Well as the army ones are supplied direct from the factory and are modified with stronger chassis etc. and come off a seperate production line I would say that unless LR are having problems with supplying the MOD. Then the dealer is probably full of ****. your friend could try contacting another LR dealer and seeing if they can help.

I heard a tail that they are so short of Landrovers because of Iraq and Afganistan that they where even trying to buy back old 90s and 110s from the likes of Blanchards ! I guess with everything thats going on just now their resources must be stretched to the limit and with 2 wars their budget will be used up for years to come ! so just maybe there is a hint of truth in all the rumours !!!!
Worse .... CONSCRIPTION !
They are about to announce that all privately owned ex MoD LandRovers are to be conscripted back into army service, no compensation until next year.

Conscription of ex mil vehicles? Now that is all pure bollocks.
I hear they are pushing the TDCI defenders to international military markets hard, I know the US are interrested because theyre cheaper than hummers and can go in the back of a chinnie. Santanas are leaf at the back so only appeal to the short of pocket military wise.

You wait till they come a-knocking ... DVLA has told them where all the ex-MoD Landies are.

I wish I knew how you got that picture in there.
Incidentally, the Royal Army Veterinary Corps have been put on stand-by to take over horses if they can't get enough Landies back. The double benefit is you can use horses till they drop, and then eat them. Saves carrying half a ton of ten-man ration packs.
