Evening all,

Now then Buzzer, you are getting into the racey stuff!

In my childhood, (yea many moons long since), I had a pedal car of most elegant proportions, shaped as a 1920s Brooklands racing car, with the fin tail, and dummy megaphone exhaust…up front was a redundant number plate from one of the famileys defunct lorries…COA369…

I would travel everywhere at the wheel of this elegant, (and rather battered) device…what a transport of delight, as my fat little legs propelled me along the dusty pavenments… faster and , (well it seemed) faster.to the consternation of all other users.

My late Mother once told me that she always knew that I would work with lorries, because I was constantly reversing said bolide into tighter and tighter gaps…

But mine was not as racey as the picture you put up!

Come on Dennis, own up, I bet yours had chain drive…and a double chainwheel!

Cheerio for now.

Was this the model of Foden you were meaning John ? Now I just bet your eyes will be moistening a little as you recall the times you used trundle around Dudley in an identical Foden :wink: Cheers Dennis

1ROF found a shot of Bewicks fleet number 44, plus what I think is an early shot of you and your sister, need you to confirm cheers Buzzer.

This is a shot of my first motor ! Cheers Dennis.

I would say that is more like your last motor Dennis :laughing: :laughing: for the grand bairns :laughing:

cheers Johnnie :wink:

And you are not far wrong Johnnie :laughing: Cheers Dennis.

Greetings.All.
Ref. RAS 713,the Triumph Roadster,it was also known as the Triumph 1800.It had column change on the right of the steering wheel and the headlamps were in those days “Single Dip”.As you can see the dickey seat came out of the boot and had it’s own windscreen.A mate of mine had one when I was in the R.N.,and we used to come up to London for weekend leave in it.I think the engine went on to become the engine for the first Standard Vanguard Phase one,another grand car.All the best,regards,900x20. :laughing:

I think you will find the Triumph 1800 was a saloon and a good looker.It had a razor edge design.
