Yes, same happy memories here. I had the Evel Knievel motorcycle plus his camper van. Many Star Wars figures too. Great days as a kid back then.

I also had it. Was such a fun, simple toy really. Great memories making ramps out of Ladybird books so that Evel’s bike could perform leaps! Or making him crash into squadrons of toy plastic soldiers lol. I was also lucky to also have the camper van which came with removable plastic sides so that you could easily access inside the van. It had a lot of accessories too, like toolkits and oil cans. Brilliant toys.

Oh wow, that van sounds brilliant! I had two of the bikes, one was the regular bike, and the other had kind of sparklers in the clear red exhausts at the sides that would crackle and glow as you wound it up! So cool! 🙂

Yes, the camper van was really cool. Oh wow, now you mention it I remember the adverts on TV for that bike with the red exhausts which would crackle and glow! In fact, looking at my print advert collection I can see that it was actually called the ‘Super Jet Cycle’, and that my van was called the ‘Scramble Van’. They made a fair few vehicles and accessories for the line, including a Formula 1 Dragster! See ads: https://thevintagetoyadvertiser.org/category/evel-knievel/

Oh yes, that the one! Brilliant adverts. The Super Jet Cycle was so much fun, I think it had tiny flints in each side that made the exhausts crackle? Would’ve loved to have had that van as well! I see in those ads there was a dragster as well with a parachute! Bet that was cool! 🙂

They’re so cool aren’t they. A friend of ours in the grove where we lived as kids had the magic treehouse, and I enjoyed playing along with that.
