Oxford Diecast 120LAN2011 Land Rover Series II LWB Canvas Bronze Green

The Land Rover Series II was launched in 1958, being superseded by the Series IIA in 1961. The off road Land Rover came with a number of variants, including 2-door or 4-door option; petrol or diesel; long or short wheel base; and selectable two or four wheel drive feature. The Series II was the first vehicle to use the well-known 2.25 litre petrol engine, which produced 72 hp and was closely related to the 2.0 litre diesel unit still in use today. The Series II also lent itself to a variety of uses in both rural and urban life. 

Here we see it in 120 scale as the two door, long wheel base version with canvas back, finished in the signature bronze green which Land Rover adopted across their whole range past and present. The canvas effect is moulded in a lighter muted green than the body.  Note the specially applied black mask behind the distinctive LR radiator grille. The interior is  bronze green with black fittings. Our model is registered YAC 654.
