Poor quality fake -not just the plastic damage around the rivit but also the paint damage to the front sill where the baseplate has been levered off - blatant faking -shame we cant tip off buyer while he can still claim a refund!

This is a tough thought and because of a move I am without pictures (or models, they are all in storage).

Way back in the olden days (1979) I purchased a Land Rover in an F-box. I was somewhat annoyed that the car I bought was darker than every other Land Rover I had seen. I have come to decide that the earlier blue was a lighter mid-blue and the Land Rovers made in 1969 had a much darker shade of blue. The couple of real blue Superfast Land Rovers that I have seen are the darker shade of blue.
Where this is going is that the paint color on the Land Rover in question is too light. It looks like a 1967 or 1968 color and not a 1969 blue.
I really need to get mine out and show this off, but I would not buy this one.
