What is your all time children's TV car favourite?
Cars have always been a staple of children's TV but which one is the ultimate favourite? For me it has to be a toss up between the amazing and unique design of pink panther's car and the girly luxury of Lady Penelope's FAB1 car. Other great contenders would also have to include the Batmobile (obviously), Dick Dastardly's Mean Machine and Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine.
Herbie undoubtedly boosted Volkswagen Beetle sales after the films and subsequent TV programmes reached almost iconic status. Despite having celebrated its fortieth birthday, Herbie is still a much loved character with the young and old.
A roadworthy version of Lady Penelope's car was made for the film version of the hit TV show and even featured on CBBC's Newsround although sadly there are no plans for it to hit mass manufacturing.
Which children's fictional TV car would choose as your ultimate favourite and which would you love to drive?
