They seem to be busy hauling military vehicles, but can’t find any info on them. Anybody know anything please?
Also/formerly known as Witham Specialist Vehicles, based on Honeypot Lane which is just off the A1 just south of Colsterworth.
I think they currently have the contract for disposal of most/all army vehicles.

Get the immlc quoted above probably 1 of the best vehicles army has/had don’t get bogged down in them badboys lol
The Foden wrecker is definitely a hell of a lump and lot of kit for the money but of little commercial practical use, plaything really.
I never think any of the stuff they have on there looks like great value for money. I think the perceived maintenance people think the kit’s received and the low hours/mileage results in a price premium that’s probably not justified.

Yep too true , Alot of people think ohhh it’s ex army it will of been looked after, but when you got the daft squaddies with the its not mine/army can afford it attitude. They will of been serviced every couple of weeks like but the times they will of been used they will of tool a bit of a beating
