A lawnmower-engined rich-kid's toy. I want to be ten again and drive it around a huge estate in a place where the sun always shines. But my age seems to going the wrong way. Weep. :'(

It looks like a Czech-built Havel motorised children's car from the late 1970s-early 80s.

If it's not Czech, I think it's from Finland, but can't fully recall the name of the maker, which was something like Hopi, Kapi, or a short four-letter name like that  :-\

I think that's the exact reaction I will have. Really exercising my tired brain, could it be a Bambi?

Ah ha, it's French! That's why I recognised it!  I think its a Land Star, made by De La Chappelle near Lyon.

All correct! Just add the brand under which it was marketed and the point is yours.

Oophs, how did I forget to mention that.  As an Arola owner (a 14) I naturally should have mentioned the Land Star was sold as an Arola!  I was partly right about Finland too, as this 'car' was made under license there briefly, although I still can't recall its name.

Right, of course. Didn't know about the Finnish license-built one.
