Oxford #76RCL002 1/76 Range Rover Classic Darien GapÂ
The British Trans-Americas Expedition of 1971/72 aimed to cover the 18,000-mile length of the entire American continent from Anchorage, Alaska to Cape Horn, using a pair of Range Rovers. The most notorious part of the journey was the Darien Gap, a dense jungle on the Panama/Colombia border that no vehicle had ever passed through before. Progress was painfully slow and it took three months to cover 250 miles, averaging just 3 miles a day, but the Range Rovers made it through. Both vehicles survive, VXC 765K in the Dunsfold Collection and VXC 868K (the subject of the model) at Gaydon. It is generally a good representation with the special extra features well replicated, but should be LHD as the real vehicles were Swiss specification export models.
