Dinky Doppelganger

Can't help thinking I've seen parts of this Dinky Galactic War Chariot [Ebay] before on other Dinky cars. The Missile launcher looks a lot like the one on top of the UFO SHADO Mobile. It's an SPV missile as well. But I just can't place those clunky chrome exhausts?

It's from the Dinky 102 Joe's Car from the Anderson series Joe90.

And the astronauts and base are from the Lunar Rover.

Dinky was in a grim state by the time this monstrosity emerged.

That missile was used on the Lady Penelope "FAB 1" back in the day - it was housed behind the hinge-down radiator grill! It had a red nose cone and white fuselage back in the day...

Same missile with red nose cone and white fuselage for the Captain Scarlet SPV too.
