Is this how it all started? The very first plastic Anderson toy vehicle? This is the rare PLASTON SHIPTON SUPERCAR made in England 1961. I was only 1 at the time so Supercar passed me by but I can appreciate the direct lineage from this toy to those of Century 21 PROJECT SWORD in the mid-to late '60's. Funny, the box art reminds me of the JR21 Submarine Aircraft Carrier - probably just the sea-water! If you want to see more brilliant Supercar toys, including more of the Plaston, then visit Dave Hobson's excellent Mike Mercury site.
