Taz,I thought it was a landrover - hence the purchaseHowever watching the ABC Collectors program last night, a comment was made that during the war, they put holes in the bonnets of pedal cars to stop them being recycled for the war effort. This one has holes in the bonnet (allways wondered why someone would do that), so if this is a war-time pedal car then surely it's a jeep, as I didnt think landrovers were on the scene then?
The jeeps looked like this.

SupporterI love it!Taz,
The jeeps looked like this.
How old is that one? Must be around 50.
You're making me feel as if I had a deprived childhood.
All I had was the very common sedan shaped Cyclops.
I wish I knew what happened to our pedal car. Perhaps we just wore it out. It was handed down through 5 boys and 1 girl in the family.
Our little Cyclops tricycle lasted though. I was used by all 6 of us and then by my son and daughter, then handed on to a nephew.
How many of today's toys will still be usable in 55 years time?

Looks like a Landy to me Taz.
I had a pedal car when I was a young tacker,so did a mate.Mine was much more Jeep style than that one.
The mate and I left home at the tender age of 5 to explore the big bad world.We pedaled off looking for what ever we were looking for.We were rescued 5ks later down the road as the sun went down
Andrew
ahhhh those where the dayswhere a kid can explore safer
Allan,
I believe they were made in the late 40's early 50's. USA of course
When I was a kid, we had a hand me down, looked like the attached.
Cheers,

I suffered from the facts that I grew to pedal car age during the war, things were very tight financially, and as a twin, there were two of us.
What we got were a car each when we were about four. My brother's was fairly conventional, but mine was an "aeroplane" with stubby plywood wings, three wheels and rear wheel steering, front wheel drive, and a propeller driven by a twisted leather belt from the pedals on the front axle. It capsized real easily! Both eventually disintegrated or had bits removed to make other gadgets when we were in out teens.
I found later that my father rescued them from a rubbish tip and rebuilt them at his brother's place. Must have taken some doing, as with petrol rationing he would have had to carry them on his motor bike or on public transport.
