Lovely. Something about a lightweight compared to the civilian model isnt there

Chequer plate is always a NO NO on a lightweight . However on the rear bumperettes of above was for the kids to step into the back and also the obligatory cup of T. and cake . Notice none on this pic . Click image to enlarge |

OK - you confused me (not hard!), I thought the photos were all of the same vehicle not two different ones

Wow, I'm drooling. My favourite old Landy was a '52 80" from many years ago, coz you could strip it down to the lower doors with the windscreen folded flat in no time.
This looks just as adaptable, but I've never had a Lightweight, so can I ask; what are they like to drive? The same as their 2A or 3 counterparts, or are there any noticeable differences? |

I would say they drive pretty much the same as their civilian counterparts of the same era. No carpets though so a lot noisier than if you are used to driving a civilian one with carpets and/or a floor/transmission tunnel covering. If you get a 24 volt FFR (fitted for radio) version then the generator adds an extra load on the engine output and, on mine at least, the generator had it's own whine  |

Lovely! My Series 3 whines a lot too (well, the Fairy-washing-up-liquid overdrive does).
I'd looked at an ex Dutch Military Lightweight, they have a few different bits and pieces, and a Diesel motor, but I passed on that particular one. There's a place close to me here, that have an ex RAF S2A Lightweight, which was really, really tempting, but I needed LHD and it was RHD. Any way, yours is a really, truly lovely vehicle. |
