Vintage 1985 Noddy Die-Cast Toy Car by Ertl — Original Licensed Collectible
.
If you grew up with Enid Blyton’s Noddy stories, this colourful little car will instantly whisk you back to Toyland.
.
Made by the brilliant die-cast specialists Ertl in 1985, this officially licensed vintage toy features Noddy happily driving his iconic bright yellow and red open-top car — complete with his tall blue hat and that cheeky smile.
.
Beautifully weighty in the hand with a solid die-cast body, this is proper 1980s toy-making — designed to be played with, loved, and remembered. It still rolls freely and displays wonderfully, with just the right touch of nostalgic playwear to remind you it has already lived a happy little life.
.
Perfect for collectors of Noddy, Enid Blyton, TV nostalgia, British childhood classics, and anyone who appreciates a cheerful pop of colour on the shelf.
