matchlesswdg3 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 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!

fv1609 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 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.

LARD Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Saw this in the carpark at Duxford on Sunday. Looks absolutely gorgeous. OK the tyres are incorrect - I assume the owner wanted something less noisy than the traditional Goodyears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John F Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I still regret selling my FFR Lightweight for just £1250, although that was admittedly 20 years ago 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
