“1973 Military Land Rover Series III Lightweight Airportable Truck Utility 1/2 Ton 4×4 with FFR 24 Volt Electrical Equipment 28,749 miles Right Hand Drive Excellent Condition with Great Tires. Runs and Drives Great. I have the Airportable Owner’s Manual and Technical Manual with complete diagrams from brand new. Land Rover version of a Willys or Jeep CJ. Just had it professionally detailed. The story of this Land Rover is it spent most of its early life on the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean. Hence the wonderful condition (NO RUST), unlike many of the same age in England. It was a FFR (fitted for radio) truck on a British Military Base. So the mileage was under 20,000 when brought to the United States.
It was a rare find! Lightweight Modifications: 24 volt Ex-Humvee Warn Winch with OKOR Winchrope, HD aluminum Hawse fairlead and self-locking winch hook. Rplaced stock leaf springs and original shocks with Rocky Mountain parabolic springs, Old Man Emu long-travel shocks, longer military spring shackles, and rear bump stop extensions. The difference is awesome! Old Man Emu Steering stabilizer.

Diff guards front and rear. Front pinion guard. Custom hidden rock sliders mounted behind checker plate sills. Detroit Locker in the rear with 4.75 gears, and extreme duty heat treated 24 spline axle shaft upgrade. True Trac up front.
Rear mounted spare tire carrier. Full soft-top with rear side windows and Summer bikini top. Defender Mirrors, Superwinch Freewheeling Hubs on rear axles (for flat towing), and Milemarker Selectro hubs on the front.
