Wage Your War With A Saxon 105
Read the full story on Backfire News
Owning a military vehicle like this 1986 Saxon 105 could be a lot of fun, if you can figure out what to do with it. This debatably classic might be road legal where you live, but it can only reach a top speed of 55 mph, so going on the highway wouldn't be all that know for some, the allure of owning a military vehicle overrides any inconvenience, because playing with big trucks that have been used in warfare or at least were designed to fight is just too cool.
The Saxon was used by the UK military as an armored personnel carrier. A few other groups used them, but it's most likely this one carried Brits in operations, or at least training exercises.
Motivating this truck is a Bedford 6-cylinder diesel engine. If that doesn't mean anything to you, this might not be the vehicle for you, because this is a far cry from a Toyota Corolla.
Also, the asking price is $82,000 so you really need to want one of these things to even seriously consider it. Plus, the owner says you have to put down a $500 deposit and be supervised to take it for a spin, so he's filtering for genuine buyers only.
If that doesn't scare you off, this Saxon 105 is pretty cool and we don't see too many up for sale these days. The seller says the tires are new, so that's a plus. There are two telescoping cameras that are joystick controlled, two monitors, night vision, and upgraded LED lights in the cabin.
Just keep in mind the interior is a little rough, but that's to be expected with a decommissioned military vehicle. Maybe you're the one to make this a bougie Saxon 105?
