I wonder who this family is...

 

FaisalII King of Iraq, in the pic as a young boy

 

What I mean the link on here is not the same as my car

 

This seems to be exactly the same

 

and this one... the child is king Faisal II of Iran coronation 1953 death 1958.

 

Sorry that I was late to the discussion. Seems like you sorted it out though and carried on with a great conversation.

 

Late to the party, but you are correct, European

 

Very fruitful..next to try find parts

 

I'm more versed in vehicles manufactured in the US however I can reach out to some fellow collectors and ask them about finding parts for Triang Line
Brothers cars. Maybe you can bring the shine out on the diamond.

 

That should be interesting!

 

I have reached out to a cousin in Australia, but most parts are reproduction. I would like to try for originals first....dreaming I guess

Definitely much needed help Neal and thanks

 

Today I went to a local guy 'Collector" I was gob smacked. The amount of Vintage pedal cars and anything produced by the Triang Brothers, he has it, beautifully displayed and some amazingly restored. He doesn't have the version I have. Also told me that its going to be next to impossible to get original parts. He might have a hubcap that I have missing... Next time I visit I will take some photos to share..

 

That’s a pity about the original parts (but it was expected) But reproduction parts won’t be a problem right? What does he say about the overall condition of your car? If he doesn’t have your version does that mean it’s rare?

 

First thing he asked if I am selling it.... He would have loved to have it. I am having a feeling its rare for a reason or an other. He had in much worse condition then mine. Actually according to him its not in a very bad state. According to him its the mudguards that could be of a slight problem to reproduce. He himself does some iron work but not that kind. In meantime I sent an email to a group on FB Tri-ang Pedal Car Parts, I sent them the photos and asked if they can give me information. Snail steps...but good steps

 

Agreed. Good steps. Also if he wants it then that’s a very good sign..

 

That's what I thought, but a few years back I tried the market and I got positive feedback. I had no information about it at that time. I am liking my car more and more
