Richard Farrant Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 And a lightweight is replacing it, I really couldn't go over to the dark side (Yank) One has to have some standards in life.. Question is what colour to do this one ?? Mr Hardyferret, You could always go over the top and paint your Lightweight like the one in this photo. It was one of five, that I built for the Honourable Artillery Company in 1988, for Royal Salute duties at the Tower of London. Gloss Deep Bronze Green, black chassis, white upholstery, chrome bumpers, etc. Richard [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 If I painted my Lightweight like that I'd have to wash it more than once a year....! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Gloss white with blue UN badges. I am thinking UNFICYP 1976-77 but it was probably a lot more common than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi Ferret, If you are looking for the early type wings (headlights in grille) it could be a hens teeth job, I know of a couple that have been scrapped and will make some enquiries to see if the wings are any good and whether available. It may be worth your while to put a wanted ad in one of the LR mags (not LR owner) try LR Monthly or LR Enthusiast, I think these are free.
