New Models

A new tractor is due this year and we are working on another vehicle that will open up lots of possibilities if it is easy to build; watch this space. If you think you can guess send in your answer and if you are right and your entry is picked we will send you the first set of patterns. Be warned though it is a slow process so you should be able to get a few guesses in.

Pictures of cars and some details of the build up process of a Toylander 1 put together in our workshops from our ready made body for Land Rover Monthly magazine in 2008.

Insurance:

Driving our cars in a public place requires Road Traffic Act insurance [3rd party] as of the change in the Road Traffic Act amendments in 2000. Public place e.g. the pavement including outside your house, parks, shows, exhibitions, school playground, car parks etc.

This insurance is available from Tony W via our link to Walker Midgley www.walkermidgley.co.uk no connection with our business other than good service.

The prices (valid until 31 December 2009) for a 12 month policy are Third party public liability [£5 million cover] including Road Traffic Act = £32.75 (including 5% insurance premium tax)

For an additional £3.40 (including 5% insurance premium tax) per £1000 of value the cover can be increased to include accidental damage, fire and theft. E.g. £32.75 plus car at value £2000 = £6.80 total £39.55 (including 5% insurance premium tax)
