Me too

Wow, just wow.

No need to wait, I've had it a few months so have got it sorted!

A friend of the family who was in the RAF for 35 years took an interest in the renovation so I named it after his late wife, hence the name.

Just got to fit the tyres.

Nice to inspire!

These really are lovely. I'm a keen DIYer but I could never attempt one of those - the patience and prep time to achieve that finish would be too much for me.

The plane is wonderful.

Doffs cap.

Nice work on all of these.

Me in mine circa 1969. I remember those sharp edges well.

Nothing else retro at all about this picture

That looks a bit like the one I had (see ^^^ up there), mine was a fire chief car with a hose on the back.

Really great work.

I just bought a Triang Vanwall like the three in the photo, needs restoration - this thread is inspirational!

[Sway]

These are stunning - top work OP!

Later generation, but I've just taken my Tri-ang Rolls Royce Corniche electric car out of the shed prior to putting it on EBay.

Never realised at the time, but the quality of these things is just superb. Other than the batteries being dead it's in pretty bloody good nick (oh, and the loss of the windscreen frame, but that was an in period calamity...).

Started this seventies dodgem before Christmas, made a new dog bed!

Beautiful work.

I'd love to see one of these cars in Ferrari red with proper shields.

Plus Marlboro colours would be great.

Also if it were possible, how about a six wheeler in Tyrell colours. That may well be the coolest pedal car ever made.
