Such a shame we couldn't import one of the 2013 'new' 110's that are LHD :'(
Why oh why do you tempt us so much >:( :'( :'(
If I won 6/49, I'd consider one of the 8x8's, just because I could. ;D
I'd buy one of those Chieftain engines and put it in my Mighty Range Rover.
Purple Haze!

And since it has the avro green paint you know it's a quality rebuild too..... ::) LOL
looks like they have sankeys 550 quid, may have to get my brother to make a run down their.
L. Jackson at the rocket site had been selling gear for decades. I've heard of some fellows from Canada buying complete landrovers there, without complaint. You likely do get what you pay for, and should be buying higher graded equipment due to the distances involved.
Witham is of course another supplier. Without looking at a map, I don't know which is nearest to the seacan.

And it looks like a seacan may be in the works too.

Well there you go "Easy Peasy". Get your brother to buy 2. Fill one with LR parts, a 200 TDI or even 3 or 4 would go nicely, remove the wheels from second trailer before upending on the loaded trailer. Once it is all in Canada, sell 1 trailer and an engine or 2 and you should come out ahead. ;)
This is good in theory until Matt takes up too much trailer space with a Chieftain engine. :(
Even better than a Land Rover.

Sacrilege. ;)
Yeah, Let me know how the part supply/prices work out for those ::)
You just go to the Mercedes dealer and give them direct debit authorization. ;D
I have a friend in the CDN Army that hates those things. Heavy, No power, unnecessary complicated (German, go figure) and not particularly impressive off road.
He wants the Iltis back! He say's those things were light, simple, reliable and would go anywhere you pointed them.

If there is space in the seacan for another, I'd be happy to have one please?
;)
Keep your eyes on the forum for info on the seacan. Can't provide any details right now but I'm waiting for info. But it's up to you to get the sankey and have it delivered to the consolidator when the word goes out ;-)
Check out these "military" vehicles......what acronym best describes their users do you think????
