I had a conversation with somebody that is a regular buyer in Edmonton and was told the Brits have been approached by Ottawa and asked to cut up their ex-BATUS vehicles rather than sell them.

What next?? A long wheel base registry!

This topic seems to get thrashed around to no ones satisfaction. Bob raises a valid point of poor asset value recovery, I wonder if the Auditor Generals office might be interested in this sort of thing.

Default Gordon....

... if you contact the Auditor General talk to him in English he is not bilingual.

Now we know how LEVY army surplus in Toronto made its fortune back in the early fifties..... have a deep pocket.... buy in bulk.... sell individually for a good mark up...... after all all that LEVY resold was subject to provincial and federal sales tax.......

6-53T is not a MLVW engine. The MLVW used a 8.2l fuel pincher detroit. Those engines would appear to be for the AVGPs.

6V53T definately for AVGPs and, I believe, M113.

Not MLVW.
