Oxford Land Rovers and Range Rovers at 1:76 scale.

I had many replies to my last blog about the Ford Capri and my appeal for help in choosing a new car (new or second-hand). I just couldn’t reply to everyone, my apologies, I will now narrow it down from around 150 options, so I will think on….

Many asked to me to consider buying a vehicle that had been modelled by Oxford. Peter in Bristol suggested ‘any Land Rover’, which morphed into a discussion about how many models we have released at 1:76 scale. Oxford has produced more variations of Land Rovers/Range Rovers than any other company at several different scales – 1:43, 1:148 and by far the largest 1:76 – so how many variants have we produced and why?

My fascination for Land Rovers started when I went to the local toy shop in Swansea with my mother aged around 9, I had saved up my pocket money for weeks. I chose the Corgi Lions of Longleat set which was well over my budget, so I borrowed the balance from my brother. There was something magical about that set, not only the Land Rover, but also the lion’s den and of course the lions themselves – each having a joint of meat. Over the next few years I built up a small collection of Land Rovers and would line them up, around 10 of them, what fascinated me the most were the small variations. Another favourite was Dakari, I had the Gift Set 7, but the Gift Set 14 was far too expensive for me.

Many would assume that the DB5 or Batmobile were the highest volume diecast vehicles that were produced by Mettoy, this is not true as it was the Land Rovers. The early tooling was often cannibalised and updated to a new version. Slides being altered to change ‘flat sides’ of the Series I, to the curved sides that are on the Series II.

Oxford has produced around 5 million Land Rovers, but how many different 1:76 variations and colour schemes? Listed below are what I think all of the Oxford releases are.

This is what I think the variations at 1:76 are – 205 range items, 21 sets, 25 promotional items, 14 range items announced but not released and 2 unreleased sets.

So the different variants at 1:76 scale are 230 with 14 more to come. That  does not include the few that I must have missed, any help in identifying these would be most appreciated. Of course we also have a lot more on our forward schedules for announcement at a later date. However it is getting more difficult to create new tooling as the options we have are becoming limited!

So first the 205 released range items.
