Description

Offered here is a genuine 1980 Land Rover Series III 88" Lightweight, an increasingly desirable ex-military example believed to have seen service in Iraq before entering civilian ownership.

Having remained with its current owner since 2006, this is an example that has clearly been cherished for many years.

Prior to this it formed part of a private military collection after leaving service in 1998, where it was preserved and only used for military displays and shows.

Presented in wonderfully original condition throughout, this genuine 24-volt FFR (Fitted for Radio) model still retains all the character and presence that makes these military Lightweights so sought after today.

The camouflage finish, original military equipment and period details combine to create an incredibly authentic example.

The vendor advises it is in excellent solid condition with a rock-solid chassis showing no signs of rust or rot.

The original 24-volt electrical system is in good working order and benefits...
