I've always wanted to get one and have been looking at various ex MOD and private one's. Plus lightweight versions but these are generally petrol and i wanted a diesel. Anything i should look out for when getting one of these? Typical wear & tear etc?

Any help appreciated.

It is a desert coloured one though. So a bit different.
Been looking at the EMLRA forum. Might need help with the stickers.
It has the original gun rack in it too.
Would be nice to fit some mock guns inside if allowed.
It also has the infrared set up on it. For running undetected in the dark.
