GENERAL INFO
Introduced in early 1966, the 57C Land Rover Fire Truck was delivered in a NEW MODEL E3 box. The picture shows the model in its common appearance with white ladder and blue dome, and black wheels. The E3 box is also available without the NEW MODEL. The model also came in E4 and E4R boxes. The available size for E boxes is 3.
Only one variation of F box was made. The F1 “ALP” box came with blank end flap closers. The size is 5.
RARITY
The F box is less common, as well as the NEW MODEL E3 box. But overall, none of the 57C boxes are particularly hard to find.
