I'd seen that the other day, very odd. Wouldn't of thought it would be an obvious choice as a securecor vehicle.

No a lot of work has gone into it, where would you start? Put it back to original or keep it as a securicor vehicle?

I saw that the other day, and I too thought that's an interesting vehicle.

I also thought what would you do? Refurbish it as it is, an ex Securicor vehicle, or return it to military originality?

It would probably cost more to return it to original than to rebuild it in it's current guise.

Yeah I think a lot of work has gone into making it what it is, think it would be impractical to get it back to what it was
Might do a bit of digging see if I can find anything else about it.

I'd be interested to hear of anything you did find out about it.

I can't take credit for finding this similar type of vehicle, it was pointed out to me by a good friend, so I thought I would post up a link to it.

It's re-appeared for sale on the bay. The sale price has increased slightly. But then, the foliage growing all over has been removed, and the inside has been tidied out. Not sure that that equates to a £2.5k price rise, but maybe he charges one hell of an hourly rate for his labour.

It appears that the seller has ended the sale of the vehicle this morning.
