Further to my recent post about my old Desert Patrol Jeep by Modern Toys I had a browse round for variations and knockoffs.
This Desert Super Tiger above appears to be one such copycat albiet tooled-up for the garish Eighties. This is a Chinese knockoff from 1985.
The next two I found on the superb VECTIS auction site. Above is a Greek copy by Lira with its blue based box. Below is the Marx Tricky Action Jeep, which might be the forerunner of them all.
This last one appears to be a blue-gun variation from South America.
And if you've never seen the Desert Patrol Jeep in action then feast your eyes on this short You Tube film. It's one crazy vehicle! I remember taking it to my first school around '67 after Xmas. It was wild! Did anyone else take presents into the class, to show everybody and the teacher after Christmas?
We would have regular 'Show-&-Tell' days but I just can't remember if any were right after the holidays. I s'pose they were though
