Superkings K-7 Racing Car Transporter interior

Post by Sir_Matchbox_96 »

Hi!
I had this K-7 Racing car transporter in my last lot and noticed that it has a blue interior. Seemed uncommon to me, so I checked my others which all have black interiors. I did some small research, but can't find one with blue interior.
Maybe someone could give some info's.

Greetings,
Linus

I loved this model when it came out because it was very Gerry Anderson to me and while I did not have one, my Brother did, but of course I managed to play with it when he was not around...!

Sorry I can not help with the interior colours.

Hello Ghosty,
It's nice that you are able to remember things like that from your childhood.
I don't know this saying "it was very Gerry Anderson to me" here in Germany, the only Gary Anderson I know is a scottish Darts pro and hits phil taylor this year :D

I think the blue interiors are hard(er) to find as I can't find another in Googles pictures. Vectis sold an Pre pro example in all red with blue interior which let me think that it must be an early run.

Hello Linus..."very Gerry Anderson to me"...means the vehicle looks like it was designed to be featured in a Gerry Anderson puppet series like "Thunderbirds" or "Captain Scarlet".

I have seen blue interiors before on these Linus although most seem to be black. It's not always easy to see the interior colours unless the photos are clear, so I'm wondering if the blue is scarce and often overlooked?

If pictures of these models are not good enough to show the interior, you can hopefuly see the headlamp and grille moulding, it is part of the interior moulding and will also show Blue or Black.
