The 12A, B And C Land Rover




The Land Rover was the first car type vehicle in the 1-75 range. It was painted in military olive green, had a tan driver and grey metal wheels. It was made between 1955 and 1959 and is not too hard to find.

The second version of the Land Rover was made between 1959 and 1965 and like the previous model this model was only made in olive green. The first versions however were fitted with grey plastic wheels and are quite rare, the later ones had black plastic wheels and are not hard to find.


The third version of the Land Rover was first made in 1965 and was in green with brown luggage on the roof rack. This was later changed to blue with brown or tan luggage just before it was converted to Superfast which was released in gold color. Though there were variants that were released in blue, both gold and blue were extremely rare but unfortunately they are very easy to fake too. The regular wheeled green or blue versions and the gold Superfast are very common.
