PICS Happy 60th to the Land-Rover ......

1948 to 2008. Here are just two examples of this great vehicle. Don't forget Eddie has a few of these in 1:18th scale!

Those are fun; I have the red ambulance. Universal Hobbies did a great job on them.

Thanks for those shots, Chris. Some real history there and across their whole range.

They sure did Paul but they were all ...........

LHD! :((

They even produced an Automobile Association (AA) road side assistance Landie and this too was LHD! :))

What a British organisation operating solely in the UK with LHD vehicles! No way!!!

BTW their 1:43rd L-R's were the best ever Landie models in this scale.

Yes it is hard to believe Eddie but .........

that second shot really is a Landie! The FC BTW stands for Forward Control which is the same thing as your COE.

Eddie, I took these snaps at a vehicle rally a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it was cancelled last year because the fields were water logged.
