I remember those - I was offered the choice of that, or a very
realistic model lorry. The lorry had cast parts, all held together with
nuts and bolts, working steering and I think suspension, I think spring
motor, plus the tools to dissemble them. I eventually lost the bolts
and was unable to reassemble it. I came across them on Ebay last year,
they are quite a collectors item.


A Shackleton Foden! I had one about 30 years ago, but sold it and have
regretted doing so ever since.
