Land Rover Para Recce Military Lightweight Olive Drab
Originally designed to be quick to strip and rebuild and only fitted with the essential equipment, the lightweight or airportable was designed to be underslung beneath a Wessex helicopter.
This particular example, one of the first Series III models from 1972 has been fitted out as a Parachute Regiment Reconnaissance variant and is fully stocked with decommissioned front and rear mounted general purpose machine guns, two cabin mounted rifles as well as smoke grenades. Along with the weaponry are two clansman radio sets, rear seating, jerry cans and all associated baskets and camo nets really bringing the full spririt of the vehicle alive. Based on a 24 volt fitted for radio (FFR) vehicle, just as the original Para vehicles were.
The perfect addition to any collection. It is ready to be displayed at military or Land Rover shows or just to have as a fun Sunday afternoon pub run vehicle. It will certainly turn heads.
