Interesting Land Rover. If it's an ex-military vehicle, then it appears to be missing the mil-spec lighting (very $$$ and difficult to get parts for), the rear crossmember of the chassis has been changed to a non-military version, and the tailgate doesn't have the military-spec brackets for the pick axe & shovel. Other than that, it looks like a tidy little Rover.

Believe it or not, unladen weight on that vehicle is about 2900 lbs. Curb weight (with fuel & driver) is around 3200 lbs and Gross weight is somewhere in the 4700 lb range (according to my factory manuals). My Lightweight is 3200 lbs unladen, and can be field-stripped down to 2650 lbs for air transport.

I restored this 1963 Land Rover back in the 90's. I sold it to fund the restoration of my Land Rover Air Portable (the one that David posted a pic of):

The owner bought it from the people who restored it so some stuff was probably changed.

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO
