Autotrader award winners for Customer experience 2025 please see over 655 star reviews for our customers Drives as well as it looks supplied fully serviced with an MOT until June 2027 Supplied with 6 months driveline warranty any independent inspection welcome A nice original lightweight remaining on its original 12-volt system; showing only 86,175 miles Developed for the British military as an air-portable version of the Series IIA and later the Series III, the Lightweight (or Airportable) was designed to be robust, simple and easily stripped for transport by helicopter or aircraft. Despite the name, it wasn't dramatically lighter than the civilian model, but its narrower track, removable panels and rugged construction made it a favorite with the armed forces. Today, surviving examples with traceable service histories are increasingly sought after, especially those retaining their original character and military fittings. This 1979 example ticks all the right boxes. Remaining on its original 12-volt system, it still carries its original engine, showing only 86,175 miles and now breathing through a new carburettor. It has benefited from a new rear quarter chassis around four years ago – a sensible and expensive piece of preventative maintenance on any Series Land Rover. The interior presents in honest condition, complete with the original rear floor strips and the correct split tailgate. Aluminium door tops with sliding windows are another pleasing detail, as is the working military front hitch and comes with its original wheels and tyres, adding to the authenticity. A new rear exhaust section has been fitted, with the remainder of a new system included for the next owner to install at their leisure. The offside fuel tank remains in place, while the nearside has been sensibly converted into a useful storage compartment. New khaki canvas hood will be fitted before sale Accompanying paperwork includes 10 old MOT certificates and the current V5C, along with its military service details: in service from 1979 until 29/10/1997, with an RIU date of 09 January 1984, and recorded use with 40 Signal Regiment – a nice piece of provenance for enthusiasts of military Land Rovers.
