Found this little clockwork racing car.

Found this little clockwork racing car. It was upside down and in the gloom of the shop I couldn’t really make out what it was. But retrieved and given a little polish, here it is. Destined for my study.

    I agree with all above Darran Hughes, now tell us you got it at a bargain price and you'll make us swoon too! lol I just love when people share finds like this. Thank you.

    Margaret Siemers I paid 5 English pounds (6.60 US Dollars) for it, so I don’t know if it was a bargain or not. It certainly appears to have some age but that can be reproduced easily. I just liked it when I knocked the dust off it. It fits in quite well on the little lounge cabinet.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/q3lj55PSpv_Ini4KCt8u2x4dMQezQaKDkfFCIjm-ElSNmjq3Os_CIpdmdFHUK0CzGQxe6qY3o7GhBtPkqarftixHszR4r87QwB8=s0

    Great little treasure! If I ever return to London I'm going to boldly request a tour of your delightful "museum" of finds:-) You do have a way with displaying them in such a pleasant way!

    Darran Hughes It does at that. It looks very much at home there.
    (and the lamp is impressive too.)
