Oxford Diecast Land Rover Defender LWB Crouch Recovery is a 1:76 scale die‑cast model produced under the part number 76DEF021. The model represents the Land Rover Defender in its long wheel‑base (LWB) configuration fitted as a Crouch recovery vehicle, and is intended to depict the period of the Initial Privatisation of the UK rail network.
The model is made from die‑cast metal with a detailed painted finish, matching the historic livery used during the early 1990s. It features the extended chassis, a mounted winch, roof rack and the characteristic Crouch recovery equipment. Dimensions are proportionate to the 1:76 scale, making it suitable for inclusion in OO gauge railway layouts and other miniature collections.
Designed for collectors and railway modelling enthusiasts, the Oxford Diecast Defender offers an accurate representation of a specialist recovery vehicle used by rail infrastructure contractors during the privatisation era. It can be displayed on its own or integrated into larger model scenes.
