The Nene Overland team is delighted to offer this stunning, Left-Hand Drive (LHD) Land Rover Lightweight Air Portable soft top. This iconic military-spec 4x4, powered by the reliable 2.25-litre petrol engine, has recorded only 43,661 miles from new. Finished in classic Land Rover Bronze Green and featuring a high-quality, contrasting Beige canvas soft top, this vehicle captures the true spirit of British military heritage. It stands as perhaps one of the finest examples available on the market today.
This LHD Land Rover Lightweight is currently on-site at our showroom and available for immediate inspection. Because of its left-hand drive configuration and military pedigree, it serves as an ideal export candidate for collectors in the USA, Canada, or for those maintaining a second home in Europe. You can secure this turnkey classic today. Please enquire for further help and advice regarding import logistics or technical specifications.
Authentic Heritage Aesthetics & Off-Road Hardware
This Lightweight retains the rugged, purposeful silhouette that made it an international icon of tactical mobility:
-
Military-Spec Bronze Green Finish: The bodywork reflects the traditional military colour palette. The paint stands in exceptional condition, perfectly complementing the authentic Beige canvas hood.
-
New BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain Tyres: The vehicle rides on a fresh set of aggressive BFG Mud-Terrain (MT) tyres. These provide modern traction levels while maintaining the classic, heavy-duty aesthetic required for off-road trails.
-
Air Portable Design: This original "Air Portable" variant features the correct folding windscreen and cut-away bodywork, designed originally for tactical deployment, which makes it a highly desirable piece for any serious collection.
Proven Mechanical Reliability & Export Potential
The 2.25-litre petrol powerplant provides the simplicity and reliability expected from this era of Land Rover. Because this vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, it delivers a driving experience that remains as tactile and engaging as it was decades ago:
-
Left-Hand Drive Convenience: The LHD steering setup makes this vehicle immediately ready for use on continental European roads or for straightforward registration in North American markets.
-
Collector-Grade Condition: With verified low mileage and such impeccable presentation, this Lightweight represents a stable, investment-grade asset that will only continue to grow in collector demand.
-
Perfect Holiday Companion: Whether destined for a coastal villa or a remote mountain lodge, its compact footprint and legendary reliability make it the ultimate leisure-time runabout.
