I joined yesterday, looking for good V-100 pics/informations.
I think I'm gonna love this particular place...
I dream about own a "V", who knows ??
I'm very fond of this armored car since I viewed it when I was young (15 years ago) in a movie called "Freejack" with Mick Jagger at the controls of one of them !!
I love his particular hull shape, it's a very fun looking vehicule. He also did a great job in SEA & then in Police SWAT units.
He has influenced all modern armored cars due to his original/efficient design, and has been widely used by numerous armies all over the world.
I'm very interesting in the Vietnam War conflict, I nearly got 50 books on this related subject.
I got some interesting pictures of nose art "V" in these books. I've made one with plastic sheet and 4-views (bad) drawing 10 years ago .
I also have miniatures of him, I own a nice collection.
Hello! and welcome to SS. I like your user name, do you ever see a show that was on TV in the eighties with the same name?..."V"..was a good show..enjoy all the info and all the people you'll meet here..all good..
Cedric, funny you should mention "Freejack". The blue one in that movie is one of the V's being restored by an SS member. It has it's turret back now. The red one Mick Jagger rides around in has also been restored to its proper colours.
It's a fun movie, especially if you like V100s.
Your "rides around" is accurate. Mick is the commander, and stays in the cupola . There's a third V-100 (an easy to miss red E1 w/o turret), Russian BTR60, British Alvis Saracen, and a few CJ type jeeps(civilian?). Jerry Hall made it and plays the reporter.
V's also appear in-
The Siege (at least 5 vehicles, good V content)
Dudley Do-Right (2 vehicles near the end, bad flick)
Three Kings (1 in background)
Superboy TV series(2 vehicles, ? # episodes)
Newbie fan of the "Duck", frenchmade...
