Despite being more basic ‘Series 2’ model

RAC RADIO RESCUE LAND ROVER

The details didn’t end there as Corgi bestowed the model with tiny bonnet-mounted mirrors

the model being based on an Abbott of Farnham bespoke conversion

whereas Corgi modelled the rather racier fastback coupé

When you factor in the Corgi’s carefully moulded red interior and ‘Glidamatic’ suspension

Versions with red stripes separating the submarine’s yellow body and the white conning tower and foredeck are later issues and are less desirable to collectors

Featuring ‘Golden Jacks’ take-off wheels and a full racing livery

plus a detailed cream interior with tipping seats

It was introduced into the range in 1965 and stayed in production until 1969

it came in a Corgi 225 Austin Seven box with a ‘1966 RAC International Rally’ label stuck over the top
