This long wheelbase Land Rover Defenderin 1:148 scale in a rich marine blue and white colour scheme if offset by the RNLI's signature flag and Lifeboats wording on both side doors in red and white with the Crown and Anchor in yellow down the centre of the flag.
The Defender has had a roofbar moulded in blue and white with contrasting blue RNLI lettering. Registered HG56 LNY from 2006, additional detail includes the LR87 fleet lettering and the website address in white on the rear side doors. The interior is black and we also see the Defender name printed in gold to the right of the rear door.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution was founded in 1824 by William Hillary and comprises a registered charity run by volunteers with around 40,000 men and women who give their time freely and bravely to man the lifeboat when the shout goes out, day or night in all weathers. The RNLI, whose motto is Saving Lives at Sea, operates right round the shores of the UK including its surrounding islands and inland waterways. The lifeboat station is always worth a visit when open to the public and the larger ones also support a shop, where you may well find our Oxford replica lifeboat support vehicle.
