Sindy Incidentally

 I recently picked up this old Sindy Buggy in a Saltaire charity shop. Two pounds and a ton of fun sprucing up those decals.


The finished Buggy in the morning frost.
The aerial is borrowed from our Grandson Junior's Lego box.


What do you think?

I sometimes see these buggies in Space 1999 livery. Are they kosher or Code 3 customs?

  1. Very nice. I made one into a space 1999 buggy once.

    That is a really nice toy, and a great find. Great price too. Well done.

  3. Saltaire !
    You're in my old stomping ground again Woodsy. I went to Salts Grammar School in the '70s.
    Used to go past Salts Mill (which was a storage facility then, not an art gallery) every day on my way there.

    1. Ha ha! Yep, my daughter lives near Saltaire. It's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site Mish. You were stomping on very important ground! Alas, Salts Mill was shut that day.

  4. My instant thoughts were of a Moonbase Alpha moonbuggy too! I think Action Man or GI Joe had a 6 wheeled version available...
    I also apologise to Moonbasers everywhere for referring to custom one off die-cast models as Code 3 (which are limited run custom productions) when they are more accurately Code 4!
    I'll go stand in the corner now...

    1. Yep Looey, the Gi Joe buggy is slightly different but I think I've seen it Space 1999'd as well. Never heard of Code 4!
