I love old Land Rover models - I have a few from the 50's and 60's here's my favourite. It is a 1950's Dinky Series 1 - with driver and Trailer.

I think it is quite amusing that G4 Orange was first used 50 years ago! Maybe life imitated art again ?:angel:

I think that's the same model as mine Slunnie. Even has the matching broken front bumper.:lol2: (Must have been a design fault)Quote:

That is also the same DInky as the one in my avatar!:cool:
I have seen mint boxed version for sale for many hundreds of dollars.
Note: You can also just see the rear PTO on the back corner.:)
It is the same as your avatar too Sleepy, I'd never noticed the connection! And you're right about PTO etc too. Actually, I'd never noticed the PTO, broken bumper or the tow hook on it until just now. :( Mind you I did wonder why it had white tyres....Quote:

Looking through a box of deceased estate stuff at work I came across this old Matchbox series 2 or 2a 'Safari' from circa 1965:

So had to photograph a few more, starting with the series 1s. Currently available from Hornby:

Then a series 3, one of the common $3 chinese made brands
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...2009/07/24.jpg
And getting all modern with a td5 Defender, creek crossing made easy (don't want to flood the ecu):

then moving up in scale, another series 3 LWB. Seems farmer Joe doesn't seem too happy to have a chat with the old swaggie when there is heavy work to be done. Which is man's best friend, the swaggie's dog or the farmer's old Landie?

I have a bunch more put away somewhere from 1:160 scale up to 1:24 and have a few kits put away for a rainy day.
I would like to acquire a series 2a SWB truck cab:ohyes:!
Cheers,
Mark
Bought a SII LWB in Light grey today. 1:18 scale. Bloody nice too.
Now my collection of Landy's are two and VW Beetles six.
One of the Beeltes is a 4x4 monster truck.
I recently saw a rock climber RC model with a Defender body available.
About 1:10th scale.
