The Matchbox #12 Land Rover Series II, based on the second generation of the successful British off-road vehicle, was first released in 1959 and was produced until 1965, wearing either gray or black plastic wheels as you see here. This example, missing part of the windshield frame, is another of my Wichita eBay scores.
