Pedal cars

Hallo all, just been discussing past favourite childhood holidays, and recalled Great Yarmouth in the 70's...remember some fantastic pedal cars which i was obsessed with when we went there in the summers....anyone know what they are called? Would love to have one now, but i imagine that they are either destroyed or massively expensive these days....used to pedal around for ages in a circle on them....

Linky shows a piccy of them...same track too iirc....

I remember them, down by the sea front.
Yarmouth doesn't look like that anymore.

That's right, near one of the piers i think....and you could get a ride on a horse right next to it too i think....?

Happy days...

I think that the resort has gone to pot now, if what i hear from people is right?

A few years ago it was a dump but now it's not bad, a lot cleaner and a covered area for the horses.
The whole sea front is different, you wouldn't reconise it now
