Produced between 1958 and 1971, the Land Rover 88 of the “Series II” is synonymous worldwide with the off-road workhorse classic and has significantly shaped the history of all-wheel drive vehicles. Boasting a signature design, which features recessed headlights and rugged, angular bodywork, it encapsulates an era where reliability and functionality were paramount. Adorned in authentic forestry green with a matching tarpaulin replica, the miniature of this legendary off-road vehicle that WIKING has now created on a scale of 1:87 hits exactly the right nerve with collectors and lovers of historic forestry technology. For decades, the model has reflected the high esteem in which the “Landie” was held at the time, as it was used – far beyond the British borders – as an indispensable all-rounder in forestry on remote farms and in challenging off-road operations. The green paintwork underlines the functional character of the original, which was designed for tough everyday life away from paved roads. While the real-life vehicle impressed with its exceptional off-road capabilities and simple, yet nearly indestructible mechanics, the WIKING model perfectly captures the stocky, yet robust character of the original. Diorama makers will likely deem this variant of the Land Rover 88 an essential element, as it lets them depict rural work scenarios or forestry scenes of the sixties in great detail, keeping alive the fascination for this British classic in impressive fashion in the miniature world.
