I'll bump this up again. The Lightweight is about to lose it's "center stage" spot in the garage and get tucked off in a corner.
I'd like to see this go to a good home where someone will enjoy it more than I do. Current mileage since the restoration is 2500.
This is about to come home (the body shop only has a few more trim pieces and the convertible top to put on):
I can't believe no one has bit. I see the math at the top but tears come to my eyes if I read too far in. Has anything changed price wise? PM me if you don't want to make a general announcement. (or risk having my wife see the reply)
Well, not really. If anything, I think it has gone up due to the addition of the Roverdrive.
However, feel free to make me an offer. The worst that can happen is I say "No".
The Lightweight was recipient of the Best Military Vehicle trophy at the Simsbury Fly-In this past weekend.
Lots of nice show cars combined with lots of families with little kids = people complaining about kids getting too close to their cars. What fun is being a kid at a car show if you can't touch something? So, I invited a few families to enjoy the Land Rover. Their kids invited other kids, and I think at one point there were 8 kids in the Lightweight. A good day!
Hey cograts on the trophy. I can't believe no one has snatched this thing up yet! I think it's great you let the kids enjoy the truck, that's what they're for after all.
Springtime is just around the corner - the perfect time to enjoy cruising around in a soft-top Lightweight. It's a shame to see it just sit in the garage. PM me if interested or to arrange a showing.
All tucked away for the winter:
A few more pics of what currently has my full attention:
Well, I finally finished the restoration of my 68 Camaro, so the Lightweight isn't getting used. I think I drove it 6 - 8 times this summer.
I would love to see the Lightweight go to a good home. I'm actually willing to offer a finder's fee to anyone who finds the right person to buy the Lightweight.
This is why I don't drive the Lightweight any more:
I would like to see the Lightweight go to a good home for the summer. Otherwise, it will just sit in my garage most of the time and go to an occasional car show.
Asking price dropped to $29,900. All reasonable offers considered.
At $30k I was looking to break even. Luckily, I just went back through all my receipts from the build. Apparently, when I added everything up, I failed to realize that some of the invoices (some very substantial ones too) were credits. So, I had about $8k less into it than I originally thought. So, I ended up making $1k. That means I worked on it for $1/hr. Still way better than paying for professional therapy I guess!!
