Joe 90

An original miniature used in the production of Joe 90, the 1968 Supermarionation television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.

This is an original hover van filming miniature used in multiple episodes and epitomises the futuristic design for which Anderson series are noted. The miniature was built by the talented Century 21 effects team headed by noted designer Derek Meddings and is constructed from wood with a cab of heat formed acrylic, it has undergone restoration to include a new base and weathered paint finish complete with detailing tape as it would have originally featured. The miniature was later reused in Anderson's UFO in the episode Court Martial where it is seen on the back of the low loader towed by the Markers Universal Transporter unit which almost collides with Straker's car. 

The miniature measures approximately 20" x 20" x 10" high and remains in excellent restored condition, it represents the only original example of the vehicle known to exist.

An exceptionally rare example of an original Anderson series filming miniature of which very few remain in existence today, a highly displayable and incredibly rare artefact from this highly regarded Gerry Anderson production.
