When I was off doing a bit of sightseeing last week in Würzburg I passed a Opel dealer and he had a toy speedster in the window for kids to sit in and push around, anyone know if you can buy these? I might see if any other dealers have them but if anyone knows if you can buy them then let me know. Regards, John.

Vauxhall dealers have them as well from memory. Crownhill MK had one that was just about the right size for minime, and in his color :P

Yeah I would also be interested in having a silver one. How come the web page is in dollars if the company's only in derby?? <_< <_<

That would be great Mal but its the pedal car I am after and not a model car, something my nipper can have fun banging into the walls, stereo, fridge, you know the usual things 15 month old babys do! John.

John He deals with a lot of the manufacturers, selling them models for the customers. He got me the Opel speedster model, but it was an Opel part, complete with Opel box and part number. They'd been commissioned by Opel from Schuco. I've also got a Speedster tie pin - same story If I ask him he can probably get the pedal joby

John I've spoken to my son and he has contacts with some pedal car manufacturers. He thinks he might be able to get 1. I'll keep on at him :)

Hi Mal, Yeah keep on at him, I am sure a few of us parents would be interested in buying our nippers one! Group discount though ;) John.
