Toylander

As a child, I had a kiddie car. It was made by my father, using scooter wheels. With safety belts and the rear lights from a Volvo Amazon it truly was envied by every other boy in the street. It was constantly improved and upgrades - at one time it even got brakes.

That kiddie car is one of my fondest memories. Today, I've got 3 crazy boys of my own. It's my turn making them a kiddie car.

A few years ago, i happend to see the picture to the right on a website somewhere. It's a Land Rover. A small Land Rover. Some research showed it to be a Toylander. A gentleman in England makes a living from selling blueprints and more or less prefabricated parts for it. I ordered blueprints, and a few weeks later building could start.
