Best Toy Pedal Cars !

[rswift]

Ok, I am being a bit previous here, as my Wife is not due with our first child for another couple of months....but idly looking down the line for a few years there are some really swish pedal & toy cars available !

What are the Junior Piston Heads driving these days...

I like the look of the XK8 & 2cv pedal version, and the obvious J40 cost more to buy than a decent useable hatchback !

Just curious

When I was a kid in the early eighties THE pedal car to be seen in was the Hamleys and Harrods sourced Sharna Triang Rolls Royce Corniche - God I yearned for one these little babies as a 5 year old! - I think they may have done a Merc SL too but can remember!

One of the little beasts is up for grabs on Ebay atm!

Rare blue model too!

Love the key and owners manual

That is fantastic...especially as a) I am picking up a very old & tired Silver Shadow next week and b) My wife is working in Manchester for 2 weeks....where the collection only...item is !!

I saw some at Goodwood FOS last year, great looking things but I cant remember the manufacturer.
Hopefully someone will.

I see that things have moved on since the 70's....I was born in '65. I remember my first car along the lines of this, but in white with a blue light on the bonnet !....and oddly I remember the first time I sat in in and pedalled along a 70's swirly green carpet in it. I don't remember wheels as 'street' as that though.

I used to blat around in a Vanwall Grand Prix car as a nipper, made by Triang. Dad still has it in his garage, really should make the effort to restore it. Had working suspension front and rear IIRC.

$38500 for the caravan and $30000 for a range rover to pull it

The ferrari testarossa that costs more than a real one is the serious joke:



Not sure if the website is genuine to be fair???

That is nice !....bet you get sweaty palms every time he gets near the garage wall...STOP..... don,t scratch it.
Does he do jobs around the house to earn the 4 grand or has he got a repayment plan?
