[OT] Looking for armour

A mate of mine is looking for military vehicles, preferably armour, to buy or rent for an airsoft game (the world's largest ever so far, with about 1200 participants) next summer. Budget is about £5000-10000 per vehicle, on the whole, but it all depends on the vehicle. The cheaper the better, as long as they work.



Does anyone have any ideas on where to look?



Cheers!


Yer average tracked APC costs about £7,000, if tracked vehicles are OK. Many military surplus stores that also deal in vehicles can sell things like Ferrets (which are wheeled vehicles) within that price range. Proper military hardware is quite cheap, probably much cheaper than an armoured civilian truck.

Don't follow any of those links I posted then, on one page that I reached from one of the posted links there was an ex-REME stalwart with swim kit and hi-ab hydraulic arm fitted! What a lovely thing to have ;-)
