Thanks for the history lesson everyone! :D

I guess I will quit the groaning, and use my imagination, which I guess was intended in the first place - a universal series that could be any country in the late 1800's early 1900's.

For me, a typical Victorian London street

Still, no British policeman >:( ;D

Damo :)

Spot on, Damo!   And you can always search for the elusive PlayPeople "bobby".

I just had a thought, you know Playmobil's usual them for vehicles is based German German German, it isn't a German car possibly?


Mercedes Simplex (1902)

Look at the headlamps, and the side lamps :o

You may well be right, Damo, or it could  be an American Lafrance:

I suppose Playmobil designed it with a combination of features - so it can be any car you want it to be depending on where you are in the world :cloud9:

No, I didn't notice it was right hand drive :eh?:

I think we can conclude that, based on early 1900's car design, its not easy to asses which of all the above cars the playmobil one is designed after... 8} 8} 8} 8} 8} 8} 8}

Tell you what though, I have a friend who is a classic car collector, real ones... He has a silver spirit...she is a beauty!!!!
