A FEVER OF YELLOW SPECTRUM PATROL CARS

The subject of yellow Spectrum Patrol Cars [or Pursuit Cars if you prefer and SPC for short] surfaced recently, so, with the help of Captain Scarlet, I thought I'd do a quick round-up of the one's I could find online.

The most interesting for Dinky collectors must be the yellow experimental SPC reported on on the brilliant Dinky TV Space Specials blog. I'll let you look yourselves 'cos they have a really fine picture and description here.

There are some yellow Code 3 SPC's online too. Here's a nice one that was a restoration project on You Tube. It's been on the blog before here.

There's also this McDonalds Code 3 with red wheels on Flickr

Of interest to collectors of plastic SPC's will be the yellow magicar version, which appeared in this 1967  Pursuit 21st Century Driving boxed set by Rovex Tri-ang, one of three magicar sets they put out but the only one with the yellow SPC I think. 

The set was blogged last week but I couldn't find any images of the Rovex yellow SPC out of the box. Only the red one. Can you?

For an exotic finish here's the Argentinian contribution and probably the largest of the fleet I think, the Explorador Lunar by Gorgo.

Gorgo's SPC came in various colours including yellow, which we featured on Moonbase way back in 2011 in this Argentinian medley I did below.

So readers, do you like yellow SPC's?

For more SPC colours check out Terry Harle's marvellous Tornado 31 fleet on Moonbase [see labels below] and the blue Dinky SPC on Dinky TV Space Specials, a superb bit of research by that blogger.

Have you got an SPC? Which colour?
