Land Rover Lightweight Airportable, SORRY NOW SOLD TO MALTA

    • A very nice Airportable Lightweight Land rover Series 2a

Here for sale is a very nice series 2A Lightweight on behalf of a customer in this the 50th anniversary of the Lightweight

The airportable land rover or "lightweight" as it became known was designed for transporting by helicopters and could also be carried two abreast in transport aircraft.

The Lightweight was heavier than a standard land rover but could be partly dismantled for transportation and retained standard running gear and components.

The series 2a lightweight's were built between 1968 and 1972 ..

The lightweight went on to become the standard shortwheel base vehicle for the British army as well as other armies around the world .

They were produced in 12 or 24 volt form and this one is the 12 volt GS model .This one has been upgraded to have an alternator instead of a dynamo .

( When we started the Jake Wright business all we mainly bought and sold were army lightweight's so we do have a lot of knowledge on these types of land rover )

This land rover has been brought in for us to sell by one of the customers who has done a great job of restoring it..

The attention to detail is just right in every respect  and it even has all the correct pioneer tools on the tailgate 

We do not see many series 2a lightweight's these days as a lot of them ended up as off roaders , etc , so to find one in this condition  is rare . This one is a real gem !

Push type pump for screen washers
Correct type of screen washer bottle
Metal wiper motor cover
Original type seat belts
