Thanks for posting that Ray!
Seven people, including two World Champion Drivers, but 55-odd years later only three are still alive.
If this were another thread we could ask people to name them.

L-R Bruce Mclaren, Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, Graham Hill, Joachim Bonnier, (I think) Wolfgang von Trips.

(The pedal car was made by Triang, a representation of a Ford Zephyr convertible).

PS Whoops! Sorry Allan, I didn't get as far as your post!

PPS is that Damon!!??

Yes, and he's one of the two World Champions (with Graham Hill) and one of the three still alive (with Moss & Brooks).

The picture is new, but the pedal car is old, and what a car!

When I joined Autopuzzles in March 2010, I asked if anyone recognised the pedal car in my avatar. My father bought it secondhand in the late 1950s. I've never been able to find out who made it, and I've never seen another one like it - until today, that is!

It turns out to be a Leeway, made by Patterson Edwards (Leeway Toys) of Lewisham, South East London, and the front of it is intended to look like the radiator grille of a pre-war Triumph Dolomite.

It was apparently introduced in 1939, but production was stopped by WW2. I don't know if it was produced after the war, but as the Dolomite was an obsolete model by then, it's quite likely that it wasn't.
