Received this in the mail earlier this week from a semi regular seller I frequent. 1:43 scale, diecast body with plastic roof and chassis and small bits. A nicely detailed model non the less. £4.99 plus £5.25 for shipping (I thought that was reasonable). In mint condition the Land Rover Defender 110 CSW is a nice addition to my collection and I may add some more.
The box says it is a Land Rover New Discovery

I really like the wheels and tires on this truck. They look very realistic. Even the rear view mirrors are silvered and the wipers are folded on the lower portion of the front window. Hard to see here.

As you can see the base has some great detailing.

All in all a good buy for $16.27 delivered to my post office.

I take it to be a 110 wheel base although it looks longer than the 109 wb Land Rovers. It is interesting that it is a New Defender but on the box it says it is a New Discovery. Is this a factory mistake or does it have different names in different countries?

My first Cararamas wer bought about 10 years ago, they were a bit crude and there was less eye for detail. The latest versions are much much better. Whenever I offer them in my shop/stall they just fly away
