SPECTRUM PURSUIT VEHICLE

A few shots  I've taken of the iconic SPV , but can you name the makers? 








And what would be a collective noun for a group of SPV's ?

  1. Number one is a JR21 I reckon Scoop. Collective noun? A medding?

    1. I like it Woodsy, a medding of SPV's, perfect. You're spot on with the top one being C21 too.

    2. What do you think about the collective noun for SPV? - As in the fiction it was based on the "Zeus Tank"?

      Delete
    3. Mmm! Interesting - If we take what Zeus is God of we could have A Lightning of.. or A Thunder of...or even A Justice of...

    4. A "Thunder of SPV's" sounds like a good collective noun, with a link to Thunderbirds. And as the MSV supposedly was developed from a Police vehicle that could be a "Justice of MSV's" - That is a really good point Scoop.

    5. Then we have a winner, Bill. A Thunder of SPV's it is. :)

  11. To anyone who may have information. In 1968 I was in the UX. I bought an (SPV) Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle. It was constructed of plastic and some metal and rubber tires. It was not Dinky nor Corgi. It's size was about twelve to fourteen inches in length, six to seven inches wide and about the same in hight. It was an excellent copy and very close to the actual models used on the show. I lost it in transit back to the USA, along with other things. A not uncommon problem for Military dependents. My question is whether anyone remembers an SPV like it, and who might have made it. You can contact here or by email eocsor01@consolidated.net. Thanks Very Kindly.
