The Telegraph has a rather amusing article about how much various bits of military hardware that the British military are looking to sell are worth. Need a Scimitar light tank? 39,995 pounds sterling please. For 55,000 pounds you can get a Samaritan battlefield ambulance. Only 50 were produced so it’s sure to be a collectors item! This sale of military equipment is reported to be part of the British Ministry of Defense plans to cut costs and get rid of unnecessary equipment and assets.

Interesting. I’ve never even heard of some of these. What era are they from?

Scimitar and Samaritan are both part of the family of light tracked vehicles based on the FV101 Scorpion light tank. Scorpion entered service in 1973.
