The Appeal
The Land Rover Lightweight was devised as a replacement for the Austin Champ, an air-portable Jeep-style vehicle carried by British Wessex helicopters. Based on the regular Series IIA Land Rover, but fitted with simpler bodywork that could be easily disassembled in the field, the Lightweight entered service in 1968, serving with various militaries until 1984.
This 1978 example is a Series III 2.25-litre diesel Lightweight, delivered new to the Dutch Military. As the photographs show, it's an incredibly original example, in good condition for a military vehicle of this age.
With a Dutch registration and valid APK, it is ready for immediate use or export. The seller's offer to assist with worldwide transport and shipping makes it accessible to buyers across the globe. Land Rover 88 (13).jpg1.79 MB
