Nah looked into it, they have the basic requirements for driving civvies street and any with modifications will be returned to original state before sale.

they arent a bad vehicle, but you have 2 choices, a regularly used and thrashed, or one thats been sitting in the transport yard for 20 odd years.

stick with the private classifieds in the newspaper

Fairly sure all ADF vehicles.....up to and including tanks... ...have to meet ADR's....

Bit of a joke having to make your Tank or APC ADR compliant....no idea how they'd pass the pedestrian impact test... :sarcastic:

As of last Friday it is more like a couple of hundred and that's just at JLU Nth Bandiana. I am there regularly for work and they have these things piling up now.

Its probably just the basic stuff, like braking, steering, lights etc. I'd love to see an M1 Abrams try and meet Euro IV :
