CHARMINGLY TATTY YELLOW TIN PLATE TOY CAR
£0
£999
This beautiful 1930s tin plate wind-up toy car just oozes charm. Styled on a two-door sporty coupe with a large front radiator, sweeping side stripes and vibrant yellow paintwork. It must've been the prize of someone's toy-box decades ago and it certainly seems to haver had a lot of use (and perhaps a little abuse) but in my opinion this is exactly how a vintage toy should look; a bit tatty and a bit loved!
There are scratches, dints, dents and scrapes across the whole thing but nothing I would consider 'disfiguring'. It retains it's wind up key, but it's spring has lost a lot of it's oomph and is only really capable of spinning the wheels when lifted up rather than actually propelling it forward. Probably not a collector's piece, definitely not a viable toy but a perfectly decorative item!
The car measures 33cm in length, 14cm across and 10.5cm high.
