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.
