All,
Having been in love with TVRs for years, and now having a 9 month old child, I am thinking of making him a pedal car in the shape of a TVR.
Now without going into too much detail the chassis is easy for a pedal car, but the bodywork is slightly more difficult, I am thinking of having one made out of steel, unlike TVRs.
Does anyone one here know the licencing issues of using a car design to make models / pedal cars?
As there are only about 20000 TVRs in the country, do you think that I could turn it into a business, i.e. would you buy one for your kids?
I believe that if my son starts now with a pedal car, I will have him hooked for life!!!!!

I guess the wedge shape would be the easiest one to do. (I seem to remember Ralph Dodds made a Wedge-shaped peddle car?) If you're after a more rounded shape, fibreglass might be easier than metal?
there is a nice business creating minature Land Rovers, with electric motors. Costs are £30 for the plans and up to £2000 for a completed model. They seem to make a nice living out of it.
The company is called Rebel Replicas and I'm sure that you will find them on the web somewhere. They may be able to give you some guidance on this issue. 01684 565 040
And by the way, I'll buy one if you eventually get it together. I suspect the key is to make expensive ones, not cheap plastic things. Make it a premium product!
