2008 Swiss army sale

[GenevaPinz]

Hi all,

Out of curiosity, I went through the pictures of the vehicles that the Swiss army is going to sell on April 23 at the yearly sale in Thun: http://www.armeefahrzeugversteigerung.c ... uge_01.htm

...and I couldn't help but notice these two odd ones:
- a flat-bed 710M ( http://www.armeefahrzeugversteigerung.c ... ge/191.jpg )
- a Unimog with an exhaust above the cabin ( http://www.armeefahrzeugversteigerung.c ... ge/550.jpg )
...no idea what these two trucks were used for.

I don't know how many of each vehicle type they will be sold as I did not want to cough up 10.- swissie to download the catalog, but I assume there are a few Steyr-Puch-tagged G-Wagens (no. 61 on the picture website) and a bunch of Duros (no 562), at least two Haflingers (nos. 114 & 229), a Pinz' spare ambulance box (no. 461) along two completely unexpected good ol' WWII-era Dodge WC trucks (one of which seems like it was used as an aircraft refuelling truck, nos. 100 & 235)!

I think that Mog is one of the refueling ones. There is a gas powered fuel pump in the back and that exhaust for the pump.

Those Dodge WC's are sweet. Nice shape too.

I wonder if the Duro or the 6 X 6's could be imported? The Duro is super cool.
