The Spectrum Patrol Car (I still call it "The Saloon") holds a soft spot in my heart, as it was the first of the Dinky Toys I obtained. And I think it looks dynamite in black! SFZ
Yes, it another item I'll be adding to the collection, Zigg.
Actually, both Patrol and Saloon are equally valid, Zigg. As it's called the Spectrum Patrol Car in the Century 21 specification sheet for merchandisers, Dinky Toys named it that, although I believe it's referred to as a Saloon car in the series. When Corgi released their version in the nighties, they went with Saloon car.
Such a beautiful vehicle, and very handsome in black! SFZ
ReplyDeleteI reckon this Scalextric model looks better than their SPV, Zigg.
