The Saint's Volvo P1 800S (no.258) was finished in white with a red interior and a figure of Simon Templar at the wheel. A black 'Saint' decal (which never appeared on the real car) featured prominently on the bonnet for most of the production run, but rather a white 'Saint' on a red bonnet-shaped label was substituted. This 1/48th scale model had a five year with rubber tyred, spun metal wheels, before being shod with the mandatory whizzwheels in 1970, the change of wheels coinciding with a change of catalogue number (no.201). The red bonnet label continued for the whizzwheels version, but the interior colour was change to either yellow or black. Jewelled headlights featured on both versions; 1972 was its final year.
