    The Rich Kids of Instagram have another toy on wheels to flaunt. No, it isn’t a diamond-encrusted luxury car, but this is close enough. Land Rover brought to the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Defender Pedal Car, one of the cutest cars in the market (I thought I would never say this! JLR makes anything but cute cars). Personally, it reminds me of a more elaborate version of Noddy’s toy car with leather-trimmed bells and whistles.

     

    The Defender Pedal Car will set you back by a cool 10,000 pounds (Rs 10.19 lakh) but it will be an ideal gift for your seven-year-old tyke. It could be used by him when he goes out with his friends to his mini golf course.  I believe we can already see Kanye West and Kim Kardashian get this for North West as one of her numerous birthday gifts. The car can be pedaled by children of all ages. Christmas is going to be expensive this year.

     

    Think about it. For this kind of money, in India, one can buy a well-sorted premium hatchback. It will keep your little tyke busy and off your hands for a while. And if you think this is too much money to spend on your children, then it can always be part of your car collection.  

     

    A Land Rover spokesman said: “With production of current Defender now in its final phase, the unique pedal car represents a fitting tribute to the one of the world’s most iconic vehicles.”

     

    We give you a closer look through these pictures :

     

     

    Powered by:  The drive assembly requires the young driver to pedal both forwards and backwards. It also comes with spring suspension and working brakes - complete with a parking brake.

     

    Dimensions: This hand-built  car measures 55in by 22in and incorporates Defender features such as a protective chequer plate and have cylindrical running bars and rugged off-road tyres with mudflaps.

     

     

    Built: This single-seater sports a rolled–edge aluminum frame with individual chassis number, while the exterior is finished in Loire Blue. Inside, it gets leather-trimmed seats and steering wheel.

     

     

    Features: There’s a working horn for scaring strays or the odd jaywalker, and a storage bay to stuff whatever may seem essential to a seven-year-old.

     

     

    Significance: The mini 4x4 has been styled to commemorate the legacy of the first-ever pre-production Land Rover known as ‘Huey’  and has been given its original number plate of ‘HUE 166’.

     

     

    Price: This car will go on sale in the spring of 2016 to celebrate over 60 years of Defender production and will cost Rs 10.19 lakh
