Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle by Dinky Toys, No. 104. Very near mint/boxed. 1st issue in card box with Instruction Leaflet, Firing Rocket & packing sponge. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
This Gerry Anderson model inspired by the t.v. series ‘Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons’ is in all original condition with no reproduced parts or repainting.
This early version has a very close to mint metallic blue finish, with original figure of Captain Scarlet and firing front rocket. This example has a tiny nick to the front transfer. Nice example with perfect black rubber tracks and aerials. Correct that this issue does not have a white cover on the roof button.
A little age transparency to the labels.
The brightly-coloured pictorial inner card plinth is an excellent backdrop for the model. Vivid fresh card has a couple of slot tears due to the weight of the model.
Original Instruction Leaflet & packing sponge:
Large pictorial outer box is bright, clean and complete. Tear to the always vulnerable tuck-in sections of the large end flaps and light wear besides.
