Description

Space Van is an unlicensed depiction of a futuristic space-roving six-wheeled vehicle. The casting features a peephole similar to a viewfinder; through it a picture of a space crew maneuvering a spaceship or similar craft can be viewed.

The casting was actually released as Space Vehicle but most places simply refer to this casting by the more common name of Space Van.

For the 1982 Megaforce Series this casting was retooled, featuring a all-metal body as opposed to having a plastic top and the peephole on the back was removed. The Aurimat Hot Wheels versions also used this tooling.
