Like the title sez, it's the "other" Land Rover Fire Truck. Well, maybe not back in the day, but it's a new release for 2021 ;)

Thanks! I modeled it off a photo of a real 1:1 Landy fire truck. The added accessories are all metal.

That's so nice! Lesney should've done this, it would've been a better seller than the other one in my opinion.

There used to be one like this when I worked at Prestwich Hospital back in the 70s parked in its own little fire station not far from the main gate.Prestwich had the biggest mental asylum in the country and it covered a massive area...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh we have a laugh hey? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: --No I was working there as a gardener [Probably the worst life choice for me] so we had the run of the whole area.It had one long road about a mile and a half between the two halfs of the hospital so it was easy to skive off and get lost for an hour or two...There where ten large rose beds at the front of the main building that is now a giant Tesco so it gives you an idea how big the flower beds where.. :D
