Elementary My Dear Silhouette!

Hello Moonbasers! I'm enjoying your posts as always, but the recent FAB 1 discussion sent me down a while new Google rabbit hole!

The Dinkytvspace website featured one of the most exhaustive explorations of a toy and its variants I've ever seen! 

Featured is a TV21 photo of FAB 1 prowling the mean streets of Meddings City.

A sign above one of the shop windows caught my eye and I just had to Google my hunch...

Have I cracked it, or am I drawing too long a bow?

Cheers, 

Looey

I received this email the other day concerning a prototype Angel Interceptor from 1979.

Dinky Toys TV Shows Space and Specials Blog reported on the upcoming auction. Have a read and click on the links.

Oddly enough I have seen something like this with very similar wheels and posted it some time ago.

Despite being yellow it looks very similar. What do you think?

Dinky Toys TV Shows Space and Specials Blog: Early August Item: Joe 90: Joe’s Car by Dinky

Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Dinky Toys: TV Shows, Space and Specials 102 Joe's Car by KO 8th August 2019 Two interesting new variants for the site for the 102 Joe's Car from the Joe 90 TV series. The first is a gunmetal base version, possibly an export version or even a factory error, whatever the origin, its certainly a strange colour combination. The second newly identified variant is the omission of the on/off switch labelling, next to the double headed arrow and possibly a tooling issue. A short lived change as the very first versions had the text labelling as did later and the last versions of the 102.
