        John Craddock of John Craddock ltd and Julian Gosling of Exmoor Trim acquired the Classic Land Rover Collection previously owned by Ketil in Norway (Ketil was a Land Rover guru in Norway).

        From what I gather Ketil had a personal tragedy in his life which caused his funds to dwindle. Now he owes money on the current warehouse and the local government has stepped in and seized the collection to sell it and pay the owner of the warehouse .

        This collection contained loads of rare Land Rovers. The collection was doomed to the scrap heap by local Norwegian police and you can view the collection here: http://tinyurl.com/2dhnewu

        Vehicles are being sold until the end of 5th December and any unsold vehicles will be brought back to the UK. You can contact kate@johncraddockltd.co.uk for details.

                  Call a place that does metal spinning and they might be able to do it.

                  May not be cheap of course. . .

                    My God, I feel like I have to go to confession now...

                    It's nice to see that some of them got moved inside since the little b*stard-vandals seemed to be able to break every, single window, in every, single vehicle that was parked outside, except for the bullet-proof glass in photo 203.

                    Some very cool stuff there. I agree with others who are somewhat relieved that these are so far away.
