The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Great picture! I love this model- it was in a five pack if memory serves me? It's better than the Corgi issue simply by not having a giant "The Saint" logo right on the hood. |

I've already seen pics of people just doing that - putting a giant Saint logo on it! (And why was it a 5 pack exclusive anyway?) |

Probably should add it was a British TV show...like the original Avengers. While I liked the Corgi Jr. Saint models - it was kind of a pain to have the big saint logo on the bonnets. It would have been nice if MB could have issued the white Volvo as just a single release. And who knows...maybe "The Saint" does indeed root for those Saints who play American football in the jazz city of New Orleans.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I don't think I've ever seen the US show in syndication. Since it was on for 7 yrs., that is odd that we haven't seen it on one of the nostalgia channels. Legal snags, I suppose. That's probably why many don't remember it or ever saw it. I do remember seeing the UK version a few times. |

Top notch series which Moore also directed and produced, tied as longest running British show with the aforementioned The Avengers 118 episodes [6 Series]. Spencer?:>} |

Ezekiel 25:17

Film version with Val Kilmer showed back in '96. Was originally a pulp novel series back in the Depression...which spawned a pretty horrible breed of disposable Saturday matinee serials. |
