Also a combat engineering tractor with just 7 miles on the clock!

A 7 mile CET, that is believable, thye broke down that often.
Our plant troop on Op Granby had a CET, it ran the whole time we were in the sandpit, but it drank over 25L of oil a day. But it survived and it was fixed when we arrived back in BAOR.

As Mash said, driving vehicles in BAOR, Canada, Saudi, they all worked as expected and did it well. I can remember driving fast through the desert in a CVR(T), and jumping the natural sand berms. The wind whipped the sand up and you werre left with small berms about a foor or so high. Hit them fast enough in a tracked vehicle you can get them airborne. Driver was OK but commander usually ended up with a bruised rib or 2  110 D250 SE HT

If these are direct I wonder where they were hiding and how come they are only just leaving now, now I can be honest and say speedos are replaced so mileage can be false sometimes but these could be genuine looking at the rest of the vehicle.

These won't be direct ex-MoD since the MoD disposals are now handled by Brightwells, Witham lost the contract as I recall.

I think I'd rather have this currently listed in the current Brightwells auction, think of the overland camper you could build on that! Sadly though I think it would be daft purchase since it is overwidth and can't be driven on the road excpet under Special Types regs or Crown Exemption (although I did hear that if you fit skinnier tyres and adjust the mudguards you can just get them under the limit). Imposing vehicle all the same.
