Why this car mattersThe Land Rover Series I 80" was one of the earliest utility vehicles developed after WWII. Its all-terrain capability and compact design made it a favourite among military branches, including the RAF. In the heat and sand of North Africa, vehicles like this were essential for rescue missions and mobile logistics.
This version pays tribute to the RAF’s Desert Rescue operations in Tripoli, Libya. The light sand colour and insignia replicate the appearance of the units tasked with retrieving downed pilots and navigating harsh terrain in extreme conditions.
How to use itPlace it on a desert airfield scene, pair it with aircraft or personnel figures, or line it up in your historical military vehicle collection. No tools or paint needed—ready to deploy out of the box.
