Dinky SPC and MSV

Following on from the SPV, here are my examples of Dinky’s Spectrum Patrol Car and Maximum Security Vehicle.

My Spectrum Patrol Car is a later version which I bought from new in 1973, and remarkably it’s still in it’s bubble pack, although the acetate is very brittle.

 

 

The screaming turbo sound mechanism is sadly no more, and being a later model it has only one Spectrum roundel.

It’s a lovely looking model, though.

My MSV is an earlier version which I picked up from eBay a long while back to replace my battered play worn original.

 

 

No box, but it does have the crate of radioactive isotopes.

An article from the May 1968 edition of the Meccano magazine shows prototypes of both the SPC and the MSV.
