Yes Jim, Play with them is what we do! It is worth remembering though that in the 1950's when these cars were spawned people in europe were very poor and mirocars were all that many could afford to run and they were the lucky ones! For example my father had to cycle some considerable distance to work each day before the 1960's when he graduated to a moped, eventually affording a Reliant regal to transport the family, microcars were not toys or novelties to us buy serious transport, folk didnt have a gas guzzler in the garage and also have a messerschmitt for a joke to amuse ones friends, that was it if you were lucky!Thankfully things are different now! BRING ON THE TOYS, LETS PLAY!!!

no I was actually referring to Toy Cars, not Microcars.

I know many people that have collections of Toy Cars that were originally intended to be played with, but now they sit, carefully displayed, usually behind glass or up high on a shelf so the kids don't get to them.

Sorry Jim, I misunderstood, I could have spared you the tale of British postwar deprivation!

Well Bob, looks like I'm carrying on the trend, my everyday transport is a bicycle and one day I'll upgrade to a microcar.
