The 2003 version by Product Enterprise was larger than the earlier toys and given a duller spray finish. A 2023 ''[[Diecast Collector]]'' review of the product described it as "[i]n some ways [...] the best SPV model ever made, certainly in terms of detail and build quality", but criticised its "dusty, weathered" and "grubby" look.<ref>{{Cite magazine|magazine=[[Diecast Collector]]|date=3 January 2023|first=Mike|last=Pigott|title=Captain Scarlet returns: The SPV from Product Enterprise, by Mike Pigott}}</ref> Corgi released an updated version in 2024.<ref>{{Cite magazine|magazine=[[Diecast Collector]]|title=Set off in Hot Pursuit of Corgi's Latest Classic TV Model|date=1 February 2024}}</ref>
