Came across this at a garage sale so couldn’t resist. Can’t find any info on it either which sucks. Anyone have info? There was 2 models, pedal and electric. This is the pedal version.
This is the size difference compared to the big one.

I put up a sticker of the brand. I have used google but can’t find much info as I said. That’s why I asked if anyone knew anything. People can specialise in certain things wether it be semaphores, barndoors or pedal cars.

Prestige Mini Motors & Rocky Mountain Motors was a distributors of these pedal cars, that is why you will see this decal on the back.
They also appear in the 1990's Sear's Christmas Wish List Catalogs.
The key word to look for are Jr. Sportsters or Junior Sportsters Pedal Cars by National,
They made the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet ( your version), Volkswagen Beetle, and Mercedes 506SEI Turbo in Pedal & Electric Battery versions. |

They are hard to come by, I don't have any back story but have only owned 1 or 2 which by the way was how many I've ever seen =)
I have a fat stash of the bug version though in both pedal and electric. |

I am brining back an old thread.
Does anyone have any parts for these? I'm looking for two replacement wheels and one hubcap for my sons pedal car version.
Thanks!

| This isn't a ton of help, but those Young Master tires look to be the same as what was on the Beetle pedal cars I've owned. So maybe the wheel / tire part is interchangeable? I know the Bug parts aren't super easy to find, but I'll bet they're at least easier to find than the Porsche parts. Look here for the thread about Beetle pedal cars. I think there might have been some parts info there. Good luck! |
