Take me to the river!
Anyone own one?

  1. If I'm not mistaken this vehicle was featured in the closing moments of an Avengers episode. Steed and Mrs Peel drive one into a lake.

  3. An online guide to The Avengers lists the episode RP mentions as, "Castle De'ath".

    Wonder if we can find a clip?

  5. You might want to look at the Nash/Austin Metropolitan . a car that looked amphibious but wasn't !
    Schuco's toy certainly looked like it was an influence..
