Lucas's Land Rover

Since 1895 Hobbies Ltd. of Norfolk have been supplying model makers with materials, kits and plans. Plan P403 was used to build this realistic and robust toy Land Rover for Lucas one of my Gt. Nephews.

The Land Rover name was originally used by the Rover Company for a boxy four-wheel drive, off-road model, launched in 1948 — now known as the Land Rover Series, it is today regarded as a British icon. It was granted a Royal Warrant by King George VI in 1951, and fifty years later, in 2001, it received a Queen's Award for Enterprise for outstanding contribution to international trade.

Owned by multinational car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which has been owned by India's Tata Motors since 2008, JLR currently build Land Rovers in Brazil, China, India, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom.
