The most recognizable model of the Mercedes Unimog is the small-scale model produced by Lesney Matchbox in 1967 as catalogue number 49. The Matchbox Unimog was a popular toy and thus continued production into the 1970s as a Superfast model. The Matchbox Unimog was released in two main variations, one model had a blue cab and bed and red chassis and the other had a tan body and turquoise chassis. Both models are relatively easy to find but I believe the tan models is slightly scarcer.--Model Collector

LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 STATION WAGON – ROYAL MAIL, GLENSHEE
Thirty-five miles north-west of Dundee and fifteen miles south of Braemar, in the heart of the Cairngorms, lies Glenshee; well known as a ski resort in itself, its environs also offer attractions as diverse as mountain biking, golf, walking, climbing, clay pigeon shooting and of course the Cairngorms National Park. However it comes as no surprise that the postal service of this beautiful mountainous region uses a vehicle that can be depended on to deliver the post when no other could; a 1993 Land Rover Defender. The tampo printing is really 'first class' and there are some excellent details. Shop here
