Notes

From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.

In authentic, completely unused condition, this is an exciting model inspired by the popular 1970’s T.V. series ‘Space 1999’.
This particular early issue example is finished in metallic green, white and red, with shiny untarnished chrome thrusters and yellow (plastic) thrusters at the sides. Red windows. Shiny metal parts throughout.
An outstanding example – we have not seen better!

Complete with the unapplied decals still on the sheet too.
An early issue, so it is presented in the card and vacuum-formed plastic lid-style box. (later it would be presented in the card & cellophane box). Issued 1975-79.
Card base looks pristine. Always susceptible to damage, the plastic lid is notably intact, if a little age-darkened now, although still pliant (not brittle), and there are no splits or breaks. Little period price label.
A wonderful item – and not an easy find in this condition.
