UK Land Rover enthusiasts John Craddock (of John Craddock Ltd) and Julian Gostling (of Exmoor Trim) have saved the collection of almost 100 Land Rovers and other collectable vehicles.

The two Land Rover specialists have jointly bought the collection, which includes various Series Ones, a One-Ton 109in and a huge variety of rare models including fire engines, ambulances and a Cuthbertson tracked vehicle in excellent condition. They were all stored in property at Sandnes near Stavanger in the south-west of the country and were due to be auctioned on December 4. Any which remained unsold at that auction would have been scrapped.

Some of the vehicles, which were being disposed of by the local police, are being transported back to the UK and many will come up for sale to enthusiasts next Summer. However, because of the immense task – and cost – of shipping every vehicle, some will be disposed of shortly in Norway. You can view this collection on-line and deal on the vehicle you require from Wednesday 1st December to Sunday 5th December 2010. This will be on a first-come first-served basis. Prices from £200 upwards.

Pictures of the collection can be seen here

If you are interested in purchasing an item or for further information on arranging viewing please e-mail kate@johncraddockltd.co.uk or call 01543 460169.

I could do with one or 2 for our world trip, shame it'll never happen though.

Wonder what the history of them all are, how come they ended up together?
 
Fookin ell looks like me back garden!

Wouldn't mind an old forward control 2b or maybe the ambulance 109. Fact is you could probably build yourself a new whatever for circa 5K knowing its all as new/rebuilt. Getting a suitable ID would be harder tho!
 
wonder how much i want this one :)
