"Captain Scarlet" is a British TV series from the 1960s, part of the "Supermarionation" genre created by Gerry Anderson. The show features a futuristic setting with Captain Scarlett, a heroic agent defending Earth from the Mysterons, an alien race. The series is known for its innovative puppet animation and thrilling action. Fast, armed, armoured and amphibious, the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle is Spectrum's major Earth-bound combat force. A ten-wheeled two-seater bullet-proof vehicle capable of speeds over 200 mph (322 kmph), the 25 ft (7.62 m) long SPV has no windscreen and is driven from an aircraft-type bucket seat with the driver sitting facing the rear, steering the lightweight multi-purpose motors by television monitor. Entry to the vehicle is via a sliding side panel which incorporates the driver's seat. Each SPV is equipped with revolutionary radar installations, super sensitive two-way radios, an air-conditioning plant and a proteinised food supply, enabling the crew to remain entirely self-sufficient for long periods. The SPV's armament consists of laser cannons, ground-to-air missiles and electrode ray cannons - the only truly effective anti-Mysteron weapon. From the Captain Scarlet TV Series, the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle (SPV), is a high-speed pursuit and combat vehicle used by Spectrum personnel. Its driver sits facing the rear, operating the vehicle by a sophisticated computer-controlled monitor screen linked to sensors and cameras. Fitted with communication and life-support systems, the vehicle can be hermetically sealed, and many such vehicles are kept in secret locations throughout the world. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
