taking a ex-military landy on holiday

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.

griffdowg you are a star, thank you very much!!!

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

good call booger, im going to paint it white, it really needs a repaint anyway

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..

Excellent....that did make I larf

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?

done the form thing, what a joke! i will paint it white or sand as it does need a paint job, the old yard brush paint job is a lot flakey, dont think i want to go for black paint booger!!

You could try pink?

pink is good! to be honest it will be better than what ive got

I like the mud-effect paint behind the wheels, where did you get it from?

you can get it from any motor factors its next to the tartan paint
