Oxford's set of 1:76 scale models comprises three Limited Edition Land Rover Defender 90 Station Wagons, each appearing with the 2013 Land Rover specification, the first of which is 76LRDF009AU, registered OV15 YRG. Decorated with a distinctive silver grey lower body, the upper section including roof and bonnet is masked black. Exterior body trim is also black, except for door handles finished in silver. The vehicle’s distinctive status is confirmed with the Land Rover Autobiography logo on the rear offside panel to the right of the spare wheel.
The second model, 76LRDF007HE, is decorated in an eye-catching light green with matching wheel hubs and cream roof. Registered VE15 EPN with the number plate carrying the European GB logo in blue and yellow, this time the Land Rover badge on the back includes the Solihull, Warwickshire, England wording, which sets it apart from the standard. There is a plate on the nearside with the registration of the very first Land Rover HUE 166 hence the name Heritage of this model. Exterior trim is predominantly black and the interior is green with ivory seating.
Rounding off the set is 76LRDF008AD, which adds further colour to the trio, appearing with a fiery orange body with contrasting black masking to roof, tailgate, bonnet, wheel arches and radiator grille. Also registered in 2015 as VK15 NEJ, the decoration includes the 90 logo in black out of orange on the nearside between the front wheel arch and passenger door. The model named the Adventure is also fitted with a roof rack which covers the black sprayed over sunroof.
The set, which commemorates 68 years of the Defender, will make a superb gift and collectors’ item for enthusiasts of the famous and much loved Land Rover marque and its British heritage.
