i need help!!!

i want to go to morocco next year but some people say i cant take a demobbed landy, or i need a export licence, or paint it white, or its fine as it is dont worry? anybody here with any experience with this?
 
Not to my knowledge. So long as it hasn't a 50 cal mounted on top and is now registered with civillian plates and has log book no problems.

Plenty people paint civilian Landy's in mod colours.

I did here something about this on EMLRA. Its not the fact your going to Morocco, its leaving the UK. I think it was a proposal but im not sure if it went ahead or not. Cant remember the details now either.

Worth getting on the EMLRA forum and searching/asking. Those guys are super helpfull and prett quick at answering.

hope this helps.

Mine is an ex mod, and it went to Morocco with no problems/export permits etc. I did however paint it black, because I didn't like the idea of travelling in a vehicle that could be mistaken for a mil vehicle. It probably would have been fine, but there are military checkpoints in the desert, and if the guards are a bit stoned and see what they may think is an Algerian army vehicle approaching, you could get some extra ventillation holes in your landy :D
 
Yep white is definately the most sensible colour for an expedition Land Rover... Everybody said I should do mine white, which is exactly why I did it black.. :D
 
I have a 1990 ex military 110 200tdi painted in the standard Military green. The guy who I bought it from used to go to Morocco in it every winter for about 7 years on the trot with out any problems. That would be about six years ago when he last went. Don't know if it has changed since then?
