![]() Today's car of the day is Oxford's 2016 Land Rover Defender 90 Adventure Edition. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Land Rover Defender ![]() ![]() I tried my best to resist adding any Oxford models, but some of the unique offerings won me over. While there are plenty of Defender models already available as toys in various sizes considered "small scale," this unique Adventure Edition replica was a must-have. ![]()

Since Oxford models are not discussed very often, I put a few other cars together to show how the smaller scale still works will with other smaller "3-inch" diecast. Included are models from Johnny Lightning, Matchbox, and a Hongwell Land Rover.![]() |

I like these Oxford models. I have 10-20 of them, and all are acquired within the last year when I finally gave up and allowed also models in scales between 1/87 and 3-inch /1/72 and 1/76) into my collection. Any 1/76 car than is of the larger side works well with 3-inch too. I think that Suburban next to it is also aroun 1/76 scale. But when you put Oxford's Hillman Imp next to those, it is just small! |

I've got a few Oxfords in my collection, and even though I told myself to stick with their emergency models I just had to add this Defender to my collection. Something about it I just couldn't resist.. |

I thought Oxford were 1/76 "dublo" size. What amazes me is the level of detail at the price! Seriously, why don't we see more of that level of detail at 1/64? Clearly cost or ability to make is not the reason. |

Oxford does a very good job of offering models that are very hard to resist! They have a number of classic US cars now available in 1/97th scale (yes, I have the Edsel) and do wish they would consider offering those in the 1/76th range of models. They are so well detailed and so very British!

Love Oxford! And they don't break the bank! They have a deep lineup of English cars-my favourite is the Humber Super Snipe Estate. |

I like details like the separate roof rack and door mirrors, but they lost me with the very noticeable black overspray around the right rear wheel flare. |

Think of it as a owner modification. Someone in their garage was doing a little touch up after a few adult beverages. |

Think of it as they got a little sloppy with my copy. I'm sure they aren't all like that. They also missed the silver on 4 of the lugnuts on the left front wheel. Neither flaw was noticed in hand; it took these pictures which are way larger than life, to even notice those issues. I may still order another - as stated above, it's not like these break the bank. |
