Cook Mark J.
Mark Cooks interest in the Half-Ton Land Rover started when he first bought an ex-military Lightweight and he’s owned examples ever since.
The first military vehicle he drove while serving thirteen years with REME and Royals Signals in the Territorial Army was also a Lightweight. In 1991, Mark was amongst the first to join the newly-formed Ex-Military Land Rover Association, which he has now served various positions, including Newsletter Editor and Chairman. In 1993 he bought and subsequently restored the only surving example of a Northern Ireland Armoured Lightweight .
