They used be sold by companies like Marcus Glenn in Lincolnshire.
Unfortunately the M.O.D. are not releasing any more XDs due to the current Gulf campaign, there is a shortage of spares, so the M.O.D. keep them to scavenge any parts they can.
I was quite lucky, I got mine in about April this year, but even in the state it was, it certainly didn't come cheap at all.

Rest assured, I will submit pictures as I take them. I should be taking
"Lazarus" for its first test drive in the week ahead and the camera will be with me.
No, I havent done Cairo to Cape before. It's something I always knew I would do one fine day, now that I am in the process of building a vehicle capable of undertaking a venture of this nature, the dream becomes a reality.
My target date is circa ealry 2009, when my son is old enough to do this with me.
