Hello there,

Christmas is coming and my son would like a remote control toy Land Rover and caravan.  We saw one of these this year in Devon and thought it would be simple to find so we stupidly did not enquire where this one had come from.  We have searched high and low on the net and in the shops to no avail.  Would anyone know where we could get this?  It really would make a little lad's Christmas.

Thanks in advance

Try the mag Landrovers owners it has everything in it.  From real Landrovers to ones children can sit in and drive by batteir power.  I have seen many remote ones for sale.

This may help..... scroll through, one caught my eye, it may mean more searching but it might narrow the search  

Barlux (Italy).

• Land-Rover (Series III?), scale: 1/43, colour?; comments: a cheaply made model that is hard to locate, production ended not long ago.
  A caravan is separately available. Not part of a set?

A few years ago I build a 1/18th scale (I think) radio controlled Range Rover. Now this wasn't the model engineering feat you may expect. I bought a Tamiya R/C kit - IIRC it was a Manta Ray 4X4. Anyway, most decent model shops sell replacement bodies for R/C chassis and it just happened that they had a Rangey body. They may well have had a Landy body available but I'm not sure. At the time I hade a Rangey and made a miniature replica!

Dunno what you'd do about a model caravan, though...
