Collectors Corner

    For Christmas a friend of mine very kindly, sent me a model of the Lotus Seven as seen in 'the Prisoner.' The 1:43 scale model came with a French motor part-work magazine 'Auto Plus' Le Collection. Although the model is in 'Prisoner' livery, the magazine that covers the Lotus Seven 1965, not one single word is made mention of the 1960's television series 'The Prisoner.' There isn't even a picture of KAR 120C in the magazine, and in fact for the time,

1965, the paint work of British racing green, and yellow nose is wrong. The model should be painted black, which is the original paint work for KAR 120C, the re-spray of the car was ordered for 'the Prisoner.' So really to have KAR 120C accompanying the magazine in 'Prisoner' livery is something of a curiosity. Because the model as it is, does not fit in with the magazine that doesn't even mention 'the Prisoner' in a passing remark!

Be seeing you
