AndyB Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Just came accross this on Ebay - hadn't heard of it before. It seems you can buy it for £13 and they are going for circa £30! Does anyone know if they are and if so how limited the production is?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 they have been available from Land Rover dealers for a few weeks and should be about £14 or so. I think there were about 2000 made. edit: It is a limited edition of 2500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'll have a look to see if I can find it but I think I read that this 60th S1 Land Rover is basically the same one that was released in 1999-2000 in the 'Vintage' series on the wooden plynth with the series of tractors Britain's did, D.B. 900, Lanz, T20, E27N and the Marshall. The only difference with this LR will be the plaque on the plynth. The same Land Rover was also in the Ertl 'Elite' box. Around the same time as the 'Vintage' series tractors on plynth, Britain's also released a number of 'Home Farm' sets in lead in special padded out boxes harking back to the original Home Farm stuff. You don't see so many of these sets around and I was told that they were not that succsesful in terms of sales and the few outlets that stocked them sent them back, people thought they were too expensive.

ploughmaster Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 The model is just the Elite Series 1 Land Rover in a different colour (light green) packed in a special 60th anniversary edition box. There are 2500 and each model is numbered underneath. There is no plinth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 This one is different from the 50th anniversary model. Lighter green, different 'number plate' and the tilt is slightly different. Priced at £13 from Land Rover dealers. Individually numbered under the model. Different box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 mmmm nice colour!!! and the wheels....are they moulded to the axle or like the good old days \ \ \ There is no physical difference between this model and the previous versions of the series 1. Its merely a change of colour and number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
