Action Man German Staff Car Description:
Action Man Taskforce's 4 wheeled German Staff Car with DAK / Africa Corps livery is a rarer Action Man vehicle dating from 1978 - a time of many vehicles being available to children from Palitoy and Cherilea. It is blow molded in a sand colour to hold 2 - 4 Action Men, and features a folding windshield and removable front bench seats. The German Staff Car came with self-adhesive stickers - buy Reproduction Stickers here.
Notes:
The blow-molded German Armoured Car does not appear in any Equipment Manuals. It can be considered a rarity. The Staff Car was blow-molded in the Coalville Pailtoy Factory for Palitoy General Sales. It has a push in black steering wheel. The vehicle was ideally suited to the German Afrika-Korps figures. It is of tough construction, however the stickers are often lost. The box featured stars to put towards more Action Man products.
