  You can get all kinds of surplus UK kit - here is just the thing for getting a space in the school car park in the morning: http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicle/related/45842/Saxon.htm http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicle/related/45842/Saxon.... Edit: One of these "Combat Engineer Tractors" would be ideal for tasks around the garden: http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicle/,37,/35549/CET.htm http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicle/,37,/35549/CET.htm Edit 2: Why is the MOD selling Corvettes??? http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicles/,109,/American_Cars.htm http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicles/,109,/American_Cars...

    I think Corvettes were used for some sort of on-runway operations involving planes and whatnot - maybe as a chase vehicle for some planes with landing-gear issues, or something like that.. I can't remember the details, but I do remember that there are Corvettes at some American bases for things like this.

      Good point - I believe U2 pilots need to be talked down the last few feet by someone in a chase car: http://jalopnik.com/5537629/the-140-mph-chase-cars-of-the-us-air-force http://jalopnik.com/5537629/the-140-mph-chase-cars-of-the-us... Maybe U2s were operating from RAF bases and they thought it was polite to use US cars?

        The US RAF bases where little piece of America in the UK vehicles drove on the right.
