The end of BATUS rovers???

#1 Post by Dave_F » Fri Feb 06, 2009 11:52 am

Came across this listing today at the Auctioneers who sell off the Batus Land Rovers

Go to Page #6

No Land rovers...Just Chevy's and Bedfords. I've seen these Chevy 2500's before at BATUS doing what the Land Rovers used to do, so perhaps they've decided to go domestic. :(

They have Wolfs now, AFAIK and are probably running out of the older style units. We won't see the Wolfs at auction for quite a few years.

They do use Chevy trucks, but they don't take abuse very well.

I believe that all of the range safety vehicles will be domestic, the ones with the orange tops. the training vehicles will be the same of the vehicles used in operations.
