X-20 Space Car: what a Beauty!



Whenever I see the X-20 online I think, yes, that's one gorgeous space car! 

 Almost art deco, it's atomic chops shout golden age designs like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.

With model number 226 and it's friction drive with siren you'd be forgiven for thinking it's an X-series JR21 toy.

I'm of a similar mind too. The X-20 and #226 numbering fits the X-series of toys.

It's intriguing.

Does anyone own one?

  1. I have never seen the X-20 Space Car before. Possibly the most archetypal fantastic design ever. Wow! SFZ

  2. Surely it's not 'almost' art deco, it must be bang in that range ?
    No ?

    1. Hi, no valuations here Netty sorry. Check eBay's past sales and see if ones there for an idea.
