Lightweight, apart from the price!

Noticed with interest a Land Rover Lightweight just come up on Milweb for £25k!  Admittedly, for what you get, its a much better buy than one of these J++p thingies at a similar daft price.  It looks a decent enough late Series III truck from the few photos posted and declared rare because its an FFR and has some winterising equipment still extant.  Well the FFR thing appeals to some folk and puts others off due to problems and potential expense, so that hardly justifies hiking the price, which means there is at least a £13k premium assumed for the winterised bits.  But hey, if you don't ask, you don't get.........but I have found that the Landie mob are a stingy lot, so good luck to getting that offloaded!

Yes it is expensive. If it is original it would be nice to see some confirmation of this with a view of the engine bay. But we have duplicate views of the left side & duplicate views of the right. A view of some of the arctic heaters would be another view worth promoting.

I think you will find that we are realistic.
