Origin

Apollo Tracker origin

The Apollo Tracker is based on the Spacex Cricket vehicle, which in turn was copied from the Mosquito Jeep by Remco.


The Tracker does have much wider wheels than the Cricket, and my example also has a different driver, whereas Bill Bulloch's example doesn't (pictures below taken while restoring mine).
