Hi All,
sorry to be a pain but some advice needed please.
Been offered an original lightweight. Ex RAF 46000 documented miles etc. It has the lights in the front grill and not on the wings. Which series is this plz? It looks to be from a genuine seller. Downside is £4750 asking price. Its way above what i wanted to pay but am thinking it will not depreciate if looked after?
Help plz guys!!

Thanks again
Phil

With the headlights on the grill, that means it was one of the early IIAs (I think, don't quote me on it)


Sorry, can't help with anything else, I'm a newbie myself!

When I think of what that money could buy at today's prices, I think you would be mad!

That is, of course, my opinion - It's just not the sort of LR that appeals to me.

It does look tidy in the pics, so if you do go for it I hope you enjoy it

EDIT - I'm looking at pics of a different truck LOL. Price on that one does mix things up a bit...

if you put landrover lightweight into your search bar, scoll down the page and go into www.allisons.org/11/4/landroverlightweight/military it will give you some history on the light weights

Series IIA Lightweights are not that common, Series IIA Lightweights that have not been modified to look like Series IIIs even more so, so perhaps it has "Classic" value. If not £4750 sound extortionate for a 40 year old Land Rover
