I’ve owned and driven many Lightweights over the years, and this is probably the nicest, most sorted ones I’ve had, with the galvanised chassis being a real bonus. It’s full of character, and on test run on arrival it performed superbly. I’d even venture that it may be in better shape now than when it was first built…
