirrors routine and informed us of what's going down.
Cheers,
Daryl the mushroom.

ummm... those two probably weren't part of the vehicle disposal program ....
I think they were just excess to the SME Museum (?)...Anyways... different fleet/disposal manager etc.
Fingers crossed another museum put their hand up for them, but who knows :)

I guess that's what my point is Pete, that we don't know. These things are cancelled without regard to the people that support the system. Seems a tad sus to me.

The 110 firewalls were pulled from the auction with the other auction mob to, very disappointed about that had been looking forward to the auction start got home from work and they were gone??, must be packed full of asbestos to!!. might have to give up on the 110's and get back to rebuilding ex Army series 2A's.

I mentioned elsewhere that AFM called me about the asbestos / PU paint issue. It was not AFM but defence that had insisted on the information discemination.
It was mentioned that there were sme minor issues of supply, but nothing that would hold up the auctions for too long. Has anybody called AFM to ask? I've not had hte time, I started a new job last week.

The F1 with Abbey Crane and the Mk4 were all in the AAMME collection AFAIK have not had the brake shoes replaced since the 1990's so may need to be remediated. Although they are still adjusting the LTE in the collection and having the Abbey crane working and available could be useful for re-positioning items on display, so it could be a case of re-considering the disposal. The issue would be storage space for the F1.
-
I'd love to get hold of one of the F1's with the Abbey cranes. I notice there are only 33 listed in the ARN list though, and I bet the ones still in existence would be hard to get hold of.
Anyone have an idea of a rough price range I would expect to pay? I realise it would vary with the condition, but even a rough idea would be good.
Also, I see in the ARN list that they still have the winch. How is the crane driven? Is there a difference with the transfer cases or do they have a separate engine for the hydraulics?
Actually, I just realised that although they are probably powered the same way the tipper hoists on the F2's are, I have no idea how. Anyone able to explain please?
Greg.
-
powered by a pto off the gearbox , winch is off transfer case same as the F2, the last one I saw sold went for about $13000.00 it was complete & good mechanically but had a post service perkins engine and required a fair bit of work on the cab.
-
Ah thanks for that. It makes sense now.
I suppose you would put the transfer case in neutral and leave the engine running in first or second, using the hand throttle to set the revs, and operate the crane from outside.
-

I'm in love. I took a heap of detail pics that I will upload tonight.
-
I took pics of the doors ;D
-
Hmm, ADG ie SRV by the looks. Cool, thanks.
-
Could they legally sell these without windscreens? Are there doors behind the sidemounted spares? No doors = legal issue????
I currently own a Jeep Wrangler and I know all about trying to run a vehicle without doors!!!!!!
I'm in love too, but just trying to be a realist :(
-
It looks like it has a 'Not For Sale' sign on it and the ATV.

Lots of guys in our club, and at Corowa, drive WW2 Jeeps without doors...

It's not in the current auction. It will have to be sold at some point.
There are doors that open behind the wheels.
-
Possibly an employees car like the black turbo one?
-
They have to win them at auction. They dont get it any easier than us. Other wise I would get a job there.
-

Why not? It's not their responsibility to sell the vehicles in a roadworthy state.
-
Possibly an employees car like the black turbo one?
The black turbo one is actually owned by the owner of Sell And Parker - the parent company, he had to buy it at auction on graysonline and it came from Darwin! just like the rest of us all vehicles MUST be sold and sold through Grays...
I really want that SRV variant!

I note that the bidder from Murwillumbah is active again.
If you place any creed in 'the grapevine', then a target total of 50 vehicles has been bandied about. Let's hope they get there soon!!
Wondering if this is the UK connection?
-
The bidder from Murwillumbah already owns 20 plus Perenties, so I am told..
-
Def not for export or a private army;-)
They will be put to work soon and the owner is very sympathetic to their intrinsic value. No pink resprays or gaudy attachments!

I thought Pink was the New Aus-Cam?

50425 FFR with winch coming to Kal and possibly 50422 in the future. What as the final price on the 1/2ton trailers?
-
Did you get 50 425?
Dad and I went to look at them and Dad picked it as the best of the lot, looks very tidy :)
I was interested in 49 602 (Cargo w. winch) which was pretty rough visually and 48 417 (ditto but sans canopy).
49 went for $8309 and 48 was around $6k during the gone going phase, jumped to $9009 by the end.

Friends got them

Wasn't I off the mark. A little under $25k

Vey Surprised it went for so little, If theres nothing wrong with it, then its a good buy, and its joining its friends in the big shed... Soon there will be one of each....
The RFSV seem to have come down this time round, wonder if we will get to single figures later in the year....

Ah, yes. If prices come down a little more I might pick up a FFR.

The crew cab was tatty, no log book.
The good RFSV in Melb still made good money, condition is important.
-
It is very hard to tell condition from the Pictures online, there hardly high-Res and descriptive to the true condition.
I suppose thats why it went for so little Eric, Tatty as you say.
I think one went for $17k ish..
-
I'm with Young Eric ... tatty from the pics:
1. no gun rack, that is, if the dual cabs ever had them ... can't remember.
2. no tarp.
3. small tears to rear seat cushion and squab.
4. paint ... sad ...looks like it was used to test effects of sun damage in the Simpson for 12 years.
5. looks to have had an engine change, but without logs, can't be absolute on that.
That's without inspecting it. Condition may not be all things to all men, but is to most.
From memory the last DC's max was $27K? Please correct me if wrong, as the old memory seems to have deserted me.

Hello All,
I've just recently signed up to the forum as I've wanted to get my hands on a 6x6 for decades and this forum has a wealth of information on them. Congratulations to all on that. I've been voraciously reading the posts on this particular thread and watching our friends at Grays and it seems that Minto regularly has far more on offer than elsewhere. Could someone let me know if this is always the case?

HI,
Yes, Minto is the head office for Australian Frontline Machinery - the company with the rights to on sell the Defence vehciles, they use Graysonline as their auction house.
AFM arrangements includes all vehicles to be sent to Minto (this happens to about 90%, there are a few exceptions) where a inspection, grading and admin is done. They then send some to Melb/Brs/Adl. Generally the ones they send to other locations are above average, Minto can have a lot of poor ones.
If I was you I'd consider buying from any location, a bit of trouble inspecting and transporting but if you end up with the right one it's all worth it. I bought my first FFR from a Brs sale, had RACQ inspect it for me.
Hope this helps
Regards
Scott
-
Thanks for the info. I had a brief look at the two from the last Brisbane auction. They were parked in the muddiest spot in the yard and I didn't bring a tarp and overalls to crawl under them. Note to self don't inspect vehicles on the way to work :)
I'm not desperate to buy one in the next 24 hours but it'd be nice to do it before Christmas, but saying that is there any way to find out how many have been sold already and how many are left to go. I'd hate to miss the boat entirely.
-

Yes they are all listed in the database on the webpage but at a guess about 1500 + to go

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone has had any issues fronting up for registration with a manufacturer's letter as opposed to a proper compliance plate?
DS
-
They have a compliance plate no need for a letter from LRA :)
There a couple of thousand already registered so no problems with the comp plate
-
I think Disco Stew is referring to the fact that in some Perenties the compliance plate is in fact missing and a letter from LRA is relied upon for proof of compliance.
If registering inNSW, the ones I have seen come with a blue slip, the RMA don't sight the vehicle so there should be no issue.
Pete
-
I have not seem many without a plate but as they are already on the system a letter should not be a problem :D
-
I know a bloke who rego'd one with an LRA letter in Tassie and there was no problem at all. (no, not me).
None are on 'the system' down in Tassie. Each and every one has to have it's vin checked over the pits and then you take the paperwork to Service Tas and all hell breaks loose, as they can't find the vin on their system. Service Tas then ring the Transport dep't and get said boffin to enter it into said system. Boffin then rings you directly and tells you it's OK to rego. Takes about an hour for this little dance to end, meanwhile, after actually listening to the staff of Service Tas and going home to wait for the call ... expected to be tomorrow ... to find on your return that said boffin has already left you a message on your talking type telephone machine ... nice day for another drive, I thought! You don't want to know what I really thought, do you??
-
I reckon whoever you take it to in Qld to get a safety certificate will have a fit when they find out there's no compliance plate - letter or otherwise. There is always a way around these kinds of hassles though.
-
I took a vehicle to get a rego check done in nsw and when the mechanic lifted the bonnet there was no compliance plate. Can't register this mate. I told him that I had some panel work done and the repairers hadn't replaced the plate.
Well no problem then he says we'll make a new one. So out of his box of tricks he gets a blank plate and puts all the details in off the rego papers.
That'll be fifty bucks thanks
Did the job though.
Pete

Next question. Let's say all the planets align and I manage to get my hands on a 6x6 how many hoops do I have to jump through to get three seats in the back complianced in the smart state (or that's at least what my number plate calls Queensland)?

You'll need to get a VASS engineer to have a look at it. He'll then tell you what modifications need to be done, if any.
He then issues you with a blue modification plate.
Sounds simple. Let us know how you go.

Looking at the RFSV offerings at Welshpool, I've noticed that most don't have any air compressor, so my question is ... what did the operators use to re-inflate tyres? I know that this isn't all that relative to this thread, but, I'd like to know why the compressors are missing.

G'day Matt.
Those are all early releases (late '90)
All of the 2 seat compl ones are '91s.
I confess to only being able to guess that someone decided 3seat/ 3600kg was too much.
-
Ah, beauty. Thanks Dave.
Matt
-

Matt
I thought that the 3200kg vehicles were converted FFRs and the 3600kg 3 seaters were original RFSV ordered. Hence the distinction on the compliance plate between 'military 4x4' (original FFR) and '4x4 RFSU' (original RFSV).
Is this not the case?
-

Did anyone make it to the W.A auction inspections today? Would love to know what condition they are in.

Interestingly - although probably only to me and whoever bought it - 48-008 is wearing its original Training Command and School of Transport TACs in that photo. So at least the first 3 production Perenties went straight to the School of Transport (as 48-010 was sent there originally as well - thanks Mike C). From the auction photos it seems it has retained many original features, which will be nice for the new owner. Hopefully they show up on the forum.

AFM have listed an Isuzu 4BD1T engine ex-6x6 in the next auction, as well as truck sized tyres. Hopefully more spare parts will come through soon!
They also said they are opening showrooms in Adelaide, Darwin, Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, pretty big auction this one!
-
I'll be interested to see what the engine goes for
-
Engine, depends if its new or used. I would take it no warranty will be offered on it?
-
The photo shows a used engine but it does say engines, plural. AFM might be onto some good money if the truck, generator and marine 4BD1 operators get wind of the sale.

-
definitely doesn't look like a new engine. Who knows what condition it is in - possibly even been seized. You would need to bid to reflect the worst condition seeing as how it cant be started unless they warrant it and that would be extremely unlikely.
-
Does anyone have any early links to the auction catalogues

Doesn't appear to be any No5's

Compliance plate states 3 seats, not 4, and "RFSU". Two delivery plates. Perhaps the space under the locker lids/checkplate platform in the middle of the rear floor would be for recovery gear, or ammo.

The 6x6 Crew Cabs came with an air compressor in that spot as standard. From (very) distant memory they were not very good. Not sure if that's the original or an in-service replacement.

I think this month's Minto auction is showing a price trend: up.
Last month a 4x4 GS or FFR broke the $10k barrier, and again this month, 24hrs out from the final bid, the best GS example is over $10k.
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0025-5014945
The RFSVs are doing well as well. Is it just because there is no Melbourne or other capital city auction?

Probably the worst Investment buying one of these, if you were thinking of buying one to rebuild, good luck, bonnets missing, $2000+ new and none 2nd hand, new door $1200, dash board well nothings on one so $$$$ plus the engine.
Chassis could be worth having for the time when someone might need one, but they will only want to pay a few hundred for it, bodys worth a few hundred maybe. Missing engine add $ 4/5 K

Well, I already have one 2nd hand 6x6 bonnet and know where there's 2 others, already have a driver's and passenger's door as spares. Anything else can be found, but there's no way anyone would be paying Landybitz prices! Why would you price the engine at $4/5k, when the vehicle's original 4BD1T is listed in the same auction and will likely sell for substantially less than that?
-
You might that does not make them grow on trees does it., and i was talking about new doors, not crappy old ones.
True things turn but there hardly off the shelf parts.
And Landybitz don't sell engines, but if you think you can get a new engine for less than 4/5k please point me in the right direction. Those engine listed are not new or for that matter reconditioned, so technically you could end spending a lot more than 4/5k on having one rebuilt because you were silly to buy a dud.

That chassis looks like it's been re-galvanised, I suspect a Tenix rebuild. The log book needs looking at.

Perhaps the ARN listed as 200238 might confuse things. But MC is right, 200-238 is an Army ARN. The 200 series were originaly purchased to carry the Parakeet comms system. The 6x6 crew cabs are another example - they were purchased for Parakeet only and are in the 200 series.
Cheers.
-
Gday all,
Does anyone know how "incomplete and not operational" the 6x6 engines are?
Any news from the last ones auctioned?
Thanks,
Paul.
-
Mate, unless you can hear it running you would have to consider there is something wrong with it and bid accordingly. I am astounded what some people are paying for these engines not knowing what condition they are in.I know someone who purchased one from the last auction ( well over 2K) and it had a spun crank bearing so it's going to cost a considerable amount to fix as you can't grind the turbo engine crankshafts, and I can imagine what a new tufftrided crank would cost!!

Surely you would assume that if it wasn't a new engine it was removed for some reason...
-
i have only seen 1 mog dump come up for auction.
My time in the engineers i saw way more mog dumps than i did mack dumps
-
The army tend to be very regimental about things, you don't just dump a engine on a old pallet if it was any good, it would be on a engine frame, and if reconditioned would say that on the engine tags.

-
And stupid prices for the used 6x6 turbo engines. I still can't believe anyone would pay those prices for a condition unknown engine. Must be a lot of showers in Sydney.
-
What did the double cab go for? Just being curious...
-
$23409 plus 16%. Slightly more than the last auction where it was sold. Guessing that the last auction was won by a bogus bid.
-
last sale it made $ 22,409.

Good deal then
-

How much?
hope there's some wreck 110's in Melb one day!
-
$3309 + extras. Some people obviously have too much money or else inside information. No way I would pay that for an engine that is condition unknown. I guess it's possible that it is a good runner but just as likely it's possible that it is a dud - That is the risk you take in this sort of auction.
-
Did anyone notice one of the engines had a lot of black paint on it...
-
Yep, saw that, that's to make it look like it's been reconditioned!!
-
It's called a Dulux rebuild!!!
-
I though someone said on there recently these were good buys... and would fit straight in the 6x6 without the engine. Seems most people would think that bloody stupid.
-
I put 1 bid in on an engine and then thought better not.
But for just over $3000 you only need the turbo to be ok to break even.
Then you have a spare alt, inj pump, injectors, the list continues.
My thoughts anyway.
Paul.

Looking at the condition of the vehicle it came out of, it had probably had previously gone through the Tenix rebuild program. But without the Service Record Book, there's no telling the reason why the Ambulance was reduced to parts (missing G/Box might be a clue, or a red herring). Without knowing why the vehicles were taken out of service (perhaps a blown gearbox, who knows?), there is simply nothing in any way, shape, or form to suggest or rule out engine failure. Compare the cut Heater hoses to see what engine came out of which Ambo. I think this parting out was more likely done by AFM rather than the Army.
I though someone said on there recently these were good buys... and would fit straight in the 6x6 without the engine. Seems most people would think that bloody stupid.
If you re-read what I wrote Juddy, I pointed out the engines had been canabalised out of those Ambulances, and it was YOU who had to say they were the worst investment you could make, as usual without any justification. I made NO suggestion as to them being either a good or bad buy. And you wouldn't have to be "Bloody Stupid" Juddy to think that the original engine would fit back in to the original vehicle it came out of. For some reason you seem to think that any engines sold through auction have to have an unconditional warranty, when NOT ONE of the hundreds (or is it thousands yet?) of engines sold in vehicles in the auctions yet have had any such warranty.

One of the 2 in the last auction had a stuffed crankshaft (spun bearing) and there was also nothing to suggest there was anything wrong with it either. It turned over ok but the problem surfaced when it was started. As I said possibly there is nothing wrong with them but just as possible they could have been hydrauliced or cooked and you wouldn't know until you tried to start it. That's the gamble you take if you buy a condition unknown engine - buyer beware and bid accordingly. You might get a bargain but just as likely it could be a lemon.

And you wouldn't have to be "Bloody Stupid" Juddy to think that the original engine would fit back in to the original vehicle it came out of. For some reason you seem to think that any engines sold through auction have to have an unconditional warranty, when NOT ONE of the hundreds (or is it thousands yet?) of engines sold in vehicles in the auctions yet have had any such warranty.

And your point is? or Is not. They are a bad investment, if you get a bad one. Justification get real, there on a pallet for a reason. And I don't think they should have any unconditional warranty, the land rovers don't.
You seem to be having a nasty go at me, for no valid reason please don't.

While you are there presale “keep your eye’s peeled” for that little ferry that steals all the locker keys... Dam they must have a collection now. :(
-
Not one locker key there. And out of all those there today only one had a full ces kit.
By all accounts the Chinese are coming to look and taking ces and other bits.

Both from what someone told me at the last one, when I was there a few weeks ago they was a few of them looking around, can't say they had a clue what they were looking at mind.
-
Alan at Minto has a draw full of locker keys. He gave me two when I picked up my RFSV and then it had two in it already.
I don't think there has been a time when I haven't found a log book or manual in a vehicle on the Monday inspection tucked away in a glove box or door pocket.
I always give them to Alan so they don't get "lost"

For starters, it looks to be a relatively early example in really good condition. Note the lights, reflectors and bridge plate.

No camo paint is bonus for series collectors, original light fitment, no brake on passenger side but has bucket brack and tail light, no rust, straigt draw bar etc etc
-
Interesting. On that topic, I plan to bid for a trailer in the near future. Are there any other points to look out for - for or against the lots on offer?
Obviously no rust, straight draw bar, lights working, reflectors, made of gold.... any others I want to look out for?

Got some nice RFSV front axles .... mmmm.

Some nice goodies in there! It will be interesting to see the condition once the purchaser has tried to use them.
-
Yes. Some items look way past their use-by date.
-
Which is probably why they were removed in the first place. I want to see new old stock, not second hand rubbish haha

Even saw a 6x6 front diff centre with stripped crownwheel in there. Wonder what someone will pay for that?.The 4x4 wreck with almost zero mechanicals left was over $900 last I looked!!

Those in Brisbane are no very good, yet people are bidding unseen. Other than a couple.

Heads up on the Brisbane vehicles please.

Slim pickings in Melbourne.

Two of those 6x6 front diff centers have CWP probs that can be clearly seen, but good old Grays still tell us that 'condition unknown'. Yeah, sure! And that's only from the photos. Hate to think of what other gremlins are 'unknown' in some of this trash.
C'mon Grays / AFM... Get Real!!!
At least with Manheim, you get anything 'condition unknown' as 'sold as scrap'. You can't be more upfront than that.
And as for $100 bid increments for junk ... geeez, that's the best laugh I've had for a long time. Plain, unadulterated Greed!

If the army is still running 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles, I would wonder why they would sell anything good at the moment.
Sure, get rid of the crap while there is "initial interest"in the spares, but why sell the good stuff when it might be needed for fleet reapirs or maintenance.
Just my thoughts.

Thy won't sell much of the good stuff at the moment all that they will sell off will be uneconomic to repair. Having said that you will see the odd good bits come out as defence lowers it stock levels in warehouses. Most of the parts will be sold off when they are nearing the end of the Perenties in service.
Cheers

-
Thanks guys.
Yes, I'm really not concerned that they aren't selling the good stuff yet, but it's giving me the irits that they are either knowingly selling crap, or they are just too lazy to give it the once over and provide a half decent service to the long suffering on-line punters, or, both!

Most of the stuff being sold will be from the workshops. The good stuff in the warehouses will take many years to sell off. From their inventory systems they do not have parts identified as being for a Land Rover, it is just a part number. They might be able to tell those items that are supplied by JRA tho. Simply, they cannot identify all the parts they hold for land rovers, so can't easily sell them.

We'll put rovernut that's where I was leading to. Part numbers don't mean as much as a NSN but if you have the part number you can get the NSN. If you have either you can find stock levels and what warehouse has what you want, all you need is a reason to order and an ARN to book it to and you have your parts.

What I was trying to say is that if you need a part for a Land Rover and have the number you can get. But from the warehouse end, they cannot identify that part as belonging to a Land Rover. So every time they retire equipment, it takes years for them to identify the parts that belong to that piece of equipment sitting in the warehouse. It usually takes someone to investigate why none of those parts have been moved for a couple of years and then they will try and find out what it belongs to. I have seen aircraft parts still in the warehouse for planes they have not had for decades. Simply because it was always a slow moving line and nobody bother to find out what it was for.
Then there is also the factor of budgets. The buyer for Land Rover parts will have a budget to spend on parts and repairs. He is usually afraid that if he does not spend it, his budget will be reduced, so he is probably still buying new parts for Land Rovers. They also quite often use up their budgets for repairs, but not their budget for new parts. So instead of fixing it, they buy a new one and wait for the next budget year to fix the old one.
It is a complicated world when it comes to Defence warehouse parts, so don't expect a rush of Land Rover parts to come on the market at a particular point in time. It will be sold once they are all gone and as they work out what parts they need to get rid of.

I think they guys at AFM do a great job. On an unauthorised walk into.the workshop. Before I was kindly asked to leave by Colin, I noticed they had three mechanics, one guy washing cars and a guy on the forklift. I assume it would take time to get the rovers up and running each month. I'm not sure they'd have time to look at the parts. Probably just open the crate and blow the dust off.

Here is the latest 'great job' read '11th hour extortion attempt' from your buddies at Grays/AFM!

Smack me about a bit ... am I dreaming? or are they trying to scam me? Where was that gem of info on the Grays site at the time of auction end?
I'll leave it with you, but just a note ... at no time have I, or any of my associates ever collected anything from Grays that was outside the collection time nominated by Grays and at no time have Grays ever had any difficulty receiving any payment.
It's not about how they treat you when you're there, but about how they treat you when you're not! It's called a 'mission statement'.
Did anyone else get this email?
-
I also found this email on my computer yesterday. As you say there was no mention of this up to auction end. How is anyone who purchased a gearbox or axle or engine supposed to pick them up - stupidity saying you have to bring your own forklift.
-
I got the same email too, mind you I was asking about it. I asked if I could pick up a trans Tuesday instead of Wednesday. They also told me that there would be a forklift available to load out the parts/crates.
I have seen similar emails and notifications befor, but I've never seen it enforced. They are probably just trying to encourage people to do the right thing and pick them up at the right times so they can organise themselves and don't have too many vehicles moving around while they are trying to do the forklift work ?
You have to remember, with emails, you can't hear tone of voice so it must be read with a positive attitude:).....or maybe there just a**holes ;) hahaha, who knows!!
-
I suspect it's a standard email designed to get people to collect and not leave stuff lying around. When I was at Adelaide a few weeks ago getting my trailer, their forklift was working overtime bringing stuff out to put on trucks and trailers for customers. I actually went to check out my trailer the day BEFORE pick up to make sure it was ok to tow etc, and as a result of that visit scored some significant extras with it.

I picked up an unserviceable Perentie last year from Minto. The driver was expecting to be pointed in the right direction and that he would be winching it on. To our surprise they put it on the tilt tray with a forklift.
Moorebank do not appear to be so helpful.
As far as I know Minto have always had time restrictions on pick up. Three trailers and two Landrovers so far all the same and no problems.

Any chance anyone inspecting can tell me which gear boxes have the winch PTO attached?

And while the above kind person is there, can they please :) tell me which 4x4's are rubbish and not to be bidded on??

parts pats parts parts Inter SRV SRV!!
-
Anyone got any idea if any of those Garrett turbo's are any good. I don't plan on overboosting mine but it's always good to have a spare!!!!
-
New with warranty might be better on the Garrett's
-
Too true Justin. They are only about $900 new (Genuine with warranty).
-
I was looking at all these used parts, and what is worrying is that buyers end up with a useless part, or one that will fail soon after fitting, with no come back then offer it for sale again, and someone else then takes the pain.
-
Yes it's a shame they don't leave the unserviceability tag on so at least you could know what the problem was (if any). Some of them appear to be new condition but are described as "used" so that is how you have to bid!! Can't believe that people are buying the stuffed radiators they are offering - they are scrap value only or to be used for a recore resource only!!
-
There looks to be a brand new rear axle assembly and gearbox, they are getting some good bids!
-
Any chance anyone inspecting can tell me which gear boxes have the winch PTO attached?
Like you looking for a gearbox that has the PTO addition. Had a hunt thu them today, as a rank amateur :o, under guidance from the Frontline guys (extra attachment at the bottom of the box) I could only see this on the 6x6 units.
If you had a 6x6 an impressive brand new looking box there.

Which PTO did you spot? Obviously the 6x6's have the third axle PTO, but did they have the PTO on the inspection plate for the winch? Is that what you meant by 'bottom of the box' ? So all 6x6 gearboxes have the winch PTO?

Yes, looking at the wider diameter end there is attachment/linkage at the right bottom with a red cable coming out, which the Frontline guys said was the PTO to drive the winch. I was looking at the 4 4x4 boxes and none that I could see had a similar component. There were lots of 6x6 boxes with it so I assume most 6x6 have winches. Should have taken a pic :(

I take it you don't require a spare wheel in NSW to obtain a blue slip?

No, you don't.
Nor do you need one to get a RWC in Vic.

Very strange, and not useful if you get a flat tyre.

Why so? Some new cars don't come with spare wheels.

A spare is not required for rego but if you have one the tread does have to be legal.
-
Really, I thought all new cars came with a spare of some kind, so how many manufactures sell new cars without a spare?
-
What cars should have and what is a roadworthy requirement are two different things.
Certainly BMWs with run flat tyres do not come with a spare from new (not even a space saver).

Lots.
Peugeot for one.

Gah, I was all set to bid on a trailer. Got called into a meeting, missed the end of the auction. Not sure they weren't too rich for my blood anyway.
The hard top looked in pretty good nick to me, but I didn't look too closely. They're *much* better at presenting the trucks in Sydney than in Brisbane. All polished up and whatnot.
-
WA is the only state having difficulties at the moment hope it stays that way :D
I registered an LRPV with door wheels and no windscreen in WA. Had to have windscreen wipers though. Picked up a 6by gearbox with winch PTO for $359 at Minto. That makes two. The first one has a full recon except the winch drive which had not been cleaned. Off to Darwin Sunday to bring back the 2 haulmark tandems. Should be a good trip in the FFR.

Form a circle to keep the missus at bay. Painting and selling most of them. I'll keep the best one for behind the FFR, not sure about the haulmark yet but I'll probably put a water pod on it for cadet activities. The other haulmark belongs to a mate in Kalgoorlie.

Have a mate up here who purchased a 6x6 at the last Brisbane Auction.
He just purchased a complete front axle yesterday from Sydney.
Anyone suggest contact name and/or details for a trucking company that can pick up
and transport to SE Qld. Might save us a bit of ringing around.

cost me just on $5000 to get an LT77 re-conditioned from a Discovery.
This price cheap for what looks like a new gearbox.

I'd hate to see the final price if you had to buy all those parts new, if you could that is. ;)

Isn't there a problem there - I remember my Minto pickup last year and you had to produce matching ID such as a drivers licence to get a handover.

Probably don't care as they know they are going to get good money for it as is. Have a look at pic #18. The fan is on back to front and won't help with the cooling like it is. Hope whoever buys it picks it up before any long travelling.

do share the sneaky pic. I hope to check them out on tuesday
Here are the photos, taken with my phone with my arm fully stretched out to reach over the fence with the mesh over it (trying to explain why they're so awful).

Also some interesting things in this shot too - black Perentie with grey bullbar (?), AFM's promotional Snr Com.

I took a picture of the black Perentie two years ago. My guess is that it was AFM's in-house attempt at the promotional civilianised Perentie before they got KLR to make the proper version.

The blades are still angled the correct way, just a bit closer to the engine. As long as it doesn't foul on anything it should still be efficient so long as the shroud is in place.
-
Using the curved outwards rear side of the blade will make it much less efficient whether the shroud is there or not.

Yeah but, in the photo, the convex side is to the radiator and the concave side is to the motor. i.e. on correctly.

Have another look at the photo, the motor turns clockwise from the front. If you reckon that fan is on the correct way you better have a look at the ones on your vehicles.

So, the fan is meant to be pushing the air out through the radiator. Is that what you are trying to say? In that case, turning the fan around won't make much difference. You'll have to change the angle on the blades.
Still looks ok to me, or they're all wrong.
-
You're not looking at the photo Mick, see if you reckon this fan is on the same way as the 2 you posted?
-
I reckon they will both work but the concave verse convex is to quieten the fan noise :)

It's just been put on back to front.

Bit of confusion happening here. Bearman replied to the "Demonstrator" (Lot 18) link and said that pic 18 showed the fan on backwards. The fan on Lot 18 is actually on the right way around (in pic 17). However, the Personnel Carrier (Lot 14) DOES have the engine fan mounted on the wrong way around and this WILL inhibit radiator cooling. Small error, but well spotted, Bearman.

Picked up one of the front axle assembly's at the auction .. now getting it home seems a slightly bigger challenge than I thought >:( >:(
I am only 2 km from the auction house and thought a couple of the boys, lift one end of the crate and drag it onto the trailer and off we go :-\ :-\
But they state it weighs 300 kg .. so guessing that 3 of us cannot lift it onto a trailer ?? Maybe not ?? I have a block and tackle and could drag a frame down .. is that going to work ??
You advice on the following would be greatly received ...
So for those that have already acquired heavy parts what is the best way to get them home ? Okay solved ... They will Forklift onto my trailer ..
Did they help with a fork lift or something to load onto a trailer? Answer YES :) :)
Cheers ...
Update ..
Rang Frontline contact .. they have a fork lift and will work out how get it onto the trailer so 1st problem solved :) :)
Have a block and tackle, just need to get a frame to hook it on so I can get it off

Just drove past Minto. A fair few 6x6 down beside the warehouse.

And yes, the Wagon is a little worse for wear.

RFSV has had major work done. near original spec. Ha, The side brush bars are now 'Side Rail intrusion bars'!! LOL they are intrusive if you bang your shins on them!
And yes, the Wagon is a little worse for wear.
I know this is probably an old thread now - but thought I would just note that 48-030 now lives on a farm in gippsland.
crossed paths with it today, does not appear to be in good repair.
my notes from the auction has it as very rusty.

This particular vehicle is a mystery, it first appeared in the Feb Brisbane auction where it sold for $16309. The next month, March, it was offered up again, where it made $13909. Now this same vehicle ARN 202486, is in the auction once more! So does this mean that twice the previous winning bidders of this vehicle have failed to pay for and collect their purchase.

Or the winning bid was a fake!

I'm intrigued, how does a fake bid work on that website, as all bidders have to be registered and supply credit card details.

Possibly like other auctions where there is an auctioneers or vendors bid if they think the price is not high enough?

I had a quick look at it, tidy vehicle but i didnt get underneath or read the log book. A little pricey definitely..
Speaking of armorall. It seems like they spray that stuff everywhere. i slipped a few times climbing into some of those perenties. I managed to get lot 25, an ex RAAF ffr to my knowledge. Arn 230159. Less Armorall than most of the others but if my eyes and the log book are correct its got a new gearbox and new front diff. Also some indications of a rebuild. Klr is picking it up for me and will do a check before i fly up to sydney again to drive it back to Melbourne

If you're driving it back from Sth Windsor, grab an unregistered vehicle permit for $22 and get the longest permit time that they'll give you. KLR will point you in the right direction for the local motor registry (RMS in NSW).

Will do dugite. Im looking forward to getting it. Hopefully i can get out before they close the tracks down here for winter

I took pics of the doors ;D
Hey there mate,

Quick question, are there any Brisbane based people looking to purchase a vehicle from Minto?
I'm interested in a bull bar, but they never seem to be available north of the tweed.🤔
-
Budgie, what type of bar are you after?
-
Hi Dave
Im after a RFSV one with the hi lift points and ability to carry hi lift jack.
Regards
Budgie
-
Ah, ok. Had one a couple of Weeks ago. Now have a 'coat hanger' early style.
-
timing is everything :)
-
Hi Budgie, just an FYI.
As you've perhaps noticed, that of the types of RFSV bullbar, those in the current parts auction are the earlier steel type with the hi-lift jack carrier and which you indicate you would like to get.
Those now fitted to the RFSVs on offer this month are the type with the alloy superstructure bolted to the steel "bumper bar" part of the bullbar (and no hi-lift carrier).
We have both types of bar here on different vehicles and while it seems like a convenient spot in which to carry/store the hi-lift it can quite awkward to get the jack out of there without dinging something each time, particularly if you have driving lights installed. I'm wondering if that is why the hi-lift storage space was changed to the lhs basket in later times.
-
Thanks for the gouge Dugite,
Luckily, no extra lights etc. Pity the std GS s didn't have hi lift points as standard.
-
Dugite, having removed and replaced the high-lift numerous time (tactically) and never had a 'Member to pay/ Non-fair wear' form completed, I can say it is easily do-able with a little care. The carrier was removed and bar modified with ally sections as a front-end weight saving measure in the interests of better control and overall safety.
-
Thanks For clarifying BD
-
No worries mate.
-
Oops Dave beat me to it ^^
-
Last time I looked, towards the end of the auction, they had a FFR going for $25,709, a cargo for $15,109 and a RSFV for $19,409.

Some huge prices this month. Those that got vehicles at the awol auction will be very pleased! They could quite possibly sell tomorrow for a nice profit.

Yes, a real SRV-SF - not the ADGie vehicles (I assume that what they are) we've seen so far and called SRVs.

I queried AFM re: registrability of the SRV, their reply as follows:
...The SRV-SF vehicles in this upcoming auction do not have compliance plates and do not meet ADR, so are unable to be registered for use on public roads.
Our records indicate that these are the first of this vehicle type that we have sold.
We have published the relevant information on this vehicle type at www.afmsafety.com.au, which you can download.
Best of luck with the upcoming auction....
SRV-SF docs are now uploaded and available.

Dervish, the SRV SF was redesignated SFPV a few years ago.
The ADG vehicles and Inf recon vehicles are one and the same SRV.
In truth, the SFPV is closer to an ffr with a low and hd ROPS.

Could you buy a wreck from AFM with a compliance plate and do a chassis swap, get it in roadworthy condition and get it registered that way?
-
Ashley, rather than an illegal rebirth, I'd recommend doing the minor work required to make them roadworthy and get a letter of compliance.
If that doesn't work, get a compliant ffr and transfer the good gear.
-

Afm are removing all compliance plates from the wrecks they sell. Not sure it's legal to do this though

Ashley, a chassis replacement is fine but you seem to be suggesting bringing the identity of the details with it. That isn't kosher.
-
The information that the compliance plates are being removed has reached the top of the Sell and Parker/AFM corporate structure. If the plates are being removed by AFM there may be a change in practice very shortly. If the plates are being removed by DMO, AFM have little control but there may be contractual implications so watch this space.

Thanks for the update, Diana.

No, they've been stripped of the good bits, split rims, side baskets, Carl Gustav mounts, MG rings etc etc etc anyway I might be able to give you more details soon ;D
-

Defence recently purchased a large quantity of wolf rims. Looking at those shiny rims and brand new tyres, it looks like the splitties are being stored somewhere. Hawkei SOV is still a little way off.

I don't remember ever hearing about asbestos in the Perenties when I was in the army. Now the vehicles have the warning placards about asbestos content.
I've searched but not found any references to asbestos in Perenties on this site. Where exactly is the asbestos in these vehicles?
Firewall?
Exhaust?
Have civvie owners pulled the relevant components out of these vehicles?
-
I understand that there was some concern that earlier brake linings (in common with civvie brakes of the time) had linings that included asbestos.
AFAIK there is no asdestos in the vehicle.
The printed warnings address liability issues.
Others may hopefully add further detail.

While chatting beside a long line of Perenties at Minto, a lizard (5 to 6 inch) was spotted moving along using tyres as cover. Passed under 3 RFSVs and went to the wall of the shed.
I left a few REMLR cards and had a look at Logbooks. Staff were great. We got showbags! And I got a momento. I met Greg from Canberra and Roger S. too. A good day- pity about the ISIS terrorist incident nearby (~1.6km) http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-11/alleged-sydney-terror-attacker-inspired-by-is-minto-stabbing/7833870
The parts and tyres were of great interest and I got to daydream in the AFM "Not for sale" 6x6 Inf Carriers. They are in pristine/showroom condition.
Also heard that prop people from PacificRim sequel movie prod were looking to buy vehicles for a "action sequence". Could be good source for some spares afterwards.
RFSVs....
All the RFSV have jerry boxes underneath. One even loaded.
One is missing the pintle cover plate/entry step.
Four don't have air - the ARB compressor.
Three have a map bag in back of the front pgr seat if you look closely.
A few have a locker key.
51-787 has a noticable body lean - maybe a set of new coils will fix it. It has a wheel brace.
50-405 has a baseballish diameter dent right down low on the drv side. You cannot see it in the AFM photos, its in the black cam above the side bar mnt.
51-746 is a Pilbara cam scheme RFSV -nb: no compliance plate, a re done chassis number, and no hi lift jack sockets on rear crossmember. But it does have a hi lift in the basket. Thats a bit unusual. Also 3 spare tyres and a little collection of CES in a drv side rear locker.

The tyres have never been fitted to a rim, so they are NOS.

I looked, all the Michelin sets are dated 2013.

Howard
-
I think 3 yrs or triple that is fine with steel belted NOS. They did go for over 600 a set last mth. I think I saw a set go for 780 before fees, so its close to retail in the end. I'd bite if a set was <190 ea tyre incl fees, gst, freight... otherwise I'd go for retail with warranty & fitting/bal.
I only need 2 new tyres to complete a set. I have 2 already. Anyone down this way want to split a set?
-
!!!! Auction results....
I think some new record prices. RFSVs were mainly 20 to 23k plus fees.

The movie studio demand did it for sure.

Fascinating. 28 of those in that ARN section. Were they for rolling CP/HQ Staff, paymaster, stores control, range control, sigs/comms/mail, Survey Corps...

I have chassis # 6 and it would appear to have been a kitchen, it has COUNTRY KITCHEN stencilled on the rear tailgate.
It has 85 stencilled on the Tac plate, maybe it was used by 85 trucks. Mine has a camo paint job, a covered in tin roof also camo .
I have no idea what the ARN is, the previous owner has misplaced the paperwork from where he bought it at auction in Brisbane in the nineties.
They are a beautiful well made trailer. Also thanks for clearing up the MBO manufacturer. I have only found one photo on the net of a canvas covered trailer or an uncovered one for that matter.

Hi Ken, #6 is 108-404. 8)
1967. 9.00x16 tyres. Thats it, nothing else, its all I have.

Thanks Ross, I thought that ARN was something I would never get. It is 1967 and it has 8.25-16 tyres same as the auction one. The rims are split like 16 inch blitz rims but with fine threads on the studs that hold the rims together. You have confirmed what I have always thought that the trailers came from the factory with 9.00-16 tyres, so thanks for the huge amount of help with the jigsaw puzzle of info.

This may seem like a strange question, but are the rims Aluminium or Steel? They look to have the same number (16) of "studs that hold the rims together" as the Ferret alloy rims. Blitz only have 8, but are steel rims.

48-370
Wagon, over 200,000km but a beauty. ex-RAINF School Singelton.
One or two of my photos show this one 'in-service'.
(http://www.remlr.com/photos/pics1/perentiev21.jpg)
Its had a re-paint and a fresh engine at the very least.
The Logbook would tell what else..
I think its the best (cosmetic condition) Wagon ever seen at the auction.
Someone gave this Landy lots of TLC.
What price will it get tomorrow? Over 29,995?
Oh, to have a ton of money... nevermind.
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0020-5021796
-
100pc sure this FFR is ex-Robertson Darwin, and pretty sure the logbook would show ex-Timor.
Its in the AWM photo collection.
Collectible?

Pretty dismal offering in current auctions. Except for Rfsv 48002
I think that's a fair statement.
Do you think 48002 will go to a private collector or someone who doesn't appreciate it ?
IPV number 2
hope someone gets it's that knows what it is

A rather scary document for QLD buyers, ign lock and blackout removal are not so bad, but completely confirming adr compliance could include protrusions and ride/handling performance testing?? Where will it end, will it be like WA??
-
This is getting beyond a joke. They keep changing the rules to suit themselves.
Extended suspension has been around for years and even my 1942 Blitz Truck has working blackout lights.
I just can't lock the truck up though. So why try to change the specs retrospectively.
And by the way Const. Plod there just happens to be a Compliance Plate fitted. ( at least on the Perentie)
And why use a picture of something that's just been issued. Just not to us !!!!
-
Yes I agree that it is a joke, the part that concerns me is that it does not say if it's on application of rego or that it can be redirected to already registered vehicles in QLD meaning that they can pull you of the road at any time?? AFM know about this and are apparently fighting it through the legal system
-
Oh and also, if you have to "confirm ADR compliance" what is the point of having ADR approval plates fitted to them at all?
-
Only one **** to blame, lives in Vic.

Wow, bargains galore!

Mog prices were definitely a gift. GS and FFR were normal range. Not many of them though compared to last month. Two SRVs were back.
No RFSV, no 6x6 other than a throwback from Nov.

Happily take a mog recxovery vehicle myself, but a word of caution, don't expect to use them commercially. I'm working with a bunch of govt types on heavy recovery stuff at present, and changes to legislation are coming. Department of Transport WA have looked at them already and said they won't be licensed in this state. I believe the same is the case for NSW.

I dropped into AFM on Saturday.... I only looked at the 4x4's. A few nice ones and they all come with a recent Army tech inspection report. None of the 4x4 are rebuilds. I think one 6x6 (without canopy) may be.
FYI, some spanker was opening the brake resevoir lids and leaving them partialy open.... Hard to tell unless you looked closely. The ones I found were on lots # 16 & 19.
I told management, but its something to check when you pick one up.
Cheers.

Hmmm ... can't account for such behaviour .... the world is full of 'em it seems
Hopefully people will do their "A" service before they drive off and see stuff like that - but we know many won't and/or won't expect to.
Thanks for the forewarning for potential buyers, Pete.
-
Would anyone who attended the inspection today be willing to make comments on the 6x6 ambulances?
It would be great to hear from someone that has pawed through the steelwork and could comment on any corrosion? I assume that with a blue slip, the roadworthy dependant components would all be corrosion free, but from my previous experience, some items 'slip' through...
From pics, of engine bay, and outer panels, Lot 10 looks to have had a hard life for 19,000 on the ODO, and has no service book (from comments). Where would have she been deployed? And based?
Thanks in advance. Isaac

Good point. I have given this little thought. Hopefully the red mist stays at bay near auction close.
3,650 / 5,600; TARE/GVM as they come; room for stuff = 2 tonne.
3,450 / 4,500; TARE/GVM with some bits stripped and downrated = 'normal rego' = 1 tonne payload. Which is little crazy because I'd buy it only to load up and go walk-about. The GS carries that much (but no luxurious hard body on the back!).

I don't think so. Someone can do the numbers, but I think 26 in service to start with ?

If you want a 6x6, get your LR license and be done with it.
If you are worried about the rego cost of a light truck, perhaps a 4x4 would better suit.

Thanks for the link - I have not seen this before. I'm not sure who the right person is, but the REMLR info for the 6x6 models needs to be updated to reflect this - as it is sitting at the numbers I quoted for all 6x6 variants.

For the record I'm not worried, already have a GS, and agree that LR licence and plated GVM are the only way to go if stepping up to 6x6.

I'm old enough to consider being called a 'Pro' as a compliment. In my time 'Operator' held the same level of esteem.
Still not the worst thing i've ever been called, not by a long shot ;)

Yes I saw them today.
Next months offering.
Maybe my girl is out there.
Lastest I tell was she had been stripped of bits to keep others going.
Might have to do a site inspection..

Jeez mate, I hope it isn't true :-\

Mates at Palmer might be pulling my leg but I knew she had gearbox issues last time she was out so may have come back and been deemed not worth repairing. The contractor in WA rebuilding boxes contract ran out almost 2 years ago and all spares were returned for disposal.

Some more Pilbara RSFVs in WA, but I have a question.
Have any trailers (No5, Haulmark, Cooks, etc) ever been painted to match with the Pilbara scheme? We have seen a good number of trailers come through the auctions over the past couple of years, but I don't recall yet seeing one in a Pilbara scheme.
I can see that a trailer would increase carrying capacity for an extended stay out in the scrub. With the gear hanging off the back of the RFSVs though, were trailers ever a practical option for bush manoevering and articulation? And if they are not suited for trailer usage, why haven't the pintle hooks been removed like the Ambulances and Gunbuggies?
-
When I had my Rfsv when towing my haulmark it would occasionally hit in the drawbar when turning through gulleys. My srv is worse but I have now raised the spare tyre rack up 75mm. Much better. I do think the Rfsv towed boat trailers though in service. Best to ask Dave
-
When I bought my Haulmark PT1 1.2 in 2010 there were 2 other trailers at the same sale with significantly bent A frames and since the current disposal program started there have been a number in the catalogues with bent A frames so this was always a problem.
It's important not to jack-knife this type of trailer when reversing.
(Still prefer the Haulmark over my No.5s)

I'm no expert but some RFSV carried boats on the roof using special brackets, I sold some of the brackets to Juddy. Whether they also towed boat trailers I have no idea.

They did have boat racks, Dave said they then moved on from those and had trailers.

Good question.
During my time, trailers where only used to support training courses and forward field positions in support of ops tasking. We used them on some tasking where we provided health support to the communities. But they where never used on a patrol or operational task where they would need to be painted Pilbara Pink.
Thinking about it, there weren't that many trailers about, and we did have MOG & White Fleet access for larger loads.
You need to think and understand how the vehicles are used and some of that borders on breaching opsec so i'll not go into that here.
hope you understand

No, it is the Infantry Carrier version, so it has the roof hatch at the top front and windows in the front halves on the side (where the AP has the fold down/up hatches).
That said, it will still fit and seal up an Assault Pioneer.

and I only counted 6 4x4's. 3 in NSW, 2 in Vic and 1 in in QLD.
is this about the norm for the Auctions?
-
Unless you have inside knowledge madtuna, for some arcane reason the actual quantity of each type of vehicle to be offered remains unpublished until the day the catalogue is available.
All that those ads tell us is that they plan to have examples of those vehicles available :)
Past experience suggests that there will be many :)
-
ahhh thanks mate.
I just counted what was listed in each auction and thought I don't have a hope in hell. None were listed for here in WA

Thanks Welby, that gives me a bit of hope.
Just wish the buggers would list them.

Lots of Army camping chars (100s), tables, camo solar blankets, rifle bags etc at Minto.... Nice !
-
And a Tasmania Auction. 1x No.5 Trailer will be coming to my place on monday!
-
Nice, I got some rifle bags and some tables to go with the benches i got last month

Were those camping chairs special? $120 some were at.

For a lot of 12 chairs, and some were brand new in plastic. Pretty cheap, you couldn't buy chinese crap for that price.

Ah I thought that was just for one chair... :-\

I have NFI what an NFI Meter measures, and it seems no-one else does either. I know some poeple could have NFI, but have never been able to judge just how much they have. If you do not have NFI, or have a need to measure how much NFI you do have, then FFS be the first to bid!

http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0520-5031343/mechanical-workshops/nfi-meter
I notice that the item's name plate doesn't make any mention of it being an "NFI Meter", so I wonder if someone at Grays is having a laugh in writing the description? Probably that bloke that signs all the logbooks, F Defino?
-
Probably just another misidentified item. They often describe an item wrongly. Especially things like 4x4 and 6x6 axles or centres. Someone will know what it is, as you say what is on the tag under it describes it as an aerial, not an NFI meter.
-
Looks like the NFI part is a joke or typo.
It's for radio frequency and emissions testing, so might be meant to be RFI.

In the current Dec17 auctions I notice Victoria has land rovers and trailers as being auctioned. But when you click the link it only shows you land rovers, no trailers!
-
Just been and had a look at Dandenong inspections, 8 vehicles. Yet on line there is only 5 listed and no trailers listed at all.
When I rang Grays, they told me they were all on the web. Now that I'm back home and checked, still only 5.
Any one else haveing the same trouble ? Ideas ?
-
Seeing the same. Sus.

G'day gents,
Just curious if anyone saw what some of the perentie 6x6's went for at auction today in Sydney. Last opportunity I saw this morning they were getting up there. Still working on my project and loving it. Happy Christmas and New Year to all you folks.
Cheers, Rob

I can't find the $1600 No5. Where was it auctioned?

It was in WA Mick.
I thought it may have been of the VT ferry..

Lot 17 (ARN 154-264) was the highest:

Both are likely SVN tourists, but no comments in the Registry.

I paid less than that for a PT1-1 this month.

There are not many trailers sold in WA. If the WA people want a trailer, they have to buy from Minto then add $1200 shipping. That may explain the high WA prices.
Some nice trailers there, though.

Man, I won 3 last auction and I only wanted one. And I paid less than the previous auction average.
Looks like a bidding war.

The March '18 sales summaries indicate that there are nil No.5 trailers included.
Does anyone know if this means that they are now all sold ?
-
It just means that Defence has not released any to AFM...
-
Or they are scraping the steel bodies (they are part owned by sell & parker..) and just selling the wheels? That seems to be what happened last auction
-
ASFAIK AFM is 100% Sell & parker but their brief is to get maximum back for defence so while people still pay large amounts for the no 5s they will sell them is there a problem with the roll out of the new trailers?
-
How do you know they are scrapping them?
The sets of tires and rims last week could just be extras that the army had they are selling. The two I bought were
AYG rims not the trailer rims and had ok tread not the new tread that most no5 have when being sold from afm.
They are selling wrecked no5 and getting ok money for them.

Any idea whats going on over here in the west. No Perenties at AFM auctions for the last couple of months.
Does anyone know if ADF have any left over here in storage or what.
-
There are stocks still in storage at JLU West, I'm told a number have been transported east though.
no comment as to the reason.
I'm also told the remaining RFSV's here are not expected to be listed for quite some time, citing 'operational requirements'.
No comment also.

Operational requirement= when we flat bed the GSRV in and find we need a part from Austria, we'll 1 for 1 an RFSV out to the patrol ;)

I purchased my 110 in the March Auctions, I rang Frontline Machinery before the Auction asking when they expect to have stock in Adelaide other than trailers. They suggested having a good look at the East Coast stock in QLD, NSW and VIC as that was the last big stock for a while with the next Auctions only having 110's in Sydney. They seemed to be telling the truth as this month only Sydney has 110's. The woman I spoke to said she expected a reduction in 110 stock available for sometime. Thats what I was told, but as we all know, goal posts sometimes change.
-
Ring John or Alan at (Gray's) Minto and they will tell you what is expected and when, however they may not be getting too much information from AFM in advance, but they do find out for you.

Spotted a load of Perenties on a semi headed south of Wodonga on the Hume today. Maybe Vic AFM will have them for auction.

Well, some bargains to be had at the latest auction.
How was the rebuilt Perentie FFR with 127km on the clock for under $10k.
I wonder if the lack of bonnet tool mounts turned the cashed up enthusiasts away?

At least some of the tool brackets and fittings were in boxes in the back - I do not know if this was the case with every vehicle.
-
it was indeed an interesting auction with some of the previous interest dropping off. It looked like all the 'painted' 110's had the tool holders etc in a box in the rear. I did notice the lack of service books being noted as available which would put off a few, it would me. Has the market met saturation with all of those keen fans now owning a 110?

I'm hearing a lot will be held onto up til 2022, especially special variants.
So prices might hold up

What is the process to register a vehicle with no compliance plate ?
Anybody gone through the process in Victoria ?
Or is it easier to get one with a compliance plate ?
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0032-5035167/transport-trucks-and-trailers/land-rover-110-4x4-ffr-no-compliance-plate-new-paint
-
Cannot answer for VIC - sorry.
In NSW it's not currently a problem - AFM should supply a confirming letter with the "blue slip" which enables NSW registration.
If I was in another state, as you are, I would check with the registration authority before buying just to be sure.
Long term when the buyer may want to resell, a potential purchaser may think it is a problem if the vehicle is, at that point, unregistered. Depends on how good the registration authority's records are I guess.
That letter would be one you would have to be careful to keep a copy of I reckon :).

Thanks Dugite,
Its one thing to get the rules from Vicroads, but its proberly another to show up with the vehicle, thats why I was hopeing to hear from somebody in Victoria who has gone through the process.

I think this is a good idea. We already have two ACT aged care complexes with a Perentie on display in the front under a carport next to a flagpole, one in Curtin and another at Lyneham. There may be others I have not seen.
The actual media release behind the "news story" from the ADF also clues us into exactly is respraying the current crop of Land Rovers for the AFM auctions:
"The Land Rovers are being refurbished by 22 Broadspectrum mechanics and spray painters at the Defence site at Bandiana in North East Victoria."
Also, the newspaper missed this great quote:
"Mr Chester said Australia has a rich history of service of the Land Rover 4x4 fleet and was pleased to know this legacy would live on for decades to come."
Those RSL members may have to have high costs for parts to maintain their fleet. Thats good news for those stashing away spare parts and charging prices as if they are investments. Maybe they can donate the parts and get tax writedowns instead..
I recently purchased a original Perentie FFR part from feebay that was unavailable at LRA. It cost me $22 ( $6 more than dealer price ) plus $10 shipping from SEQ. The next day the same seller priced the same item at $40 !! but (headslap) ... a couple of days later it was $60 !! I still haven't left a feedback comment on that deal. (My feedback is low on stock so prices have just increased to $100).
While I'm here, lets just archive the whole MR...
quote
Two hundred ex-Army Land Rovers will be made available to Returned and Services Leagues (RSL) for use on ANZAC Day and at other ceremonies according to Minister for Defence Personnel and Veteran’s Affairs, Darren Chester at the Australian War Memorial today.
Mr Chester said Australia has a rich history of service of the Land Rover 4x4 fleet and was pleased to know this legacy would live on for decades to come.
“Soon RSLs around the country will have their own piece of history on display to share with their communities,” Mr Chester said.
“The Land Rovers have served thousands of soldiers in the Australian Defence Force, on home soil and in operational service in Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands, Bougainville, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iraq.
“The Land Rover will be remembered fondly by soldiers as a tough and rugged vehicle and can now be used to transport veterans at remembrance and other services.”
The Land Rovers are being refurbished by 22 Broadspectrum mechanics and spray painters at the Defence site at Bandiana in North East Victoria.
At least 100 Land Rovers will be offered through an Expression of Interest and ballot process prior to ANZAC Day 2019, and the balance will be available prior to ANZAC Day 2020.
RSLs that would like to apply are encouraged to email AMSO@defence.gov.au

Yep, went to Minto had had good look around. New paint, mud still splattered around on the chassis... and then, the abomination of cut off lift points! Crikey. I asked the bloke 'why' and he said the RMS (NSW Roads and Maritime Services) require it. I guess that's in relation to the bloke issuing the blue slips - even the Unimogs and Macks have protrusions removed (and in the back to be refitted I suppose), but to butcher the Land Rovers and then cover the raw metal with paint is not on.
I'm not trying to talk down the prices, but it's bureaucratic nonsense.
Matt
PS. A few dripping oil too (rear main / front seal), with each sprayed in fresh paint - hubs, wheel nuts, window glass.... I'd bet the blue/brown slip fella didn't drive each vehicle as required. To finish my rant, the compliance plate says the vehicle complies with all regulations on the date of the plate being issued - lift hooks and all. So to say they're not allowed means the compliance plate is no longer valid. That and modifying a chassis (cutting bits off) usually requires an engineering signatory to say the modification is compliant. It's annoying. I'm going to have a lie down now.
-
Absolute bull**** is all I can describe it as.
-
So what happens when it comes too Blue Slip time for those that dont have the chop? Will they be made to for future Blue Slips.
-
the land rovers in the dandenong sale have a victorian roadworthy certificate, and still have the tie down points on.
-
So what happens when it comes too Blue Slip time for those that dont have the chop? Will they be made to for future Blue Slips.
As ever, it will depend on where and how a person gets their "blue/pink" slip I'm afraid - some owners in WA have had to face this from the time they purchased them. They were able to install a larger diameter temporary bar between the lift points which, apparently acceptably (!), reduced the protusion.
It is difficult to not be cynical.
-

Really! they're auctioning them with roadworthies now. They didn't when I bought mine.
Didn't need much for a roadworthy, though.
Just on the bull bars, I have a Territory. I tapped a roo and Shannons decided to write off the vehicle despite the damage being minimal.
The vehicle needs a VIV which means an inspection by Vicroads.
To prevent me having to go through this bull**** again (I tap a roo about once a year.) (The Commodore and Camry stood up to these incidents but modern cars that are made from tinfoil don't.), I had a new ECB bull bar fitted a couple of weeks ago.
I have been informed verbally this new bull bar may not pass the Vicroads inspection. They tell me this is because of new bull bar regulations recently adopted. I'm trying to find out what these new regulations are.
Maybe this is because of the new regulations?
-
If the ECB bar carries a compliance plate or sticker saying it is compliant for your Territory when it is legal. No sticker/plate means it is illegal.
-

Yes, it does have the sticker. I'm still trying to find these new regulations. No one has heard of them.
Maybe the engineer I spoke to is a little confused.
-
There is nothing new in the regulations have been around for quite a long time - in fact about as long as tow bars have had to have compliance plates so about 10 years or so. Prior to that I think you are on your own and almost anything can be fitted - the rego rules on removing rops for Perenties probably doesn't have a leg to stand on if someone took up the legal cause due to their age, exactly the same if a 5 poster bar was fitted would not be illegal as the age of the vehicle predates the more modern rules.
So if the compliance plate/sticker says it is complied for your model Territory then you will be fine.
As you might be aware I have a Range Rover Sport - basically the same a Disco 3 and the Disco 3 bull bar fits straight on BUT it cannot be legally fitted as the compliance plate names the D3 not a RRS so I cannot fit one to my car.

I suppose if you were a pedestrian hit by a Mack truck, you wouldn't want any protrusions on the front bumper, they could hurt!

hi all 9 vehicles from last auction look like they are off to south Africa ?

all the Unimogs as well >:( >:( :'(

G'day Fellas,
Current auction. I'm sure when first listed on Thursday in the Vic listing there were maybe three or so 6x6 perenties. Now there are none. Am I dreaming or confused???
Cheers, Rob
-
Yes Rob6x6 there was Sixbies and now there are none. Gather it's their right to remove lots, but I believe thats a first with the military auctions.

Same, Rob.
(edited)
One of 6x6 GS comes with normal height snorkel (similar to SRV). is it unusual? I never see one with it in service.
Cheers, Perentiewrecker
-
6x6 Assault Pioneer and the Mortar Carrier both have the snorkel.

Bandiana 4x4 Land Rover FFRs.
There are a dozen of them for April. This is the first time at Bandiana I think? Minto in Sydney has no LRs. And no 6x6 to be seen in all the auctions. Tons of Macks and Mogs.
The FFRs have had parts removed to get the local rego approval. B/O lights, sugar scoops, airlift parts, pintle hook, tool holders, Joe Coolin' windscreen supports... all removed. They have the repaint and new canopy (auscam) treatment and some have new tyres. Most have the Army plates still attached (covered with cardboard). Unusual.
See photo of one of the Federals, almost a hwy pattern. Only some have new Federal tyres to be passed as roadworthy in civvy street, some still have Michelins.
Now during 2017-18 a trainload of NOS Michelins were auctioned out thru AFM as we all know. Then in 2019 the Bandiana Q gets a request for tyres 'cause some LRs have high-km/high-wear Michelins. Hmmm. "Out of Stock". So then either the taxpayer or AFM buys new asian tyres. Maybe 100 sets, who knows. I first thought that they were perhaps replaced due to the Michelins being inspected for date of manuf. -and rejected as they were 2013 manuf, in the main... but thats not the case. Manuf. date is not an issue for roadworthy down there as I saw some of this April dozen wearing low-km/low-wear Michelins.
Well, the taxpayer won't be at a loss overall, the bid prices are covering the Federal tyres, paint, canopy and more. But still...
ps,
http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0047-3015516/ is 50-247, and (like my FFR) it is from Bandiana RACT. It is one that has an in-service recovery type photo. It is wearing the Michelins.
-
That snorkel was unusual for the 6x6. They might turn up next month.
Cheers Rob
-
Yes Rob6x6 there was Sixbies and now there are none. Gather it's their right to remove lots, but I believe thats a first with the military auctions.
Actually, a number of lots have been withdrawn over the years for various reasons. Some for very good reason and others that just leave you scratching your head :D
-
Anyone know why the rebuilt motors in the most recent Bandiana auction went for far less than the last auction? I think I remember seeing that the turbo motors went for about 5k in the last auction and 3k in this auction. Non turbo ones went for about 2.5k last auction and 2k this auction. 2k for a rebuilt motor is a bit of a bargain imho.
-
I was bidding on the 6x6's at Bandiana, and then received this email:
Dear Valued Customer,
The vendor has instructed us to remove Lots 43, 49, 50 and 51 from sale 3015516.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Kind regards.
That's all I know - there where 3 x Cargos, and 1 x flat bed..
Cheers,
GG.

looks like the RFSV has been pulled from the Minto Auction.

I noticed that Rob6x6! Was keen to see another RFSV out there... I reckon there can't be too many left.

I'm hearing that Pickles have taken over the selling of the ex Army vehicles and equipment from Grays on line.
Any one know why?
The little bit of use of Pickles on line site that I have done was a awful experience compared to using Grays on line.

AFM haven't listed the Pickles auction on their site. I'm tipping the disposal contract may have come to the end.
46 Airds Rd Minto warehouse is also up for lease.
Maybe the Dept of Defence are now disposing if them directly through Pickles as they did with Fowles back when they disposed of the S2a and S3 Landrovers.
-
Yes, only one more auction to be held in Sydney. Grays are no longer the auction house for AFM and Pickles have taken over.
Cheers, Rob
-
AFM have sent out a notice about the change with Pickles as the new auction site

RFSV 51 639 CURRENTLY ON THE PICKLES AUCTION SITE
-
Yes, only one more auction to be held in Sydney. Grays are no longer the auction house for AFM and Pickles have taken over.
Cheers, Rob
So, just to clear up the potential inconsistencies, do you know if this definitely means that there will be no more AFM disposal auctions from Sydney after this next one ?
Or, in fact do you know if it is just a change of auctioneers for AFM ?
-
Hi,
I received an email from AFM, see below.
We're excited to announce that Australian Frontline Machinery is making some changes, and we wanted you to be the first to know about it!
From August 2019, all Australian Frontline Machinery auctions will now be facilitated by Pickles. For more information about our new auction partner, please visit:
Our site in Minto, Sydney will host its last auction in August, as from October 2019, Australian Frontline Machinery auctions will be based in Bandiana (Albury/Wodonga). Whilst we're sad to say good-bye to our Minto site after six fantastic years, we're moving so that we can provide the best service and largest range of ex-Defence assets to our customers. Moving to Bandiana will allow us to auction a greater variety and volume of ex-Defence assets - faster.
What else is changing? Not a lot! Australian Frontline Machinery will still be the exclusive reseller of ex-Defence assets. We hope you're as excited about these changes as we are and thank you for your continued support.
As always if you have any questions, please feel free to contacts us.
- Australian Frontline Machinery
Cheers 84

Lot 29, a FFR "with chassis damage and low range gearbox issue" has a 'Add Extra 81,601km' sticker on the odometer. Thats a new feature...

The RFSV like the later AFM ones has had the front lift points removed. Unfortunately even though it is a shame they are cut off it is a bigger shame that Pickles don't seem to do the job as well, as it is a straight vertical cut quite close to the lift hole, unlike the nice rounded cuts AFM did.
It is also a shame that Pickles don't seem to advise the ARN in the auction details. You can see the VIN, but as many of the RFSV's are not on the REMLR database it is not possible to look up the ARN. The chassis number looks like SALLDHAZ177474401 but I could be reading it wrong, is it possible to see what the ARN is somewhere?

Most of the recovery/lift point cutting is done at Bandiana by Defence. Minto have done some in the past though.
Cheers

Hi David
RFSV - ARN for lot 26 at Pickles is 51-639. It is on the first page listing in the sale after CP details. The ARN is there for all the vehicles but it takes a bit of looking!
Cheers STDDIVER
-
Thanks STDIVER, I can see the ARN now.
The REMLR database for the RFSV 51-639 shows Archive Photo, Ambulance Conversion. 2010, No longer converted?? Archive Photo, 1/15 Royal NSW Lancers 2010. LCPV ??
Whilst I am not buying just interested, (I am very happy with RFSV 50-417, and don't need another,) I wouldn't mind seeing the photo if it could be posted up.

David

Can you tell me how do you navagate to the next page with the ARN please.
-
Gidday Eric - go back to the previous page or main page for the auction and it is in the side description - I will try and attach a screen capture of the page!
I wish they made it easier to find things as I was comfortable navigating around Gray's site. I will just have toi adapt and overcome.
Cheers STDDIVER
-
G'day every one, looked like there was some premium prices at yesterday's auction. Wonder how many are left? Cheers, Rob
-
I don't know if there is now an easy way of recording results, but the RFSVs appeared to sell @ $33,500 for the early one and @ $36,500 for the low kilo one. Each price is plus buyers' fees - now somewhat reduced as I think GST is maybe included in the sale price?
-
Does anyone know what price the 6-wheelers fetched? Thanks, Paul
-
Rob and others!
Some results -
ARN 50-505 Cargo 3 seats $26,100 plus fees
ARN 200249 5 seat variant $44,750 plus fees
ARN 200281 Infantry carries $43,750 plus fee
That's all I have for a start -
STDDIVER

Certainly premium prices. Wonder if any are bound for overseas locations.

The ones not being butchered don’t have the blue slide ‘supplied with roadworthy’, such as the last one above. It has recondition engine as well... could be the pick of the bunch :)
-
how much did the Leyland Contractor make ?
-
This month's auctions, and they are spread all over, definitely indicate the last few Perenties are coming through (after 5 or 6 years of monthly auctions). I see one FFR, one GS, and one 6x6 GMV. I see one or two Number 5s. Even Haulmark PT1 and PT2 trailers are rare. Mogs and Macks are probably half way done.
-
And did you see the prices at the last auctions! :-\
I saw an FFR go for $23K+ (it did have some equipment in the back that I had not seen before).
But due to the Corona Virus - you could not inspect the vehicles.. I thought that this might put people off, but no...
-
Our Depot has 1 GS Perentie in the pool. - Not sure when it is coming up for disposal?
STDDIVER
-
just be careful most vehicles have been rebuilt and the equipment is obsolete
-
Has anybody got a list of the land rovers in the auction that finished yesterday, I missed writing up my list. don't you hate it when work gets in the way !
-
Can anybody tell me how to find out how much the vehicles have made after the pickles sale ends ?
The ones I put in my watched items are never visible.
Please help.
Regards
Young Eric.
-
No idea, Eric.
I sat on these three until there was less than a minute to go.
-
Not that I bid on these and lost but ...
202-114 went for $44,750;
202-130 went for $45,250;
200-138 went for $15,300;
38-219 Unimog went for $22,900
all plus the charges and add ons ... ...
That's all I got - Cheers STDDIVER
-
last few minutes - I think that 33K plus plus is a new record for a GS!
-
Hi Carzee,
I noticed that of the 5 GS that sold today, all but one had their pioneer tools and tool holders removed.
Also, the black out lights had been removed from all and the helicopter lift points on the front and back on each had been removed/modified.
While $33,500 was the highest price, $24,000 was attained for the GS missing the canopy. On top of these figures, I think a 7.7% fee is added.
The prices are certainly heading north!
Regards
Acorn
-
Anyone see what this last batch of landrover FFR's and GS's went for on Wednesday. I didn't get to see the end of the auction.
-
Yes I did.
GS; $25,600, $28,700, $41,250,
FFR; $27,100, $27,800,
6x6 Gen maint; $29,100, $37,000,
plus costs
-
Looking at the present prices - having bought my vehicles some years ago, I've now realised that my biggest fear is that if I die, my wife will sell my vehicles for what I told her I paid for them! ???
-
In the course of pursuing one of my other hobbies I drove past the Army Reserve depot at Sutherland today and there were no Land Rovers visible just two G wagons. Would I be correct in assuming that as the reserve are now getting Mercedes then there are not many Perenties left in service?
Geoff O.
-
That is my view too Geoff, based on what I can piece together and also by doing the maths on numbers delivered and disposed of over the last seven years or there abouts. I’d say the same applies to Mogs and Macks too, doing the same maths and this must be another reason for the higher prices being bid. Please, if you consider I am wrong, then outline your alternate hypothesis.
-
The depot at Sutherland actually is looking a bit unloved but that may be because there now appears to be only one unit there. I think that it is support company 4/17 RNSWR but don't quote me I am no expert on the reserve. There was an artillery unit there for some years but no more. Would I be correct in assuming that there is little or no reserve artillery now with the demise of the 105s? it was also used by cadets but I haven't seen that for a while. Most of their vehicles are probably under cover in the buildings which were provided for the gunners.
With increased security measures in recent years it is now more difficult to see what they are up to from outside the fence. I think that I can understand that.
Geoff O.
-
Where GRes artillery units still exist, they are just 81mm mortar ‘batteries’.
btw… there is a 2/17 RNSWR and 4/3 RNSWR, but not a 4/17 😊
Cheers.

I stand corrected. Having never been in the reserve I know nothing about it other than observations going past. I am always otherwise occupied so I must stop there one day and read the sign. Units seem to come and go over the years. There is an Infantry unit, Army cadets and Air Force cadets use the site.
Geoff O.

in feb 2021 i was working at enog barracks and they still had macks and several unimogs unit unknown
some of the g wagons are coming up for midlife rebuilt
-
Yeah, I saw that news. Initially, they might be expensive, but down the road, we could find some good deals on those military vehicles.
