Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Bell Aurens Longnose Land Rover - By Michael Stegmann


Michael Stegmann submitted these photos of a very special Land Rover, the Bell-Aurens Longnose. The prototype custom Land Rover was finally ready in 2009 after 3.500 hours, built by Thomas Bell in Germany. The Longnose based on a 109ER Land Rover from 1967 with full-time 4-wheel drive with a Range Rover 4.6 liter 8-cylinder engine. Customers with enough money can order their own Longnose, for a price of about 235,000 Euros.

The basis for Michael's model was a significantly more affordable Land Rover by Roco modified with Evergreen sheet and profiles. The wheels were donated by a Chevrolet from Trident. Previously featured in Photo Gallery 630.
