Ade-TR4 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hello All, Having recently become a proud Dad of a future TR-Owner , I thought I'd start him off in the correct manner. As luck would have it, I found a TR4 Pedal Car for sale in France, which is now sitting in the garage next to its bigger counterpart. Questions: By whom were these cars made in the 60s? (It's metal bodied) Anyone rebuilt one before? Any photos of original ones that may be used for reference? Help! Merry Christmas! Adey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bob-menhennett Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Adey Many congratulations on becoming a Dad...still walking ten feet all and wearing a silly grin ? Take great care of that precious little bundle. Pedals cars...might be worth contacting the Pedal Car Collectors Club....www.brmmbrmm.com/pedalcars...... to see if they can point you in the right direction.Otherwise a phone call to one of the major London Auction houses might assist.I understand that if you seek info by E-mail with a digial photo / photos (incorporating a ruler/ tape measure in the picture ) so they can guage size,condition, etc they are usually quite helpful.

Ade-TR4 Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Cheers Stuart, I remember it too! It belongs to Alun Jones (former Red Rose leader - not the bear) Really nice car. Adey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Adey, Congratulations. You may already have looked, but if you do a Forum search under the Main Forum section there was another picture of a white one on the thread entitled "TR4 pedal car" started on 13.12.06. Cheers Trevor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ade-TR4 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Cheers - Found it! Not 100% re: screen mountings though. Could do with an original picture. Aparently, the car was available in different sizes. Is this correct? Adey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
