1993 Land Rover TUM HS RWMIK

Description

Direct from HM Ministry of Defence; original date in service  in February 1993

Please note that VAT will be added to the final hammer price on this lot.

Land Rovers have been in service with the UK military for a considerable time and in the 1990s, Ricardo Vehicle Engineering produced the WMIK (Weapons Mount Installation Kit) on a 110 chassis.

These protected patrol vehicles came in a few different formats, some of which carried more armoured and equipment than others. This example features a strengthened chassis, a roll bar cage and various weapons mounts and is in fact the R+ (Revised) model which has a few improvements such as some light armour built into the chassis (now removed) and originally would have had full BOWMAN radio fittings.

Designed for reconnaissance and close fire support these vehicles carried up to four personnel and would have been equipped with a general purpose machine gun, a heavy machine gun and some form of grenade launcher.

Completely disarmed of course, it is being offered direct from HM Ministry of Defence. It shows an unwarranted 4,016km and the overall condition reflects that. It should be noted that the engine appears to be either a refurbished or replaced unit.

Running and driving, it comes with three-point harness belts, standard sand ladders and sits on runflat Discoverer tyres.

The Land Rover is supplied with a Date In Service Certificate that confirms its initial mobilisation as 23^rd February 1993 which will be needed when registering it with the DVLA.

The MoD provides the potential buyer with the two documents attached on this Lot description – “RWMIK Customer ECL.PDF” and “20200706-ASSC-DSC-ADHOC 196-RWMIK+ OUTPUT (004).PDF”.  These documents contain information and data related to this vehicle, which is classed by the MoD as an Asset Subject to Special Controls (ASSC), so potential buyers must make themselves aware of the contents of these documents before bidding.
