’Zebra-striped Land-Rover with an intact circular ‘LIONS OF LONGLEAT’ label on the bonnet. Opened hatch on the cab roof shows the keeper complete with the (usually missing!) rifle. Bright cast wheels with suspension. Plastic tow hook (earlier version with spun wheels has a metal tow hook).
Also included is the plastic lion’s den, correct with two male lions, one female lion. All three are fixed in place with the little sticky pads applied to the polystyrene plinth and den. Three portions of meat and a red barrel are also still present. So the full complement of accessories!
The polystyrene plinth looks clean and fresh.

Intact smooth original cellophane.
Notably, this example comes complete with the original, very fresh and bright detachable header card/retailer card.
