You cannot expect the dealers to treat the surplus better than the French
Army did, before they became surplus.
I remember that in tha barracks in Quimper, in the sixties, long lines of
Jeeps, WC Dodges and GMC lorries were parked in the open, in readiness for
the mobilisation if the Red Army should decide to come and take the waters
on the Atlantic coast.
They were jacked-up on axle stands, the wheels were turned round a
quarter-turn every month, and after every rain (frequent in Britanny), some
poor sods of the "centre mobilisateur" would go round them, and climb in
the rear of each to push up the canvas and empty the water that had pooled
in it.
So its no wonder the way the surplus dealer to treats them ;-(
