It is really nice and you should be proud to own it now. The slotted holes beside the seat in the drivers compartment...are they for something different not offered in this car or a different position for the seat back for different size kids?

I was watching an old film today called "Operation Third Form" it was about some school kids who turned themselves into detectives & were following a thief, one of the scenes was in a car show room & this advert for the Triang Ford Corsair pedal car was clearly shown as they entered the garage , the film was a children's film & it was a clear advert for the toy. I would like to see the original advert , it shows that ford had approved the toy too.
