Must mention for those that dont know that there are some fakes aka customs shown in the pictures above - the green SF Landrover, the wide wheels gold Landrover (an ebay created variation that results when a SF13 wrecker swaps wheels with the SF12 Landie to create 2 saleable variations from 2 ten a penny variations!)and the clear windows metallic plum Setra (window swap with common clear windowed yellow Setra to make the rare green windowed yellow Setra)

Indeed Mick and quite a few of those Brazilian models are obvious customs IMHO I have never seen so many "hand cut" RolyToys and Inbrima labels cut with such precision!! and they are all mint would you believe it!!!!.

There's some different roof colours on the Setra here, no disputing the white and grey. The plastics do discolour on these and the gold model in the middle may have started with a white roof, but it's a consistent colour including the rear lights and the front clip so I thought I'd include it.

Looking back at the Land Rovers towards the top of page 1, the base on the green model has clearly been tampered with. However, does anyone have an opinion on the base of the blue model a little further down?

It's one of the better ones I've seen but that rivet looks as though it may have been spread forcefully, resulting in a hairline crack in the plastic base. Even if the crack is actually a scratch, I'm still not wholly convinced.

I also have concerns about the blue Landy. The rivet spread is very wide and not very even. I would not be happy with it. IMHO
