DESERT PATROL JEEP


This was one of my fave toys as a kid in the 1960's, part of my tin Big Four: Desert Patrol Jeep, Mod Monster, Space Frontier Rocket and the Lunar Explorer. I loved them all. Mum and Dad threw them all out when I turned into a spotty teenager. I got new ones when I was no longer spotty. My current Desert Patrol Jeep was bought for £65 in the late 1990's. A battery-operated bump 'n' go flashing -turretted tinplate terror! Anyone else got one or similar?

    saw one of these without the back gunner at the car boot last week - but it was on one of the rip off antique stalls!
