I spied this this last night, just as the auction was about to end and thought it would be worth a bid.
Late 70's, still with the harness etc in their bags. I ve got a spare horse and reckon it will look the part with my Zulu troops.

I was indeed thinking of Mr DeWitt and his daughter. Don't you find them a rather fetching shade of AT yellow?

I'm not a fan of the colour, but I don't like customising old toys when they're in good condition and this one looks mint

Nice buy

. Its got a lot of potential. but as you say it would be a shame to destroy something in such good condition.
If you had to dull the wheels down abit, using water based kids paints would just wash off if you need to display it with your Sindy collection

I just missed out on the sellers boxed VAM horse and looked at 'other items'. I was gutted about it because it came with a great story. As a young girl she wanted a Sindy horse for Christmas but the shops had sold out, so her parents bought her a VAM horse instead. I was looking forward to sticking a VAM on it for the first time in 40 years, but got outbid

1 piece on its own is nothing to worry about dads but 3 is a start of a collection , but it is a very nice buggy and except for the yellow wheels does compliment A.M. well .

does anybody know if a Jack Hawkins figure was ever produced . it would be nice to have some of the great british actors from the the post-war b/w films the cruel sea , ice cold in alex, colditz , Rommel and all . probably just a pipe dream

cheers jim
