As you've probably already noticed I've got a bit of a thing for Landrovers, in particular Srs I, II, III's & Defenders.

It all started in the early 90's after I bought my first Srs. III, a bright yellow rag top. One of the chaps I worked with, Howard, was a avid collector of die cast models, or toys as I mistakenly called them. Occasionally I wandered around Manchester's model shops, flea markets etc, with him & having a couple of spare quid in my pocket I bought a "model" of a AA Dinky Srs I, big mistake, aweek or so later I bought another one, ten years plus later the collection is, lets say, grown a bit bigger.

Some of you are probably thinking "sad git"

When I remind my kids that these models are their inherence they both look at me despairingly, but as I tell them, it could be worse, I could be a train spotter.

Anyway for those that are interested, & lets face it most blokes collect something, be it beermats, porn movies, garden sheds, wives, hangovers, blah, blah, blah, here we go, details/photo's broken down by manufacturer of my Landrover die-cast colloection;
