Discussions on why civilians aren't allowed to use the 'Olive Green' reserved only for Army personnel in India are wide and elaborate. This just shows how badly people want some Indian Army brushed off on them. When shown an opportunity to buy a vehicle once used by the Army, they would jump right ahead. So, what kind of Indian Army vehicles can you actually buy? Here's four of them. (Photo: Dailyhunt (above)/ Bikes4sale)

Vehicles used by the Indian Army are routinely auctioned when being replaced with a crop of new ones. The Army now uses Tata Safari Stormes and previously-used Maruti Gypsys were auctioned out for as little as Rs 1 lakh. Perhaps one of the most iconic cars Indians have ever associated with, the Gypsy has now been discontinued. Appreciated for its off-road capabilities, the Gypsy attained a cult status in its about 30-year life and is closely associated with the armed forces. (Photo: Dailyhunt)

Pardon the person behind the camera for this photo, but the Willy's Jeep is by far one the most iconic military vehicle of all times across the world. When it came to India, it underwent several changes but nevertheless adored by collectors. Apparently, you can find good catches like these on portals like OLX even today. (Photo: Trovit)

And now, the most popular one that is sought out the most. The very first lot of Royal Enfields that ever arrived in India decades ago was brought here for use by the Army. The Indian Army still uses RE motorcycles and ever so often old ones are replaced with new units making way for interesting auctions. If you can get your hands on a 1985 model, you're in luck.

Now, we didn't find auction tenders for used Polaris ATVs but if you must buy a serious off-roader for trails and countryside, Polaris has exactly what you need. Afterall, the Army needs access to difficult-to-reach regions, wherein ATVs like Polaris RZR come in handy. ATVs, however, are not road legal. (Pictured here is a version of Polaris RZR series)
