Wide angle lens, blurriness and bad compression makes the picture really too bad to make out enough details. I would say we keep 'Land-Rover unknown' until we get a better picture. |

I agree, we need better pictures to make proper identification possible, but there are some things I can tell. The spare wheel is mounted on the bonnet and the sides appear to be perfectly flat. That means it can't be a Series 2, 3 or 90/110. That only leaves the Series 1 or Lightweight (airportable), and of those I think it is probably the latter as it appears to be a military vehicle (orange beacon, canvass stowed in the spare wheel * the occupants are in military clothes). The bullbar on the front is misleading, but it does show the wings are quite low compared to the bonnet, which fits with it being a lightweight. |

Just "Light-Weight"? Or "Series-something Light-Weight" like the others that we have? |

The correct military name is the 'Land Rover Mark 1 Half Ton Airportable', but because they were designed to be stripped down to be carried by helecopter they gained the nickname Lightweight and have been known like that ever since. This Land Rover needs to be classified as Series something Lightweight like the others, but the problem here is its not possible to tell if it is a Series 2A or Series 3 lightweight. I think until we get a better picture the classification should be Series 3 lightweight as the Series 2A version is pretty rare. Even if we get better pictures it may not be possible to tell the difference as the changes were much smaller than on normal Land Rovers. In fact, apart from the synchromesh gearbox, Series 3 type combined indicator and headlight dip stalk and a few other minor details, the Series 2A and Series 3 versions are identical. the only version that is easy to spot is the initial batch of Series 2A models that had the headlights in the middle. The later Series 2A and all Series 3 models had them moved to redesigned front wings, just as had happened with the normal Land Rover. |
