In fact I think these 3 pics show the same Land-Rover








and now the ID question :


At first I thought it was an old 1950's Toyota 20 Series pick-up, but details don't match...

Might be an early version of a Santana, which is similar to the normal landrover 110 we see plenty of today.

The door handle on the one in the pic is different than those of a Land Rover or a Santana.

By the way. the Landy's in the first pics.. are those 110's like the HobbyBoss ones.. or are those old 109's.... to me they look more like 110's?

They are definitely 110's they look like the station wagon types with the roof taken off.

Hi
Hisham if you go to this thread you posted a photo of the kit you need.
Hobby Boss SOV landrover
Mate it with the trumpeter type 63. and you will be good to go

Hilux , mutt ,landrover, type63, bj212 now all we need is a landcruiser and some 1/35 hind rocket pods.

Frenchy it doesnt look like a landrover that i know of door handles and body panels not quite right

You've beaten me to it Scott I've just found the same picture (1958 Nissan Patrol Model 60 G6) ! I knew there was "something Japanese" about this one. These guys must be collectors

EDIT : the model could rather be a 1960 one...
