Condition

Although the listing states that the vehicle has been updated with a new starter motor, battery, half-shafts, and rear bench seat, the listing also indicates that the odometer reading is unwarranted. The vehicle has also been refitted with military equipment. Given the age and military use, there is a chance of mechanical issues. Therefore, the condition is rated as good.

The British Army ‑ and others, across the globe ‑ was a big user of Land Rovers, and this 1972 Series III Lightweight went into military service when new.
Lightweights had considerable modifications compared to standard Landies, with parts removed to save weight and many body components easily removeable should even more pounds need to be shed.
This 2286cc machine served with the Grenadier Guards from 1972 to 1976, then the Scots Guards until 1979 and the Coldstream Guards during 1984, before entering Civvy Street in 1985, according to the photocopy of the military history card that comes with it.
There's also a copy of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, showing its dispatch to the Central Army Vehicle Depot in Ashchurch in May 1972.
The vendor acquired the vehicle in 2017.
Recent jobs include a new starter motor and battery fitted in January this year, plus half‑shafts replaced and a rear bench seat fitted during 2018.
