The car has now been picked up by Alec Pringle who is storing it until we meet up at Stoneleigh. It is genuinely one lady owner from new and apparantly in excellent original condition, needing only a battery to make the lights work. Paintwork is good needing only a polish.

Looks to me like it could do with a Coke Swoosh!

Congrats!

Yes I thought it would look nice as a replica of the Coke car.

I displayed my copy so that it couldn't be kicked or scratched while I was elsewhere enjoying the car show. I have since sold the red TR8, still have the pedal car.

I sold it a couple of months ago. Long story, getting an accident damaged TR8 back as part trade. Guy is putting his Woody built engine and suspension in the red one, I'm getting my own drivetrain back with his damaged car...complete. I kept the Revolution mags. Car may be fixed or parted, don't know yet.

At Rothersthorpe today I will see my pedal car for the first time. During the last 4 weeks its done about 400 miles in a relay from Bognor Regis. Thanks to Alec Pringle for picking it up and delivering it to Phil Humphries who will be bringing it to the AGM today. If I am not taking a full size TR to Stoneleigh the pedal car could make an appearance on the TR Drivers club stand. Still considering whether to make it into a Coca Cola car replica.

I think the Coca Cola idea is a good one Chris. The two of them together will look fabulous.
