Custom vintage Triang pedal car , ideal showroom display piece




I have decided to sell a couple of my pedal cars to make way for a possible new purchase.

This one is a nicely customised Traing pedal car in a rather vibrant orange colour with new wheels and a new padded seat to finish the job off. The paintwork is not showroom standard but certainly gets people talking and would look good in any collection.

The pedal car is currently in Penrhyn Bay near Llandudno but I can get in to Manchester by arrangement if that is easier for some people. I strongly recommend looking at this item before buying to avoid any misunderstandings .

This item is pick up only !  cash on collection please

Please feel free to ask any questions by ringing on 07595320218 , I do not answer withheld numbers or long winded texts.

I do have this item listed elsewhere and may be romoved if sold.

1930's VINTAGE PEDAL CAR MAGNA N°8 MG F TOURING by TRIANG LINES BROS TRI-ANG


1930s-VINTAGE-PEDAL-CAR-MAGNA-N-8-MG-F-TOURING-by-TRIANG-LINES-BROS-TRI-ANG


for sale:

This is an vintage 1930's TRI-ANG MAGNA No 8 pedal car racer in very good and almost 100% original unrestored condition.

The car has been stored for years in a  personal collection / private car museum, hence the almost perfect original condition.

As far as I can see, the only parts that looks replaced are the four tires and the license plates.

According to a 1930's advertisement I found, the tires should be dunlop cord balloon tires (as on the J40), only the spare tyre is still an original dunlop cord tyre.
The 4 others have been replaced by Vredestein tyres.

The license plates are vintage "DIY made" plates,  that are on the car for years, and their patina matches the rest of this lovely pedal car.

The rest of the car is (IMO) 100% original.

Wooden body has some knocks and some playwear, paint looks original to me.

The black tonneau cover + seat upholstery has a lot of cracks (dried out) plus has a few tears BUT it's the original leather !

Mechanics are more then ok, everything (pedals, steering wheel, brake, windshield, horn) works fine.

Metal fenders have some knocks, but nothing that detracts the beauty of this car.

The small lights on the front fenders, seem to have contact-screws for electric wiring , but no wires are installed/included.

Hood ornament is damaged, normally should be an extra ring (loop) on top (looks restorable to me by someone with the right tools/knowledge)

Bonus is the original (optional) horn / bell and and little triangle sign on the rear fender with "4 wheel brakes".

SIZE: 145 cm long, 65 cm width, highest point (steering wheel) 55 cm.  (47 inch x 25 inch x 21 inch)


Have a good look at the pictures, what you see is what you get.


The BIN in 1930 was 5£ 5c in 2015 there's no BIN, it will sell at highest bidder.



ABOUT PAYMENT AND SHIPPING / PICK UP.

I live in Belgium , nearby Leuven. I would prefer a local pick up , so that the car doesn't get damaged during transport.

The pick up can be arranged in Leuven (hometown) or in Ostend (holiday house).

If really needed , pedal car can be shipped l, but it that case I will have to make a crate and check out a few shipping companies for a price quote.
(i would estimate this in a price range of 200-300£, since it's heavy and bid.) Also in that case i'm not reliable for damage or loss.

This is a super rare and valuable pedal car, so I guess if you really want it to arrived sound and save, a local pick up is the most logical choice.

I am not in a hurry, so if you win you don't have to be here in hours/days for an immediate pick up.

In case you want me the store car for a few days/weeks, I'll be asking a small deposit to make sure that the your are committed to buy.

Payment can be made on pick up (Pounds or euros). Sorry no Paypal.


Any questions mail me.


Probably a once in a life time opportunity to get your hands on this super rare UNRESTORED pedal car.
Good luck with the bids.

This is a stunning stove in a mottled blue grey colour with lovely nouveau cast decoration . It is in good condition with what I can see as only a bolt missing on the top, it is 29" high and 13" deep and wide, the enamel is all around the stove so allowing it to be away from a wall.
Basic design and features of the Godin stove brand include cast iron molded fronts with the addition of enamel on some models. A highly ornate and decorative aesthetic in the early art nouveau style is common. The mica window is a later edition. As manufacturing practices improved, thus improving the quality of the design aesthetic quality of raw material and general fuel consumption practices, so did the look and variety of Godin cast iron stoves.
The stove is very heavy and needs to be collected from London SE 18

Victorian Cast Iron Coalbrookdale Ceiling Rose 1869




Description

This is a very ornate original Victorian ceiling rose which dates from 1869.

Due to the high quality of the piece, it is believed to be manufactured by the world renowned Coalbrookdale foundry.  Many items manufactured by the foundry do not carry its mark, however the exceptional high quality of the cast strongly points towards Coalbrookdale as the casting foundry.

The rose has 12 fixing holes that have been cast on the periphery of the item, as well as two larger anchoring holes at the centre.

The diameter of the rose is 101 cm.

 It has a classical acanthus leaf and foliage design that provides a very elegant feel to the piece.  The superior casting is very pronounced and reaches into the room and does not lie flat like other contemporary examples.

When placed into a room the eye is naturally drawn to the piece and is an essential for any superior period home.
