jaywilli7610 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Great stuff thanks for that. do you know how many were produced? also what would be a reasonable price to pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I also saw a Landrover Disco with black and white tiger print from Britains, did anyone else see this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Great stuff thanks for that. do you know how many were produced? also what would be a reasonable price to pay? I looked at this and asked the price.....................................................................................£175 I believe I would have liked but quite pricey. Still another one will turn up at some point As can be seen from ploughmasters post it is a genuine, numbered Britains release, specifically for Chester Zoo. There was one on eBay a while back, not sure how much that one went for though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 There was one on eBay a while back, not sure how much that one went for though. £77.50 including the postage I missed one on eBay about 7 years ago which sold for a winning bid of £45 if I recall correctly. I don't know how many were produced, but probably only in the hundreds at most rather than thousands. I often wondered why they had a version of the blue Land Rover, rather than the striped Safari version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbear Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Nice! THanks for the pics, I've never heard of this either. As well as farm models, I collect totally non-PC circus and zoo related toys - mainly Corgi Toys - and showman related steam engines. NOW I've GOT to find one of these - Grrrr.... Heheheheh!
