Welcome to the forum. Chassis number and pics will help identify and value it.
As a land rover owner I have been offered (by friends) a "great little project". It's a lightweight radio vehicle with radio rack and plenty of spares. Currently in pieces but looks to be in good condition. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what I should offer so to not offend the family while still leaving me money in the back pocket for those unplanned costs. I don't know the exact model yet but will post more info as it comes to hand.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Not knowing much about the lightweights I took the families word on its age. I hope to get more details in the next few days including the chassis number. I appreciate the interest that I have received already and I see many more lads on this website have a passion for these great vehicles.
So I have been provided the following details:
Chassis No. 95104597A
Engine No. 95118993C
Engine size 2.2lt
Identification No. XE364930
Year of manufacture 1978....(not quite the year I was originally advised)
I will post a few pics soon.
Cool , its a Lightweight all right , officially designated Half Ton
not sure what the XE number is , X Code Lightweights were used at the Berlin Garrison but they were all LHD.
Simone de Lorenzo in this FB group will have more info for you

Nice one! I will look him up, thanks. At the end of the day I just wanted to make sure I wasn't buying a headache and that if I couldn't complete the resto project myself for any reason that the vehicle held some value.
Thanks again
Heres mine, also started life as a FFR , '73 model , but almost identical to a '78 model.
The Lightweight was never in service is Australia so is a rare thing here.
