Back in the days when theme tunes were never the same, as due to copyrights the closest you got to the original soundtrack was a cover version by "CY Payne & His Orchestra" But after myriads of listening in the end you could never remember which version was the original and thus apart from the kids ...
In 1955 a new game was released. I vagualy remember it at school as a semi education game. The play and learn at the same time was certainly the reason my teacher in the infants allowed us to play this once our work was done. The whole thing was very reminiscent of the film starring ...

The standard version can fetch around £30 to £40 on eBay. Interestingly one of the very first Lesney Matchbox model of the dodge wrecker had the colours ...
These Tom and Jerry Corgi Junior Vehicles were a great novelty and so colourful. Though bits broke off them like no tomorrow when they entered a collision with other cars. They appear to be in the Whizzwheels range and are named The Tom "Go Cat" and Jerry "Banger" These are an amusing pair of vehicles from ...
This was a treat for any kids who loved short circuit racing with Hot Rods and Stock Cars, though most of my cars ended up in a destruction derby.
