This model is made from die-cast metal and comes complete with a clear jewel display box. Other 1:43 Models are available to add to your vehicle collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe launched this newly tooled Land Rover in two-tone green and for its second appearance, it goes right back to a traditional bronze green colour scheme. It is registered MZ 9750 and a special feature sees the front grille with cut-outs for the headlights. The internal layout includes green seating with three front seats and two sideways on bench seats in the back. The dashboard and interior framework are a darker green and the floor is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaunched in 1948 as an all-terrain multi-purpose 4 x 4, the Land Rover was very much a rural vehicle. To try to capture a wider audience with a refined version, Land Rover sought out Tickford, who were based in Newport Pagnell, to design the coachwork for the station wagon which incorporated aluminium panels over a wooden frame. The interior sported leather seats and a heater, whilst the body had a split rear tailgate and a smart metal cover for the spare wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, the new version was classed as a passenger car and therefore subject to purchase tax, which almost doubled the price for the motorist. As a result, the modified Land Rover Tickford sales were so poor that the vehicle was withdrawn in 1951 after only 641 had been made. However, today it is a rare beast and it is thought that only around 20 still exist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford Diecast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57498375520640,"sku":"OXD-43TIC002","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/43TIC002_1000x770_df263d1a-f340-4db4-9183-bb014ebee56c.webp?v=1772296478","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/oxford-diecast-43tic002-land-rover-tickford-bronze-green","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
