Wanted Lightweight Project
Wanted Lightweight Project
Hi all, looking for a lightweight project vehicle. Prefer 12v happy to look at anything… Thanks David
Re: Wanted Lightweight Project
Hi there
If you are still looking then my Lightweight may be of interest.
Sadly I have to part with it due to my mobility being increasingly impaired. I had to part with my fabulous 101 several years ago when my progressive RA made using it too difficult. I bought the Lightweight as a consolation from a respected Lightweight Club member in the Wirral in 2013 and drove it home to London with no issues.
I have enjoyed it over the years including the LR London to Brighton as well as the Brooklands off-road tracks. Now my impairment means it has not had the TLC it deserves.
Galvanised chassis and the 2.28 petrol 12v. Weber carb with K&N. Starts and engine runs nicely. Tilt is now very fragile and door seals are required as well clutch flexible and some seals.
Body in generally good order and it comes with the overdrive unfitted as the PO thought it noisy. An easily repairable bulkhead panel came with the Landy for future refurb possibly. Lots of small bits such as under bonnet toolbox (repro), spare working heater and other bits too.
A V8 was fitted many years ago but the PO, a very respected Lightweight Owner's Club member took the Landy over from a relative and put the 2.28 back in it. Unfortunately, progressive Parkinson's made it necessary for him to part with it and I got lucky.
It wouldn't be difficult or too expensive for any enthusiast on here to bring up to pristine but although it is moveable, the porous clutch pipe means a trailer really.
Price is negotiable but for a Military Lightweight member I would be looking for around £4000. Happy to provide photos on request.
