Oxford Diecast Land Rover Series II SWB Hard Top Post Office Telephone

The Post Office was a keen user of the Land Rover and here we see the Series II short wheel base station wagon version with a hard top in the yellow livery of the Post Office Telephones division. Registered SYF 4F, we see from the writing on the doors that it came under the direction of the Telephone Manager in Portsmouth.

The familiar corporate yellow colour scheme of this period in Post Office Telephone vehicles includes the colourful Crown printed above each of the rear wheels and a silver waistband running along the Land Rover sides. Other exterior trim is finished in silver but note the additional detail of the black winch pillar and yellow winch bar.

The model is another useful filler in your Post Office vehicle timeline.
