FAQ

Frequently asked questions about used military vehicles

Everything you need to know before buying or exporting an ex-army vehicle. Missing an answer? Contact us — we reply within 24 working hours.

Who can buy a used military vehicle from Lys Tout Terrain?

Our vehicles are sold to professionals (agro-industry, construction, mining, public services, rental fleets), to private collectors and enthusiasts, and to international organisations. We deliver across France and Europe, and export to Africa — mainly to Ivory Coast, Senegal, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Nigeria and Togo.

Are ex-army trucks reliable and serviced before the sale?

Yes. Every vehicle goes through our workshops for a full mechanical overhaul: engine, transmission, brakes, clutch, electrics. We also offer operational refurbishment (REO) and long-term fleet maintenance (MCO). Ex-NATO vehicles are known for their simplicity, robustness (no complex electronics) and low mileage.

Do I need a special licence to drive a used military truck in France?

The licence depends on the vehicle's Gross Weight: licence B up to 3.5 t, licence C (HGV) above, and CE licence for articulated sets. Light vehicles such as P4, Jeep or HMMWV can be driven with a standard B licence if they meet the GVW. We advise you case by case based on use and driver profile.

Are the vehicles demilitarised and sold with proper paperwork?

All vehicles decommissioned from the military are demilitarised in accordance with French regulations before being put on sale: removal of military-specific equipment, repainting if needed. We provide the French registration (carte grise) or the export conformity certificate, together with the required administrative documents (decommissioning record, non-pledge certificate).

How does exporting a military vehicle to Africa work?

We offer a turnkey logistics service: vehicle selection, country-specific refurbishment, export licences, customs clearance, road transport to the port (Antwerp, Le Havre, Marseille) and container or RoRo loading. We have been working with our shipping partners for over 20 years. The customer receives a complete export file with all customs documents required by the destination country.

What are the delivery times in France and to export markets?

In mainland France, delivery takes 5 to 15 working days depending on the carrier and any custom refurbishment. For Africa export, plan 4 to 8 weeks on average between order and arrival at the destination port, depending on the country, maritime rotations and customs formalities.

Can you deliver on site or do I have to come to Thérouanne?

Both. You may visit and test-drive vehicles at our yard in Thérouanne (62129, Pas-de-Calais), by appointment. We also arrange home or site delivery across France and Europe, as well as FOB or CIF at major European ports for export.

Do you also supply spare parts and rent out military vehicles?

Yes. We hold a large stock of original spare parts for the main ex-army models (Renault TRM, Peugeot P4, Berliet GBC, MAN KAT, Mercedes Unimog…). We also rent military vehicles for film shoots, events, historical reenactments and technical assignments.
