GREEN AND RED: THE JR21 LAND ROVER

 Looking into the legs of the JR21 Thunderbird 2 I couldn't help noticing the Land Rovers too [referred to as a Jeep as well].

The Land Rover was issued with the JR21 version of TB2 and not the initial British HPM TB2, which had a mole.

Its 2.75 inches long.

The colours I can find online are:

Green

[not sure if this is a real JR21 Land Rover?]


and Red


Back in 2012 over very own Scoop pictured both his green and red Land Rovers, together with the HPM mole.


Over at the Big Red Toy Box you can get three different coloured repro windscreens ...


and as is made clear there, the grey windscreen is for another TB2 Land rover, the Spanish version by MOLTO.


The Molto Land Rover is also 2.75 inches long like the JR21 original.

I also spotted this 'white' MOLTO Land Rover, but I think it may just be a trick of the light and its actually a grey one.


Are there any other Thunderbird 2 Land Rovers out there?

  1. I'm pretty sure I had a grey Land Rover, but with black or grey wheels.
    I stepped on it, on the day I got it, and was in tears about it.

    1. Aw, I feel your pain Mish. Have you got a Thunderbird 2 of any kind now, perhaps with a Land Rover?

  2. In the first pic, that green car is actually based on the old Willys Jeep. You can tell by the folding windshield, the high fenders on the front and the body curve just in front of the driver position.

    1. Thanks Lance, I didn;t think it was the original Land Rover. I suppose lots of folks need something thats similar to go in the pod.
