Almost Real Range Rover The British Trans-Americas Expedition
I’m trying to think of how many possible more versions they can come up with for this car for it to be released in 1:18, because we clearly know that they haven’t introduced enough variants…
Happy thinking, then: The number of versions that can be done on Land Rovers and Range Rovers is infinite, so that no matter how many more versions they´ll do, there will be always be one that some collector would have wanted and would start to modify a plain one into. You just have to reasearch how these vehicles were used. This version here might not appeal to you and me, but it could e.g. for a British (born) person now living in the Americas or to fans of the Range Rover/Land Rover in the Americas. I would even think that these versions were requested by collectors. Believe me, if these didn´t sell, AR wouldn´t make them.
I found this and the previous release “incomplete”. Both models lacks some stickers, for example, in the front doors the real cars had skull with the ‘Death or glory’ motto (the badge of the 1st lancers regiment I think, British readers p,ease correct me if I’m wrong). It’s a minor detail, and even the car that belongs to the Dunsfold collection seems to have this sticker removed, and some of the Duckhams Q too.
