Yesterday I saw a battered old Jaguar car at an auction house.
It made me think of the black jaguar on the Avengers Shooting Game target set.
A proper black vintage jaguar would look like these old beauties as found on the web.
Cor!
If I had one of these I'd just sit in it all day on the driveway! Ha ha
The black one on the Merit toy box is similar. Here's one on the Vectis site. I assume that's Emma Peel with Steed. What a fabulous toy. I'd have loved it as a kid.
Did they actually use an old Jag like this in the TV show?
I had a Corgi(?) Police car set. I think it was Z Cars, but maybe it was just an unlicensed lookalike.
ReplyDeleteThe Police car was white, with some large square sign on the roof.
The crims were driving a metallic blue Jaguar just like in these pictures. Do any Moonbasers have better memories than me?
I also had an earlier period Budgie Police car. Gloss black, with a silver roof array with two very large cylindrical bells.
Does that ring any bells?
I like that Looey, crims!
DeleteBells on police cars are too early for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm from the 'nee naw' generation.
Ha ha, very droll Mish. You'll get nicked for Careless Mirthing!
DeleteIt was Spot-On (by Tri-ang) who did the white Z Cars toy Police car, based on the BBC TV series. Catalogue number 309 Ford Zephyr.
ReplyDeleteThere was a Spot-On set called Cops'n Robbers, number 802, that contained a white Ford Zephyr Police car, a blue Jaguar saloon, and three figures, in a large window box.
Ah, I knew a more knowledgeable Moonbaser than me would set me right!
DeleteGreat info Paul. Ta.
DeleteI think Softly Softly had Jags too maybe?
