{"product_id":"oxford-1-43-land-rover-tickford-bronze-green","title":"1\/43  Land Rover Tickford Bronze Green","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe launched this newly tooled Land Rover in two-tone green and for its second appearance, it goes right back to a traditional bronze green colour scheme. It is registered MZ 9750 and a special feature sees the front grille with cut-outs for the headlights. The internal layout includes green seating with three front seats and two sideways on bench seats in the back. The dashboard and interior framework are a darker green and the floor is black. Launched in 1948 as an all-terrain multi-purpose 4 x 4, the Land Rover was very much a rural vehicle. To try to capture a wider audience with a refined version, Land Rover sought out Tickford, who were based in Newport Pagnell, to design the coachwork for the station wagon which incorporated aluminium panels over a wooden frame. The interior sported leather seats and a heater, whilst the body had a split rear tailgate and a smart metal cover for the spare wheel. Unfortunately, the new version was classed as a passenger car and therefore subject to purchase tax, which almost doubled the price for the motorist. As a result, the modified Land Rover Tickford sales were so poor that the vehicle was withdrawn in 1951 after only 641 had been made. However, today it is a rare beast and it is thought that only around 20 still exist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41471032688796,"sku":"43TIC002","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/products\/43TIC002_685x528_4dd1372f-3e67-408b-8d8a-f1cd43ac3476.jpg?v=1735873574","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/oxford-1-43-land-rover-tickford-bronze-green","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
