LAND ROVER CLASSIC SERIES 2A SORRY NOW SOLD TO HAMPSHIRE

    • Land Rover Series 2a is at Jake Wright Land Rover outside the showroom .

Here for sale is a very very nice Classic Land Rover Series 2a Lightweight ,Airportable.

The airportable Classic 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 .

( 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 )
