The divestment project started almost 2 years ago. Almost 25% of the regular force green fleet was pulled from service and parked, as a cost saving measure. This included about 50% of the LSVWs, and many mlvs and HLVWs. I believe some were re-distrinuted from rust free zones to replace Eastern unit vehicles which were suffering badly. So it now looks like the military is starting to reduce the legacy vehicles, even before replacements are purchased.

One of the lessons learned from Afghanistan was that if a vehicle was not armoured, or at least capable of being armoured, it had very little role in operations. Most of the soft-skin role could be handled by rentals in theater.

A similar threat level was experienced in the Normandy beachhead until the breakout at Caen. The war diaries of the 27th Canadian Armoured Regt mention restrictions on all travel except by tank, half-track or scout car. No Jeeps or motor cycles.

Default LSVW Kijiji

One of these LSVWs has resurfaced on Kjiji. It appears to have been given a bit of a freshing up and a new price tag of $13,000!

Another for $10,000, this one was sold out of Shilo, I am sure Rob will recognize the wind sock in the back round.

Just a little mark-up on those.

There are two more on CADC at present. Not sure how many more will be coming out of Shilo. Many of Shilo`s are heading to the federal pen for dismantling and recovery of certain parts to return to the DND system. There was a tender the other week for 480 tires to be surplus in the next year as a result of that operation, so approx 100 LSVWs expected to be run through the CORCAN divestment program in Manitoba.

Neil: The second one you show only went for $1500.99. https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?...L&sf=ferm-clos

I put a bid on it for parts only but was too cheap to be successful. I was under the notion that there were going to be thousands of these released. At the same time, I had no desire to own one for driving around.

Default Lsvw

Just a quick note 2 LSVWs were sold in Kingston in December. Both vehicles are runners and both have been registered for the road. Also Crown Assets is giving letters so that they can be registered.
There will be 20-30 up for sale in January 2016.

They may be runners but they aren't stoppers...lol!

Ours seemed to have recently redone bodies, unlike the rest that are coming up. I'll probably pick up another one for spare parts.
