Hungerford Arcade is renowned for its unusual, quirky items and here is one of them. Stallholder, Ian Spuffard showed me this fantastic tin plate car “Sunday Driver” that is in fantastic condition. His father, who is 81 was given it as a present from his father when he was in his teens.
“Sunday Driver” is battery driven, made by (Masudaya) Modern Toys of Japan.
Masudaya, also known asMasudaya Modern Toys, is a Japanese toy maker which became known as a leading builder of mechanical and battery operated toys in the post World War II era. Unlike most of their competitors, this company has managed to survive to this day, in part due to their involvement in the early days of the airsoft boom during the early 1980s. The company was known for essentially creating the “skirmishable” airsoft gun.
