Description
Direct from HM Ministry of Defence; original date in
service in February 1993
Please
note that VAT will be added to the final hammer price on this
lot.
Land Rovers have been in service
with the UK military for a considerable time and in the 1990s, Ricardo Vehicle
Engineering produced the WMIK (Weapons Mount Installation Kit) on a 110
chassis.
These protected patrol vehicles came
in a few different formats, some of which carried more armoured and
equipment than others. This example features a strengthened chassis, a roll bar
cage and various weapons mounts and is in fact the R+ (Revised) model which has
a few improvements such as some light armour built into the chassis (now
removed) and originally would have had full BOWMAN radio
fittings.
Designed for reconnaissance and close
fire support these vehicles carried up to four personnel and would have been
equipped with a general purpose machine gun, a heavy machine gun and some form
of grenade launcher.
Completely disarmed of
course, it is being offered direct from HM Ministry of Defence. It shows an
unwarranted 4,016km and the overall condition reflects that. It should be noted
that the engine appears to be either a refurbished or replaced
unit.
Running and driving, it comes with
three-point harness belts, standard sand ladders and sits on runflat Discoverer
tyres.
The Land Rover is supplied with a Date
In Service Certificate that confirms its initial mobilisation as 23rd
February 1993 which will be needed when registering it with the
DVLA.
