This a friend of mines pedal car which I am looking after for him. His uncle gave it to him in the early 70's when he was a nipper. Weve no idea what make it is, it has an M on the bonnet and a Triang dash board but that looks to have been added later. The fact it has a door seems unusual?
VERY COOL CAR
Sorta looks like a 50s 60s Morgan.
Does look a bit reminiscent of a Morgan, but I can't find a pic of a Morgan pedal car that looks like this one.
Found it, it's a 1935 triang streamline, it's on the catalogue cover, I realised the door was a suicide door and it must have been a car from the 30's so started to look further back!

Awesome DevonDan. It sorta bugged me that I could not place what it was. Mostly I was trying to find it's look alike with real cars. The grill resembles a Dodge/Chrysler Airflow of the 30s to me. ( I dug out one of my old shop manuals from 20s -50s and looked at the drawings)....

Thanks for looking, had me going too! I found this article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/caraccessories/8432958/The-pedal-car-museum.html. At the bottom it lists the streamline as one of their favourites.
