i couldn't find any XJ220 and E type in british green so i had to go for the red. i have 6 Bburagos in that collection.

Anyone want an M5??
Anyone want a drag Spec 67 musyand Pro Rods by maisto 1:24??

I would have taken your M5 but the only problem is that I dont like those ''M Power" decals/vinyls which u have painted.Also I live in Delhi.

Thats a sweet looking Defender shankar. What scale is it?

@Cyrus: Why are you getting rid of the M5?

shankar.balan · 19th April 2008, 10:31

thanks

i think it is 1:18 when comparing with my other models.
but its not written on the chassis - Made In China and I bought it a while back at Westside - you cant get Defender Scale Models at Auto Art or anywhere - I even looked for them in England and got a Landrover Defender Pickup version from Corgi as well as a bunch of tiny little landrovers in a boxed set from Hamleys - but frankly none of these are as good as what one used to get around 30-35 years ago - the ones my Dad used to bring me as a kid were first class - all made in England those days by Lesney toys!

cheers

Landrover Defender (Africa) - some dune bashing
Hummer (USArmy version) in the desert
Mini Cooper British Racing Green
then the Chrysler Jeepster - I love this and it performs very well when I play toy cars

Hey shankar, those 1:64 Defenders are Matchbox arent they. I have a white one just like yours.

shankar.balan · 19th April 2008, 12:08

both little defenders - green and white -are matchbox cars
however these new matchbox cars are nowhere near the ones I used to have when I was a kid - those were made in England -these are made in China - somewhere there is a drop in the "feel"

cheers

Nice Defenders shankar. I never found a 1:18 Defender yet, it is truly a classic. I have the white Matchbox version though, also have the Range Rover Sport and Range Stormer in 1:64.
