Land Rover
More Land Rovers can be found in British Cars, Farming, Military sections and Gift Sets.
416 Land Rover RAC Radio Rescue
August 1959 - 1962
Initially the model had a headboard. Later issues did not, having a different transfer on the canopy instead.
Both types can be found with smooth or shaped fixed wheels.
416 / 416S Land Rover TS EditionÂ
Issued for the Belgian market, probably over the same period as for the British RAC editions. Scarce.
417 Land Rover Breakdown Truck
July 1960 - 1962
The first version with an open jib.
Available with a tin rear section cover and smooth or shaped fixed wheels.
417S Land Rover Breakdown Truck
December 1962 - 1965
Now with suspension and an interior for a Series Two Land Rover.
Available with either the type 1 open jib (rare) or the later closed type. All have free spinning wheels.
477 Land Rover Breakdown Truck
December 1965 - 1972
This is almost the same as the 417S models but now with a plastic rear canopy section.
Available only with the type 2 closed jib but there are three types of wheel possible:
shaped
cast
Whizzwheels
The plastic canopy may have one of two designs of sticker. Late (but not all) Whizzwheels editions have the single word Breakdown in a curved style.
Transition models are known with the 417S transfer on the plastic canopy.
487 Circus Parade Land Rover
September 1965 - 1969
The Chipperfields Circus version of 472 came with a clown character standing and a chimpanzee 'helper'. Again, this is known with and without a tin hook.
It may be the case that later models were issued without a label on the bonnet. as they are easy to remove, however, it is difficult to be sure of any examples.
Despite being available for several years this is only found with shaped wheels, not cast as one might expect.
