Oxford Diecast 43LR3S008 1/43 Land Rover Series III Postbus Royal Mail
Overview:
Oxford’s short wheelbase Land Rover makes its latest appearance as used by the Royal Mail who used specially adapted Land Rovers, incorporating a closed rear section with large windows for better visibility of the mail being transported. The rear compartment was designed to accommodate postal workers and their mailbags securely. The vehicle also had additional storage compartments for sorting mail and carrying postal equipment. The vehicle was also totally suitable for traversing rough ground and accessing rural and isolated locations.
Our 1:43 scale Royal Mail Land Rover series 3 is decorated in bright pillar box red with a white roof and black interior, registered MFS 345P from 1975. The number plate is fixed to the centre of the grille on this release and there is also an additional board fixed to the white bumper printed KINGIE. The exterior is also finished with contrasting silver trim.
The Series 3 Land Rover was produced between 1971 and 1985 and was the most popular of the Series vehicles with Land Rover producing over 440,000 of them. It had a 4-speed gearbox with a selectable 4-wheel drive option and a choice of petrol or diesel fuel.
