Fast feet will be needed to enjoy three eye-catching lots at Bonhams’ Goodwood Members’ Meeting auction on 7 April.
These Morgan, Alfa Romeo and Auto Union pedal cars are all a cut above the standard kids’ fare.
Admittedly they’re also priced far higher than most – so if you’ve got petrolhead children of your own, you might want to have a reach down the back of the sofa in search of some spare change…
How much are we talking? Well, the Morgan ‘SuperSport Junior’ Three Wheeler child’s pedal car carries a pre-sale estimate of £900-1400. Yes, we agree, that’s quite a sum for a kid’s toy. So what does it get you?
In this case, a limited-edition mini Morgan, built by the factory itself a decade ago. It’s about ⅔ scale and a plaque in the cabin states this is number 055 of what’s thought to be 250 crafted to mark 100 years of the HFS Morgan design.
The 12V battery-powered headlights work, as does the front suspension, and inside is a black-vinyl trimmed seat and a three-spoke steering wheel.
How about something Italian? In the same sale is an Alfa Romeo 8C, a children’s pedal car handmade by Stevenson Bros in 2007.
