Captain Scarlet Maximum Security Vehicle by Dinky

This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in May 2006 for £83.60 in the following condition:
This great TV-sci fi classic model is in stunning virtually mint perfect condition, there are a couple of (factory?) specks and the aerial is loose, but overall this is a fantastic example of this hard to find sci-fi model!
The model comes in its complete original first issue box, showing some overall age wear and creasing, but otherwise clean, bright and all 100 per cent intact - very nice indeed!
All in all a marvellous example of an increasingly hard to find Gerry Anderson sci-fi collectible from the 1960s, and a very nice addition to any collection!
