NATO Hitch. Military Lifting Eyes. Recent Canvas. Rear Bench Seats. Heater with Demist., Here we have for sale an early build 1972 Land Rover® Lightweight, finished in NATO green with khaki canvas and green wheels., Externally, this has all the features one would expect of a “good” Lightweight – the brand new chevron 750 tyres with matching bonnet mounted spare, front and rear bumperettes, NATO hitch, military front lifting eyes, wing top mounted mirrors, front towing pintle, recent canvas and vintage numberplates – to name just a few of them. It is great to see the military screw lenses also survive for quick bulb changes. We really think the photos speak as to the quality of this Land Rover®, and so rather than wax on about it – we’ll let them do the talking., The interior houses a pair of front twin standard seats, with rear bench seats meaning seating for six occupants including the driver. Many of the features which are missing from lots of Lightweights are present here – we see many missing heaters, demist vents, fly screens, plastic wiper motor covers and steering column shrouding – all still fitted and great to see. A load mat protects the rear floor against scratches., Out on the road, this old girl delivers a pleasing period drive, enhanced by both the 750 tyres for extra gearing and off-road ability and the weber carburettor for more power over standard. This one also still has its twin tanks fitted when they are often missing, though we have not tested them and it is currently running on its passenger tank. It is a real hoot to drive and the narrower track and lower weight than a civilian Series 3 means a keen and “peppy” feel., In summary then..
